[Intro] Norte gang Red rag hang From the block To the chain [Verse 1] Slide through Merced, Modesto Tíos on the porch, playin' fresco Lil homies tag walls in the alley Silver can hiss loud in the valley Hand-me-down flannel, button at the top Any wrong color, might make it hot Abuelita say, "mijo, quédate en la casa" But the streetlights callin' a little bit faster [Chorus] Norte gang, Norte gang, throwin' up the four From the yard to the calle, this the code we swore If you ride, then you ride, never say my name We just bleed one color, but we feel that pain Norte gang, Norte gang, pray I see the dawn Mama light a candle every time I'm gone [Verse 2] County bus chain tight on the wrist Public defender say, "please take this" Homies in the tank talk big on the case Judge in the robe don’t crack in the face Stains on the floor of the four-man cell Dreams of the block, but it's lookin' like hell Lil bro text, "when you comin' back home?" I just stare at the screen, feel the weight in my bones [Chorus] Norte gang, Norte gang, throwin' up the four From the yard to the calle, this the code we swore If you ride, then you ride, never say my name We just bleed one color, but we feel that pain Norte gang, Norte gang, pray I see the dawn Mama light a candle every time I'm gone
