[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!
