[Intro]
Yeah, north side legends, real talk, aye
Money, drugs, rats in the shadows, we know the game
Listen close, huh
[Verse 1]
Stackin' paper, movin' silent in the night, yeah
Hustle hard, grindin' till the city light, yeah
Whispers in the alley, talkin' 'bout the snitching rat
Got the hood on alert, where the real at?
Lurkin' in the corners, shadows where we dwell
Fake friends switchin' like they know the true story well
Cats in the trap, ain't no love, only cash
Prayin' for salvation but it’s all so fast
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes wide, stay low, keep it covert
Trust is a myth, every move's an ode to
The streets, the code, gotta stay solid
North side warriors, never done, never stallin'
[Chorus]
Money on my mind, drugs in my veins
Rats in the shadows, calls in the rain
Snitches in the block, tryna bring us down
North side niggas, wearin' the crown
Keep it real, keep it true
In the hood, we do what we do
Never fold, never break
This the life we make, for heaven’s sake
[Verse 2]
Back alley dealings, beware of the rat
One sniff, one word, and it’s all gone flat
Cats snitching, but we got the streets on lock
Got your back, but don’t forget, the real don’t talk
Money stacked to the ceiling, blueprints of the trap
Lean in the cup, got us feelin' like that
Hustle till we blackout, freezin’ in the frost
Gotta make it out, no matter what the cost
[Pre-Chorus]
Lights dim, watch your back, the shadows creep
Trust is a coin; it’s gone in the blink of sleep
In the hood, north side, that’s the crest
Respect the code, or get the rest
[Chorus]
Money on my mind, drugs in my veins
Rats in the shadows, calls in the rain
Snitches in the block, tryna bring us down
North side niggas, wearin' the crown
Keep it real, keep it true
In the hood, we do what we do
Never fold, never break
This the life we make, for heaven’s sake
[Outro]
North side forever, slingin’ truth and pain
In the shadows, we remain, never sway, never stray
Money, rats, and snitches, won’t break our chain
This the real, this the game, let it echo in our name
