You heard the one one one
About the girls girls girls
They grabbed the mic mic mic
They tore it up up up
You heard the one one one
About the girls girls girls
They grabbed the mic mic mic
They tore it up up up

[Verse 1]
Don't hate congratulate
You know we're knockin' down doors straight out the gate
Wake from the sleep of ages, breakin' out of our cages
We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages
And we plunder and pillage within the East Village
Breakin' it down with that ill flock spillage
Better respect I didn't ask for what the heck
Well I'ma lead this fucking army like I'm Chiang Kai-shek

[Chorus]
We're Northern State no we won't stop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
For all the girls who love hip hop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
We're Northern State no we won't stop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
For all the girls who love hip hop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
[Verse 2]
You thought we'd give up the fight but we ignite
That's right it's raw we keep it strong
Been runnin' so long we forgot how to sit
We're making bad ass hardcore hip hop shit
I'm gettin dizzy and the sky is floating further away
I put the beat on repeat I got so much to say
And you're waiting you're not breathing holding your breath
Thinking how you gonna live when you're surrounded by death?
We might be hiding in caves with all seven sleepers
Hesta Prynne is playin chess with all the grand peepers
And the moss is the carpet where I lay my head
While your pillows of feathers turn to blankets of lead in your bed

[Chorus]
We're Northern State no we won't stop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
For all the girls who love hip hop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
We're Northern State no we won't stop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
For all the girls who love hip hop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)

[Bridge]
And you're waiting, you're not breathing, holding your breath
And you're waiting, you're not breathing, holding your breath
[Verse 3]
Sexism like racism and racism is ill
MCs getting faker than a 3 dollar bill
On one track you're droppin' hoes like droppin' droppin' bombs
Next track you writing odes unto your moms
We're moving toward the future while you're stuck in the past
And now you're throwing sticks and stones into your house full of glass
With your commodities and oddities and women are not part of these
There's so much more we can be than my MC heroes tell me

Hey hey!
Puttin' out a call to every region
Every legion if you feelin' the heat
Keep your ear to the street
Listen in on your dreams
The world is not what it seems, so get your notepad comrad
Blazin' like a young gun through the grit and the flames
On top of my game and I'm charging through fire
When people are speakin' sparked and inspired
Northern State kazaa'd and Limewired
Fat lip from my mic all these battle scars
I tell the story of my glory behind beats and bars
My love so true, I don't do this for you
Yo, I do this shit cause it's the shit I do!

[Chorus]
We're Northern State no we won't stop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
For all the girls who love hip hop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
We're Northern State no we won't stop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
For all the girls who love hip hop
(We were born to fill pages, we came to rock stages)
And you're waiting, you're not breathing, holding your breath
And you're waiting, you're not breathing, holding your breath
