Roots - Episodes lyrics
rate me[voice in background]<br />
Yeah, you in tune to another episode in my area code<br />
All sorts of episodes in my area code<br />
Where the blocks explode, where the temperature is cold<br />
It's just an episode in my area code<br />
Another episode in my area code<br />
All sorts of episodes in my area code<br />
Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload<br />
I seen it unfold in my area code<br />
<br />
[The Jazzyfatnastees]<br />
Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
<br />
[Verse One: Black Thought]<br />
Just push the panic button on your remote control<br />
Then enter the zone where our patrollers will get round cold soul<br />
Diddly Bo leave her feelin a saga foretold<br />
Who got caught 'pon the block for gold, got the old heads froze<br />
They peepin outta closed windows<br />
They not secure as they supposed I watched it all unfold<br />
Witness another episode with titanic panoramic view<br />
As this manic-depressin un-load with his gun hold<br />
Wild like a son sold for cash<br />
Guns traded for sensi and hash, crack for ass<br />
Entire crews pass not makin the news flash<br />
Brews pass a memory and spark not to blast<br />
Whatever Ave. transform to the war path<br />
Pure wrath from North down to 24th and Task<br />
Game slaughter half, the niggas you were prayin with<br />
Streets tainted with camouflage - guerilla sabotage<br />
My cousin's Jarette and Todd, was livin type large<br />
Got caught then blast crashed off on Broad and Lombard<br />
So many so-called hearts scarred they buried in the yard<br />
Lick shots at Babylon de one comfy bombard<br />
Kids run far from traditional credit cards scams<br />
Veterans is nipped in the butt with large plans<br />
Stick up kids is jumpin outta plated Dodge Rams<br />
To jam, you and your man it's mad drama and -<br />
<br />
[Chorus: The Jazzyfatnastees + background voice]<br />
Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />

Yo, the episodes to my area code<br />
Just another episodes in my area code<br />
Where the blocks explode, where the temperature is cold<br />
It's just an episode in my area code<br />
All sorts of episodes in my area code<br />
Just another episode in my area code<br />
Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload<br />
I seen it unfold in my area code, check it<br />
<br />
[Verse Two: Dice Raw]<br />
This is for all of my niggaz, that are R.I.P.'s<br />
You ain't missin nothin, life ain't what it should be<br />
I'll pass across soon, who know who's the enemy<br />
Lots of shit has changed and it's kinda fucked up to see<br />
You remember Tauseen nigga thick slice of dream<br />
Go out fast for the buck do anything for the cream<br />
Never seen a case like this, although it's quite contageous<br />
He even got his little brother actin all outrageous<br />
From dusk to dawn, and from dawn back to dusk<br />
They do anything and everything, tryin to come up<br />
It's kinda sickenin, how the cash is so fuckin addicted<br />
And when I say son wild they say that that's conflicted<br />
Ain't nothin but a contradiction in this world we live in<br />
Cause the loot is for the takin, and not for the givin<br />
Then the youngest one, will say "I'ma die hustlin<br />
Fuck everybody except my brother who I'm trusted in"<br />
I guess the young boy just did not know the truth<br />
Cause the following week Tauseen threw him off the roof<br />
And sometimes I wonder what the fuck I think about that<br />
How nowadays kids get whacked for somethin less than a pat<br />
But I guess that's how it goes when there ain't no more rap<br />
Thought he was his brother's keeper, but fuck all that<br />
Niggaz causin mayhem, from the P.M.'s to A.M.'s<br />
America's worst nightmare -- guns in kids' hands<br />
<br />
[Chorus: The Jazzyfatnastees + background voice]<br />
Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
<br />
[background voice]<br />
.. in my area code<br />
It's another episode in my area code<br />
Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload<br />
I seen it unfold in my area code<br />
Just another episode in my area code<br />
All sorts of episodes in my area code<br />
Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload<br />
I seen it unfold in my area code, check it, yo<br />
<br />
[Verse Three: Malik B]<br />
It was the year of '84 I was tryin to get in the mix<br />
The year when niggaz rolled with sheepskins gazelles and kicks<br />
Even got the patent leather Adidas snatched off your feet<br />
Man that talk is cheap the crippled can't walk for weeks<br />
The first sto was word to Penn and Teller's<br />
Strolled in the dollar house parties; in search for Cinderella<br />
Was just a little man real bold<br />
Tryin to act grown and old so the respect'll be shown<br />
A hip-hop a little pop and the breakdancin<br />
When niggaz wore windbreakers plot to take lambskins<br />
Remember Zigglers? Uptown the bottom's not quite the same<br />
St. Charles in South Phil the ooh mob gang<br />
H-R-M Ogontz Ave. Brickyard to hollow<br />
Niggaz was snatchin gazzeles and flippin pockets for the dallo<br />
You wore your little wolf chain in West Oak Lane<br />
And niggaz from Logan came to extort we know the game<br />
You proclaim this gangster bullshit talk<br />
And never even seen your man shot, or bodies in chalk<br />
Aggravated assualt another weekend in the precinct<br />
Takin everybody for their ring man that's how we think<br />
Back then you catch a suckerpunch off guard<br />
Niggaz will pull your card, tryin to walk around all hard<br />
Niggaz quick to flip your pockets if you lip service<br />
When you see fifteen niggaz deep - with scully's get nervous<br />
It ain't no tellin what they could do to you<br />
So you clutch up, thinkin and knowin you gettin stuck up<br />
In another episode in my area code, episode in my area code<br />
<br />
[Chorus: The Jazzyfatnastees + background voice]<br />
Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
<br />
[background voice over last line of Verse Three onward]<br />
This another episode in my area code<br />
Episodes in my area code, yo<br />
Well this another episode<br />
Yeah, they in my area code<br />
Explode.. unload..<br />
Unfold in my area code<br />
Yeah, this in my area code<br />
Episodes in my area code<br />
Explode.. unload..<br />
Unfold in my area code<br />
Yeah<br />
<br />
[The Jazzyfatnastees]<br />
Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..<br />
Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..
