Kuttybear - Northside Lyrics

Meditation didn't give me peace
So I tried medication to put my brain on ease
Have you ever seen a rose bloom in concrete
I'm from the 12 in the coolest under the sun's heat, aye
Lost my youth when I was still a young
Hangin' with the crew and we was filling lungs
My section know the blues and the killings, huh
If you wanna hoop, then go get a gun
Shoot til your feelings numb
From Truman to the Ave, ain't no punks around
Caught a fade with the homie but for him I'll spit a hundred rounds
Gun you down if you ain't from round
Proud and safe to say that I'm just a product of my stomping grounds
Cause at heart I'm just a north side nigga, yea
I know some people grow up and they change
I'm the same, just a north side nigga
Used to throw up all three fingers in they face on the gang
I'm a north side nigga
Lost a lot of people who was with me round the way
It's insane, I'm a north side nigga
It's true, ooh
Down north in the square was like the motherland
Til the police came through trippin, f*ckin up our plans
Still yelling f*ck em' til they dead or til they free my clan
They pulled up on us unprovoked like let me see your hands
They had my broski doing time for things he never did
I reminisce on all the times when niggas had his kids
They put his body on the pavement way before he lived
That's why I gotta turn up once for me and twice for his
Back when the candy store was poppin out my grandma crib
We get up outta UCLA then we hit the Gregg
Or go and kick it with my niggas out on 55th
Didn't have no curfew, Grandma said just tell me where you is
Cause at heart I'm just a north side nigga
I know some people grow up and they change
I'm the same just a north side nigga
Used to throw up all three fingers in they face
On the gang and my north side niggas
