Northern Lights

[Verse 1]
Up North, we ain't playin', watch the avalanche fall
Dissed America so hard, y'all need a Tylenol
Red, white, and blue? Nah, we rock the maple leaf
Rollin' with the squad, bringin' pain like a grizzly's teeth
You got Wall Street greed, we got mounties and peace
Drake's servin' bars colder than your winter streets
America flexin', but it's all a mirage
From up here, we're watchin' your crumblin' façade
Healthcare for all, y'all can't even grasp
It’s like you chokin' on democracy, can't unclasp
Your schools got shooters, ours got futures
We're ice cold, hit harder than your losers
While you're fallin' apart, we're steady, ever lastin’
Buildin' up our cities, while yours they're trespassin'
Keep poppin' them pills, opioids your thrill
We keep it chill, natural high, what's the deal?
Northern Exposure, heat keepin' you frozen
You kings of chaos, while peace we have chosen

[Verse 2]
Let's talk about freedom, you got stakes in the heart
Locked up all your people, but can't break them apart
Statistic scenarios, it's tyranny in stereo
Land of the free? Naw, land of the burial
While you chase the American Dream that's broken
We'll be here laughin', maple syrup smokin'
We're clean with crime rates lower than ever
Your people dyin' young, victims of endeavour
Hollywood delusions, sellin' false hope
While you hangin' on the edge, here's your slippery slope
Flint still thirsty, who’s checkin' on the pipes?
Your system’s rigged, while ours is takin' flight
You rap about struggle, try livin' in the cold
Snow blanketing truth, stories unfold
Dollars on fire, corruption in the floor
While we up in the north, foundations secure

[Verse 3]
Your politics dirty, real sketchy like vandals
We steady burnin’ hot, give ya all a few candles
Police brutality, your streets is war zones
Our unity's a fortress, no drones to condone
You're torn from the inside, screams fallin' silent
We move like glaciers, solemn and giant
Kendrick in the mind, Mac in the soul
Drake with the delivery, takin' full control
You sellin' corruption, profiting from pain
Maple leaf warriors withstand the hurricane
We fortify the north, keepin' it pristine
Gunna rain on your parade, tappin' the kegs clean
From Niagara falls to the great tundra plains
Our flags wave stronger, untainted by your stains
Your culture's fragmented, ours intertwined
Enlightenment rises, darkness declined

[Verse 4]
Fallin' down on your knees prayin' for some saviors
Our people's faith runs deep, true candor behaviors
Racism rampant, your society blind
Our colors blend seamlessly, humanity aligned
You got the guns, but never got the brains
We got the pucks, skatin' circles around lanes
Natural resources, you're bleedin' us dry
Exploiting earth's gifts, watchin' species die
Seeds of unity planted on Canadian soil
While your land scorched, bound to turmoil
Our oceans protected, your lakes a dump
This diss one's for the books, America slump
Tap into the northern lights, feelin' the zen
While you wrestle demons, tryin' to comprehend
Stacked with double entendres, y’all still sound hollow
This Canada's rose, even late night shall follow

[Verse 5]
So now I close the book, brush the snow from my shoulder
Your empire's crumblin', 'cause our wisdom is older
Envy runs deep, you can't copy the form
While we elevate, in the freshest of norms
Final shots fired, no need to reload
This battle’s immortal, etched on our code
Sensations worldwide, the North's takin' hold
America's tale, now bitter and cold
We've sailed through the storms, emerged ever bright
Canada's legacy, a beacon in the night
This track's the epitaph, your reign it has ceased
Drake signed and sealed it, with rhymes released
And while you grapple with the truths I expose
Canada stands strong, in a world it knows
Land of hope, land of grace, our unity tight
America, you’ve been served, by the Northern Lights
