[Verse]
Smokestacks loom, casting shadows so grey,
Every corner got a story, every brick got play.
Tires screech symphonies on avenues worn,
North End Toledo where the soul is reborn.
[Chorus]
N.O.N., tattooed in my veins,
Through the grit and grind, we endure the pains.
Concrete binds, but the spirit remains,
North End, where the hustle sustains.
[Verse 2]
Pigeon coops and alleyways, whispers in the mist,
Streets ain't paved in gold, they paved with grit.
Cut-offs and cold winters, hoodies stay zipped,
Born in the frost, our fire can't be clipped.
[Chorus]
N.O.N., tattooed in my veins,
Through the grit and grind, we endure the pains.
Concrete binds, but the spirit remains,
North End, where the hustle sustains.
[Bridge]
Power lines hum the melody of survival,
Graffiti sermons preach hope amidst the rival.
Coney dogs and corner stores, timeless threads,
From sunrise to sirens, this stage where we bled.
[Verse 3]
Every pothole a riddle, every step a prayer,
Made kings in the struggle, found riches so rare.
Railroad tracks echo dreams we defend,
This anthem for my city, the north where it ends.
