Norte Sidin' 2 Lyrics

by Woodie

Some more pride northside of the golden state
6 years later Woodie still holdin' weight
We've come a long way, worldwide the north is known
And tho' no border's shown northern Cal's considered it's own
It's a rich and poor thang where the poor be ridin'
If you rich and you kick it, better be providin'
If you hit a fat lick money's gettin' divided
Amongst the click, 'til this day that's why we survivin'
Pistol hammers cock back when bad vibes are caught
The streets are cold and quick with guns most fights are fought
Until you earn respect you ain't got the right to talk
So hit the streets like a pit, learn to bite and lock
That's the way we were raised up on these norte sidewalks
Never trust the cops or make deals with shylocks
If you solid homeboy, ain't gotta be from my block
Even if your outfit might not be what I'd rock
Cause we'll be back to back when we cross paths with rats
And out the shirt we probably blasted with half the same tats
Tho' this comin' from a man at times would love to die
From Frisco to Salt Lake feel the love and ride

[Chorus x2]
Grew up in the skirts of the east bay
Co. Co. county, but been on and off them freeways
Gotta taste of homeboyz up and down Cali ridin'
Flared up, tearin' it up "nor-te-si-dinnnn" (sang by Megan)

Skylark still runnin', same engine different body
Barkin' up the block with duals, lil' bird sittin' shotty
With a gallon of Bacardi in the trunk by the fifteens
Midnight cherry paint, gold and vogues the shits clean
In traffic with a passion convertible fashion
4 deep quick to hop out the car and start smashin'
Homeboyz even thicker in the Yoc these days
It goes to show them crooked cops never got their way
You speak on me and my team, what you got to say?
I still be fleeing crime scenes this ain't Dr. Dre
This music barely pays the bills but it's a way for homeboyz
To let our presence be known, hook up and make some noise
So hold them red flags high 'cause they signify
That north star in the sky shinin' down on our lives
Reflectin' souls of our loved ones killed in this cold game
Protectin' our domain, we murder with no shame

[Chorus x2]
Grew up in the skirts of the east bay
Co. Co. county, but been on and off them freeways
Gotta taste of homeboyz up and down Cali ridin'
Flared up, tearin' it up "nor-te-si-dinnnn" (sang by Megan)

The crackback's still potent, half the state off the hook
1 out of 4 highspeeds leave the police shook
The pigs are deeper than ever tryin' to shortstop our endeavors
By strippin' us of our freedom which only creates vendetta
We from Antioch, Pittsburgh, Oakley, Stockton and Sactown
Woodland,Yuba City, Chico, Hamilton city and back down
Manteca, Modesto, Tracy, Merced to Fresno
Visalia, Delano, Reedley, Hanford now let's go
To Hollister, Gilroy, Salinas, Watsonville
San Jose, Union City, Milpitas, Morgan Hill
Fremont, Hayward, San Leandro, San Lorenzo and Oaktown
San Pablo, Richmond, Fairfield, Vallejo on up to Rosetown
Back over the golden gate San Francisco stay ridin'
Daly city, South City, East Palo alto norte sidin'
That's just to name a few there's many more in between
Spread out to Salt Lake City, homeboyz can't be quarantined

[Chorus x2]
Grew up in the skirts of the east bay
Co. Co. county, but been on and off them freeways
Gotta taste of homeboyz up and down Cali ridin'
Flared up, tearin' it up "nor-te-si-dinnnn" (sang by Megan)

We still holdin it down
After so long now
Just tryin' to stay above the rest
The only way we know how
Loved ones lost bring the pain
But we still sidin' thru the rain
Loyalty and justice is our thang
Equality we shall obtain

[Chorus x2]
Grew up in the skirts of the east bay
Co. Co. county, but been on and off them freeways
Gotta taste of homeboyz up and down Cali ridin'
Flared up, tearin' it up "nor-te-si-dinnnn" (sang by Megan)
