North Street
[Verse 1]
Every store front is a hangout
With kids with nothing to do
And when you're walking up North Street
Keep your eyes behind you
See that chick on the corner
Looking slick and mean
Bet you'd freak out to find out
She's only thirteen
A stranger will try to get to know you
With friendship that just won't stop
Just when you begin to trust him
You find out he's an undercover cop
[Chorus]
North Street!
North Street!
You don't know the seeds you're planting!
Cool down, North Street!
You don't know the seeds you're planting!
Cool down, North Street!
[Verse 2]
Officials sit up in the office
Fat and full and fed
While many walk up North Street
Without a place to lay their head
Dope and liquor is the way out
Get it while you can
Cause' when you live on North Street
You know just where you stand
[Chorus]
North Street!
North Street!
You don't know the seeds you're planting!
Cool down, North Street!
You don't know the seeds you're planting!
Cool down, North Street!
You don't know the things you're causing!
Cool down, North Street!
North Street!
North Street!
