Lyrics

Push, pull, strive through the struggle and pain
Tryna make it out the gutter while we dodge the chains
Push, pull, strive every night we ride
Doin' what we gotta do just to stay alive
Push, pull, strive when the world turn cold
Young Northerners growin' up way too fast and old
Push, pull, strive 'til the day we gone
Through the rain, through the fire, still holdin' on
Yeah, raised in the bottom where the cops stay lurkin'
Mama work doubles while the dope boys workin'
Project babies hearin' gunshots at night
Tryna sleep through the chaos and flashin' lights
Pops doin' life so the streets raised me
Young Northerner posted up actin' crazy
Red rag hangin' while the county blues watchin'
Tryna survive while the devil keep plottin'
Homies hit the pen before they turn grown
Writin' letters from the cell sayin', "Hold your own"
Some came back solid, some lost in addiction
Some buried young from the life they was livin'
But this hood mentality embedded in veins
Learn to smile through the tears and the stress and pain
Ain't nobody give us nothin', had to hustle for meals
Now we grindin' every day just to know how success feel
Push, pull, strive through the struggle and pain
Tryna make it out the gutter while we dodge the chains
Push, pull, strive every night we ride
Doin' what we gotta do just to stay alive
Push, pull, strive when the world turn cold
Young Northerners growin' up way too fast and old
Push, pull, strive 'til the day we gone
Through the rain, through the fire, still holdin' on
Yeah, crecí con violencia, pobreza y dolor
Mirando a mi madre rezándole al Señor
Homies en la pinta por andar desolados
Muchos ya no viven, otros encarcelados
La vida en el barrio no tiene salida
Muchos pierden todo por la mala vida
Pero seguimos firmes con orgullo norteño
Aunque el sistema quiera tumbar nuestros sueños
Posted on the block while the rain fall hard
Youngsters catchin' strikes before they get a job
Tryna feed the family with a pocket full of rocks
Hearin' helicopters every night from the cops
Pero nunca nos quebramos aunque duela la vida
Con cicatrices grandes que jamás se olvidan
Push, pull, strive 'til they throw dirt above me
Northern California got my soul 'til they burn me
Push, pull, strive through the struggle and pain
Tryna make it out the gutter while we dodge the chains
Push, pull, strive every night we ride
Doin' what we gotta do just to stay alive
Push, pull, strive when the world turn cold
Young Northerners growin' up way too fast and old
Push, pull, strive 'til the day we gone
Through the rain, through the fire, still holdin' on
Yeah, now I'm older tryin' hard to break curses
Still got homies in the grave under church services
Still got cousins doin' years in the pen
Still got mothers wipin' tears once again
Life move fast when you chasin' that bread
One mistake leave your whole team dead
So I move with my head high and eyes open
'Cause these cold streets turn good hearts broken
I done seen real ones fold under pressure
Seen fake friends switch over for cheddar
But the solid stay loyal through the storm and the mud
That Northern pride still pumpin' in the blood
So if you come from the struggle, keep fightin' your way
Even when the dark clouds blockin' your day
'Cause this world gon' test every man alive
But real ones push, pull, strive
Push, pull, strive through the struggle and pain
Tryna make it out the gutter while we dodge the chains
Push, pull, strive every night we ride
Doin' what we gotta do just to stay alive
Push, pull, strive when the world turn cold
Young Northerners growin' up way too fast and old
Push, pull, strive 'til the day we gone
Northern soldiers forever still holdin' on
