(Intro:)
Hahaa, whats up
It's ya boy dNA in the house...
What you know about the North side of Rivercity?
Fredericton, New Brunswick?
What you know about Hammertown...
What you know about Devon..
and Naa'sis...
Yo...
(Verse 1:)
Yo, kids wearin' sneakers that's too small for their feet
cuz their parents smoke crack and live life in the streets
Gotta cheat just to make it alive
Alleyways full of crime,
over here, only the strong survive
Either get tough, or get stuck with hypodermics
Don't show an old dog new tricks,
he might just learn it
Somebody gets shot, chances are they quite deserve it;
the residents are anything but perfect (Yup..)
Every day I see the same old broken-down car
out in front of the local North Star Sports Bar
All the Doone Street kids got F's on report cards,
it's hard to live in poverty and grow up scarred
Hopin you might win the lottery or even get a job
at the nearby market
but you're treated like a slob
Only choice that we got
is to steal, take and rob -
We're Northsiders, bitch, we don't give a fuck at all
(((CHORUS)))
Cuz there is always hope, even if it is subtle
There's always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, yeahh
This is the North Side
This is how we roll deep when we ride, without question
Cuz there is always hope, even if it is subtle
There's always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, yeahh
This is the North Side
This is how we roll deep when we ride
(Verse 2)
From Devon to Naa'sis, you could get your ass kicked
just for lookin like a rich-ass kid with plastic
Shit is drastic; gotta leave your wallet at home
and walk the streets with a pellet gun,
pretending it's chrome..
Hammertown, son, smack up your dome
White kids, black kids, native kids: we gotta back up our homes
We get a welfare cheque - the shit gets drank,
until we're drunk enough to hold up the fucking job bank
Believe it? No pranks
Receive it, no thanks,
North Side honeys can't be trusted, they're fuckin' skanks
and they know it
They walk around and show it like they got it...
Cougars looking like they're fuckin' leopards, cuz they're spotted
The liquor store's about the only business we've got;
besides Murr sellin' pot, blowin smoke in your face
This whole fuckin side of the river is a disgrace
Webster ain't got words to describe this place, be(cuz)...
(((CHORUS)))
(Cuz) there is always hope, even if it is subtle
There's always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, yeahh
This is the North Side
This is how we roll deep when we ride, without question
Cuz there is always hope, even if it is subtle
There's always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, yeahh
This is the North Side
This is how we roll deep when we ride...
(Verse 3)
Gunshots 'n kids carry metal lunchboxes
At the Broken Bridge with a 40 of that hot shit
Straight R&R shots, bitch, kickin' topics;
Chicken in a box from the native supermarket
F****** wanna start shit?
Stay in your apartment, and
sell hillbilly heroin, like OxyContin
Hand-me-down garments,
plenty federal charges;
Squad car trips to the police station
"I told you pigs a hundred TIMES that I don't eat bacon!
Get the fuck up off my back, yo these cuffs are chafin'... "
That's a normal, everyday struggle on the North Side:
Stealing cars is commonly known as 'borrowing rides'
Every couple be like Bonnie & Clyde
............................................
(((CHORUS)))
Cuz there is always hope, even if it is subtle
There's always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, yeahh
This is the North Side
This is how we roll deep when we ride, without question
Cuz there is always hope, even if it is subtle
There's always a bright light at the end of the tunnel, yeahh
This is the North Side
This is how we roll deep when we ride (Yup...)

(Chorus)
Hate don't know no bounds
I'm hangin onto my ground, hope I don't go down
I'm talkin' (HATE)
Anger takin' your place;
manage it, before it damages all in its wake
We suffer great for the (HATE)
Sheddin' doubt on you
I'm feeling hate? I'm gonna shout on you
cuz you're a fuckin disgrace
I'm talkin (HATE)
You gotta let that shit slide
Keep on living your lives
That fuckin' hate shit'll eat you alive
I'm talkin hate
(Verse 1)
Let me demonstrate this flow like menstruate
Deep like when I penetrate, breathe and ventilate,
you suckas: better get in shape.
Featherweight; my letters make sense, then levitate
Take you higher, to a better place
on the center stage
Dark soda-drinker,
left-blinker/right-turn thinker...
I carry kitchen sinks on me at all times..
Stay prepared like Boy Scouts;
I keep my game on lock
like the front door of almost every Detroit house
Repeat my words, they burn and make your voice melt
Awkward feelin's, I burn[auburn] ceilings;
More prison cells than white cells
Correct: neck-peckin' cheque
You get your chin checked, like voicemail...
Bellboys shufflin' coat-racks
Plugged in the Matrix by a phone jack
My VISA Gold maxed,
no cash left, open vault latch
Urban assault rap
A-K's spray the audience,
displaying confidence every day...
I'm on that conscious tip
Hip-hoppin' philosophers, prosperous doctors
living well-off in marvelous mansions
and fancy-ass offices
Taunting them proper while monitoring,
watching their progress -
The Gentle Giant of Sweet Science,
cloning: multiplying
A stone can become a diamond,
so I can become a legend
High up on the edge I'll climb to the
sky, and dive to my death
and when the time comes to meet God,
with my luck, the gates will be locked...
Power-off, I'm erasing my thoughts
With these foes babbling prose, battling pro's
[____________________]
....with more crack than the snap of a bone,
Sit my ass on my throne in my castle alone,
with the feds tappin my phone, you can't ask me for dope;
Then yo ass'll get broke down, callin' Capital Tow:
5-0-6; pick up stix, bitch, stack 'em n go -
Traveling roads off the beaten path, tracking through snow
My wrath is so cold, I could turn crack back into blow, yo
(Chorus)
Hate don't know no bounds
I'm hangin onto my ground, hope I don't go down
I'm talkin' (HATE)
Anger takin' your place;
manage it, before it damages all in its wake
We suffer great for the (HATE)
Sheddin' doubt on you
I'm feeling hate? I'm gonna shout on you
cuz you're a fuckin disgrace
I'm talkin (HATE)
You gotta let that shit slide
Keep on living your lives
That fuckin' hate shit'll eat you alive
I'm talkin hate
(Verse 2)
At night, I can't sleep: a cause for concern
Can't remember what I've been taught
but I've learned not to discern
Transfer it like a cough with a germ...
Awesome at playing possum;
cuz things are NOT what they seem; not what
you've seen, and not what you've heard
Next lane, cross n then merge...
Quiet-spoken? Not in so many words...
I got lots on my mind, all the time,
stay on my grind...
9-to-5, shimmer/shine, fancy dinner and wine?
Yeah, right!
Air-tight when I draw breath
Hike on my conquest -
Might steal your life if you walk life, but talk death....
Done? Not quite;
Gotta heat the sauce next;
Won battles/lost bets,
drum rattles BEAT like a sinner...
Got a fork and mouth, but still can't eat: like a river
So hungry, I'd get a single slice'a pizza delivered
Bringin' heat in December;
Music so cold, fans got ghetto-blasters in their freezers and shiver, yooo
(Chorus)
Hate don't know no bounds
I'm hangin onto my ground, hope I don't go down
I'm talkin' (HATE)
Anger takin' your place;
manage it, before it damages all in its wake
We suffer great for the (HATE)
Sheddin' doubt on you
I'm feeling hate? I'm gonna shout on you
cuz you're a fuckin disgrace
I'm talkin (HATE)
You gotta let that shit slide
Keep on living your lives
That fuckin' hate shit'll eat you alive
I'm talkin hate
Hate don't know no bounds
I'm hangin onto my ground, hope I don't go down
I'm talkin' (HATE)
Anger takin' your place;
manage it, before it damages all in its wake
We suffer great for the (HATE)
Sheddin' doubt on you
I'm feeling hate? I'm gonna shout on you
cuz you're a fuckin disgrace
I'm talkin (HATE)
You gotta let that shit slide
Keep on living your lives
That fuckin' hate shit'll eat you alive
I'm talkin' HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE. HATE.
