(Intro)

Uh-huh

Yeah

TDN — The Dirty North

We built different

We bleed blocks

Let’s go

⸻

(Verse 1)

Dirty North raised me, cold blocks shaped me

Grew around wolves, so the love got shaky

Ops want clout, but they move too flaky

I was in the field when it rained, no safety

TDN — that’s gang, that’s fam

Where a handshake realer than a hundred grand

Where a look get you pressed, better watch how you stand

And the wrong move quick turn a boy to a jam

This North ain’t sweet, it’s grit and grime

Where you fight for respect or you fall in line

We don’t play both sides, gotta pick your side

And if you cross that line, then it’s do or die

Came from the dirt, now the name got weight

Now the Glock got a switch, and the safe got plates

We was broke in the dark with a mask and fate

Now it’s all black trucks with the dealer plates

⸻

(Hook)

TDN — yeah, we up now

From the North where the pain never shut down

We was raised in the cold, had to hunt down

Now the world say our name when we come ‘round

Yeah — TDN, we ain’t built like none

Dirty North where the killers and the real come from

If you ain’t with the code, better run, lil’ bum

‘Cause the streets don’t care, and the smoke don’t run

⸻

(Verse 2)

From the north where the nights feel evil

Young boys turn demons, no sequel

If you talk outta line, they delete you

Ain’t no cap in the zone, we lethal

I was outside posted in the frost

Where a smile don’t mean nothin’, it might get you crossed

Where a short fuse light like a Molotov toss

And your life get judged by the risk you cost

Dirty North, we don’t fold, we apply that pressure

Keep steel like welders, hands won’t measure

If I say it’s love, better know that treasure

But if it’s war? Then the pain come fresher

TDN — we done earned this crown

Put work in the mud, now the flags go ‘round

Now the block know the face when we slide downtown

And the name hold weight, can’t water it down

⸻

(Hook)

TDN — yeah, we up now

From the North where the pain never shut down

We was raised in the cold, had to hunt down

Now the world say our name when we come ‘round

Yeah — TDN, we ain’t built like none

Dirty North where the killers and the real come from

If you ain’t with the code, better run, lil’ bum

‘Cause the streets don’t care, and the smoke don’t run

⸻

(Outro)

Yeah…

The Dirty North

Where it’s loyalty or loss

TDN forever

Stamped in the cold

Huh. Slide.
