Norf Norf
Vince Staples Lyrics

Bitch you thirsty, please grab a Sprite
Hey, girl, you look thirsty. Do you want something to drink? Grab a Sprite.

My Crips lurkin', don't die tonight
My gang members are lurking around here, so be careful and avoid getting killed tonight.

I just want to dance wit' you, baby
I like you and want to dance with you, girl.

Just don't move too fast, I'm too crazy
Don't dance too quickly or get too close to me. I'm a little unpredictable and crazy.

Man down, down the ave and get shaded
If someone is shot and killed, they'll be laid out on the avenue and covered up.

Take a nigga mind off that
Let's get our minds off of violence and crime.

We can dip, fuck in the whip, slide right back
We can drive around, have sex in the car and come back afterwards.

In the function, one wrong word, start bustin'
In a party or gathering, if someone says something wrong, we will start shooting.

Put that on my Yankee hat
I swear upon my Yankee hat (a symbol of my gang and loyalty).

I'm a gangsta Crip, fuck gangsta rap
I'm a real gang member, not just pretending like most gangsta rappers.

Where the ladies at? Where the hoes? Where the bitches?
Where are the women at? All types of women (positive or negative) are welcome here.

Every real nigga know the difference
Every true gang member knows the difference (of types of women).

Bandana brown like the dope daddy shootin' in the kitchen
My brown bandana represents my gang, and my father used to cook drugs in the kitchen while wearing it.

Real Norfside nigga, never went to Poly, Wilson or Cabrillo
I'm a true gang member from the Northside of Long Beach, and I never went to any of those high schools (which are considered fake).

Cocaine color of a creole
The color of my car is like the color of cocaine, which is light brown like creole seasoning.

T-scrap movin' for the d-lo, what he know?
T-Scrap is out there making moves for drugs, what does he really know?

I ain't never ran from nothin' but the police
I never ran away from anything except for the police because they are dangerous and will harm us.

From the city where the skinny carry strong heat
In Long Beach, even skinny and small people carry powerful guns for protection.

Hit the corner, make a dollar, flip it
I can make some money by selling drugs on the street corner and flipping it for more profit.

Split the dollars wit' my mama children
I share the money I earn through drug dealing with my siblings and mother.

Folks need Porsches, hoes need abortions
People around here want expensive cars and women need abortions as a result of unintended pregnancy.

I just need y'all out of my business
I want to keep my private life and drug dealing business separate from you all.

Never no problem, playin' no pitches
I've never had any trouble with playing baseball, but I've had problems with shooting people.

Never no problem, sprayin' no witnesses
I've never had any trouble with killing people who could potentially inform the police of my illegal activities.

No face, no case, been wit' the shit
If we don't show our faces during crimes, there's no evidence against us. We've been involved in these activities for a long time.

Hopped out broad day then emptied clips
In broad daylight, we got out of our car and started shooting until our clips were empty.

Cut class 'cause it wasn't 'bout cash
I skipped school because it wasn't helping me earn money through drug dealing.

School wasn't no fun, couldn't bring my gun
School was boring and didn't let me bring my gun for protection.

Know a change gon' come like Obama an' them say
I believe that there will be a positive change in our society, as Obama promised.

But they shootin' everyday 'round my mama an' them way
Unfortunately, we are still surrounded by daily shootings and violence in our neighborhood where my mom and other family members live.

So we put a AK where Keon an' them stay
To protect ourselves and our families from danger, we placed an AK-47 gun where Keon lives and his friends live.

And that's for any nigga say he got a problem wit' me
If anyone has any problems with me, they better watch out, because I have powerful weapons to protect myself.

How I'm Crippin' where I'm livin', come and follow me
This is how I live my life as a Crip, and if you want to know more, come and follow me.

Pistol poppin', Poppy Street
We are shooting our guns on Poppy Street.

Nate Dogg still here 'cause of niggas like me
Nate Dogg, a famous musician, is still alive because of people who protect him, like me.

Police still scared 'cause of niggas like me
Police are afraid of us gang members, even me, because of our violent activities.

In the hood like a dollar sweet tea or a Louis Burger
I'm always in my neighborhood like a dollar sweet tea or a Louis Burger, which is a local restaurant.

You ain't wit' the business, nigga
If you're not part of my gang and criminal activities, then you're not really relevant to me.

Who you murdered? You ain't heard of Coldchain
Who have you killed? You're not even familiar with Coldchain, my gang.

Best thang, smokin' out the city
I'm the best thing out there, doing really well in this city.

Ridin' 'round wit' the same shotgun that shot Ricky
I'm driving around with the same gun that killed Ricky, which shows my power and dominance.

Lil' nigga should've zig-zagged, then he got his back wet
That little guy should have zigzagged to avoid the bullets, but he got shot in the back anyways.

Naughty runnin' Norfside, niggas better fact-check
My gang, Naughty, is well-known and powerful from the Norfside of Long Beach. Other people should verify this information.

Frontin' wit' the gun talk, I ain't heard a clap yet
You're just acting tough with your gun talk, but I haven't seen you actually shoot or make any noise.

All my niggas front street, they a nigga best, yes
My gang members are always out in front of our hangout spot, and they are the best gang members out there.

'Cept for Little Halftime, Brody bangin' five blocks
Except for Little Halftime, who patrols a smaller area, Brody is in charge of monitoring five city blocks.

So I hit your homie five times, better grab chalk
I shot your friend five times, so you better prepare to mourn and give him a proper burial.

Did it, got away with it out the Civic
I committed a crime and escaped in a Honda Civic (a common car model).

We Crippin', Long Beach City, pay a visit
We are proud Crips from Long Beach City, and we welcome you to come visit us.

Park Ramona, pop blocked a corner
We hang out and sell drugs near Park Ramona and blocked off one corner of the street.

Givin' hell 'til it's frozen over, I ain't never ran from nothin'
We will keep causing chaos until the end of time, and I promise I will never run away from anything.
