North Throne
Kendrick Lamar

[Verse 1]
Oh Canada, where they cut through the cold with precision,
Maple leaf, but it's blood-red with ambition, not a fiction.
Americans boast big, but we the northern sword,
Carve through the bullshit, y'all just internet lords.
Grit in our veins run deeper, watch how we maneuver,
Ice in our hearts, built stronger, ain't no rumor.
You flex with your fireworks, we ignite auroras in the night,
Harder spirits in our frost, y'all too soft in the light.
You got gun laws that misfire, we got minds sharper than steel,
Your talk shows and fast foods, ain't nothing bout that real.
Rest in the North, where the wolves howl at the moon,
Y'all chasing dreams of fame, we inherit the throne soon.
From the Rockies to the Maritimes, we reignite the sun,
Turn the heat up with our skill, no need for a gun.
Snow falls, but our sails never cease to flow,
Built harder up here, what y'all know about battle zones?
Frostbite in our soul, iron in our will,
America, all the glitter, but they lack that real kill.

[Chorus]
We stand in the cold, ain't breaking a sweat,
True North strong, y'all ain't real threats.
You boast and you brag, but here’s the deal,
Canadians built harder, we ain't gotta flex for real.

[Verse 2]
Tim Horton nights, plotting empires in our mind,
Quebec streets whisper secrets, kinda hard to find.
Americans lightweight, diet in their resistance,
Up here, we trade shots, engage with persistence.
Your flash on the gram, our struggle too legit to post,
Wanna talk about guns? Yeah, we got wolves the most.
Welfare state but wealth of heart and intellect,
While you numbed by fame, we rise, no disrespect.
From Drake in the six to Ryan in the films,
We're deeper in our art, filling minds to the brim.
National pride ain't just a flag, it's a path we blaze,
From the Sioux to Eskimo, all warriors in our ways.
Unregistered in your database of greatness,
Invisible until we strike with sinister lateness.
Grit and grind, from the ice to the vine,
Y'all stay strung out, getting drunk off the shine.
Atlas can't carry the weight we shoulder daily,
From the prairies to the tundra, we conquer so bravely.

[Chorus]
We stand in the cold, ain't breaking a sweat,
True North strong, y'all ain't real threats.
You boast and you brag, but here’s the real,
Canadians built harder, we ain't gotta flex for real.

[Outro]
From the North we rise, demolition through precision,
Americans stay blind in their self-made prisons.
Timber by timber, we stack to the crown—check the harvest,
Canadians built harder—take a seat, beg your pardon.
