Gorilla T......

N.P.C.....

Intro
(Yeah...)
(North Port, Florida...)
(Way back...)
(You remember?)
(Grrah!)
From dirt roads to bright lights...
(Uh-huh...)
This the story...

Verse 1
I remember North Port when I first started this shit (took off)
Me and my gang thought we was the baddest in it (damn right)
Young and dumb, pockets barely had a dime (broke as fuck)
Thinkin' one day we'd be rich in this sunshine (dreams)
First little hustle, thought we knew the game (thought we did)
Put our money together, swear we couldn't lose a thing (nah)
Andre and Roman, yeah, them boys played us foul (fuck)
First time we got ripped, had us lookin' like clowns (damn!)
Couple years passed, whole scene got colder (colder)
Started chasin' bigger money, everybody got older (older)
Powder in the picture, money started stackin' (comin fast)
Every dollar came with consequences attached to it (facts)

Chorus
North Port, where the palm trees sway (North Port!)
Where a young boy could dream and lose his way (lose his way)
From Kirk Park nights to Biscayne Dr (Biscayne!)
We was chasin' that money, tryna make it go far (ballin)
Warm Mineral Springs, memories run deep (deep)
Some dreams came true, some got buried six feet (damn)
North Port, Florida, sunshine and pain (pain)
little town, but it never stayed the same (grew fast)

Verse 2
Then the best run came, money all around (money)
Yaya hit town and the whole scene got loud (fuck yeah)
People came jumpin', chasing something to numb (God damn)
While we watched that fast money make the whole town run (run)
From Warm Mineral Springs down Biscayne Dr (Biscayne)
Everybody knew the name, everybody knew the scars (facts)
Police seemed soft, so we thought we knew it all (thought we did)
Never learned the lesson 'til we finally took a fall (boom)
New school went up, brought a whole new crowd (new crowd)
New faces, new money, everybody talkin' loud (talkin to much)
Thought we were untouchable, thought we'd never get caught (never)
Then Travis came through and brought the heat to the spot (heat!)

Chorus 2
North Port, where the palm trees sway (North Port!)
Where a young boy could dream and lose his way (lose his way)
From Kirk Park nights to Biscayne Dr (Biscayne!)
We was chasin' that money, tryna make it go far (stackin)
Warm Mineral Springs, memories run deep (deep)
Some dreams came true, some got buried six feet (damn)
North Port, Florida, sunshine and pain (pain)
little town, but it never stayed the same (never)

Verse 3
Trap house barely livin', no lights, no water (no water)
Dog shit everywhere, but nobody really bothered (damn!)
Wasn't home, it was just somewhere we trapped (slinging)
Funny lookin' back at the choices that we made (haha)
Alona and her man had us laughing at the scene (laughin')
How the hell you live like that? Shit was filthy (God damn)
But back then, we couldn't see beyond the cash (cash)
Thought the good times would forever fucking last (never)
Then fentanyl came, whole city felt the weight (weight)
Watched too many people lose they lives to the fate (shits crazy)
Friends disappeared, mothers cried through the night (cried)
That's when that old dream started lookin' different in the light (way different)

Bridge
(Slow down...)
(Think about it...)
All that money couldn't bring nobody back...
(Nah...)
All them streets still remember...
(North Port...)
all the peoples we lost

Verse 4
(Ayy, let me tell it...)
I remember them days, we was young and wild (young)
North Port sunshine on a Florida child (Florida!)
Glenallen memories, then the new school years (yeah)
Laughin' with my brothers, never thinkin' 'bout tears (never)
We thought bein' bad meant that we had it made (had it made)
Didn't understand every choice had a price to be paid (facts)
Now I look around and the town still shines (still shines)
But I see all the ghosts from them old timelines (ghosts)
Kirk Park, Alam, Biscayne in my mind (in my mind)
Warm Springs memories that I can't leave behind (can't)
North Port, Florida, yeah, the dream still lives (still lives)
But the realest thing I learned is what you choose to give (choose)
You can build from the dirt, you can rise from the pain (rise)
Turn a life full of storms into sunshine again (again)

Final Chorus
North Port, where the palm trees sway (North Port!)
Where a young boy could dream and lose his way (yeah)
From them old-school days to the life we know (life we know)
Every scar tells a story everywhere we go (facts)
Warm Mineral Springs, Biscayne Dr (Biscayne!)
Every road got a memory, every block got a scar (damn)
North Port, Florida, place where dreams can come true (dreams)
But what you do with that dream...
that's all up to you. (Yeah...)

Outro
(North Port...)
(Florida...)
(From dirt to dreams...)
(From mistakes to lessons...)
(Grrah...)
North Port, where dreams can come true.
