"Sound Of The Northside" lyrics
Sham I remember back when
Doin' homework was my only task then
Sitting down eating dinner with my dad still
Poking out his fake teeth, Mam's skittin' laughing
Straight out the door, used to hop over the bush
Dirt bikes in the green, tire marks by the foot
The bais brought a ball, so I play in the net
And I jump for the top 'cause I'd save it like Chezh
This scrawny kid wearing gloves too big
Scrappy little fella, built like a toothpick
It was a mad laugh, chillin' when it's nice out
No tops and a Nike cap till it's lights out
Knocknaheeny resident, got street intelligence
The people round here can put ya to shame
There's no equivalent, speak with no ignorance
Got ya gobsmacked like a hook to your face
What is the sound of the northside? WHAT?
Who keeps it loud in the northside? WHO?
Always stay proud of the northside!
YUP YUP YUP YUP EYYYYYY
That's how we do it in Cork
That's how we do it in Cork, kid
That's how we do it in Cork
That's how we do it in Cork, kid
What's the craic, kid? I'm pulling skids in the chair
Everyday live with no fear
I'm a local celebrity, you'll never get me out of here now
That's my community, the people that I care 'bout
Farranree, Nash's Boreen
Fairhill, Fairfield, this feen's on the scene
On the green when the sun's out, get the guns out
When they see the wheels coming, the neighbours run down
For a knuckle touch, don't be talking double Dutch
Be straight up or get a belt of my knuckle dust
Be sound, 'cause I'm the boss man
You don't wanna get tire marks on your socks, man
Even in a chair, I run the place
And the shades know the Norries, they love the blaze
On Bonna night, it's like a northside festival
So yours better be wheelchair accessible
What is the sound of the northside? WHAT?
Who keeps it loud in the northside? WHO?
Always stay proud of the northside!
YUP YUP YUP YUP EYYYYYY
That's how we do it in Cork
That's how we do it in Cork, kid
That's how we do it in Cork
That's how we do it in Cork, kid
Younger days, wish I could rewind time and go back to
Younger days, wish I could rewind time
Not a care in the world, just livin' life easy
Couple a cailíní in Knocknaheeny
That's me in the bucket hat
Get a slushy from the shop, giza suppa dat
So hot that I'm wearing my flip-flops
Got a speaker blarin' some Misneach
With Brooke just chillin', makin' TikToks
All I want is my hurley and some hip hop
I be causing a scene like Canty with the crew
On set, these lights are fancy
I love the camera though, so that's handy
Saying cheese — point it at me
Don't doubt me 'cause I'm small biy
Wish I could be in the Kabin, rappin' all night
Gotta be in bed by 9, but it's alright
'Cause I get to wake up again
In the northside
In the northside
In the northside
What is the sound of the northside? WHAT?
Who keeps it loud in the northside? WHO?
Always stay proud of the northside!
YUP YUP YUP YUP EYYYYYY
