THE ROOTS

THE ROOTS - Episodes lyrics

Yeah, you in tune to another episode in my area code

All sorts of episodes in my area code

Where the blocks explode, where the temperature is cold

It's just an episode in my area code

Another episode in my area code

All sorts of episodes in my area code

Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload

I seen it unfold in my area code

Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

Just push the panic button on your remote control

Then enter the zone where our patrollers will get round cold soul

Diddly Bo leave her feelin a saga foretold

Who got caught 'pon the block for gold, got the old heads froze

They peepin outta closed windows

They not secure as they supposed I watched it all unfold

Witness another episode with titanic panoramic view

as this manic-depressin un-load with his gun hold

Wild like a son sold for cash

Guns traded for sensi and hash, crack for ass

Entire crews pass not makin the news flash

Brews pass a memory and spark not to blast

Whatever Ave. transform to the war path

Pure wrath from North down to 24th and Task

Game slaughter half, the niggas you were prayin with

Streets tainted with camouflage - guerilla sabotage

My cousin's Jarette and Todd, was livin type large

Got caught then blast crashed off on Broad and Lombard

So many so-called hearts scarred they buried in the yard

Lick shots at Babylon de one comfy bombard

Kids run far from traditional credit cards scams

Veterans is nipped in the butt with large plans

Stick up kids is jumpin outta plated Dodge Rams

to jam, you and your man it's mad drama and -

Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

Yo, the episodes to my area code

Just another episodes in my area code

Where the blocks explode, where the temperature is cold

It's just an episode in my area code

All sorts of episodes in my area code

Just another episode in my area code

Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload

I seen it unfold in my area code, check it

This is for all of my niggaz, that are R.I.P.'s

You ain't missin nothin, life ain't what it should be

I'll pass across soon, who know who's the enemy

Lots of shit has changed and it's kinda fucked up to see

You remember Tauseen nigga thick slice of dream

Go out fast for the buck do anything for the cream

Never seen a case like this, although it's quite contageous

He even got his little brother actin all outrageous

From dusk to dawn, and from dawn back to dusk

They do anything and everything, tryin to come up

It's kinda sickenin, how the cash is so fuckin addicted

And when I say son wild they say that that's conflicted

Ain't nothin but a contradiction in this world we live in

Cause the loot is for the takin, and not for the givin

Then the youngest one, will say "I'ma die hustlin

Fuck everybody except my brother who I'm trusted in"

I guess the young boy just did not know the truth

Cause the following week Tauseen threw him off the roof

And sometimes I wonder what the fuck I think about that

How nowadays kids get whacked for somethin less than a pat

But I guess that's how it goes when there ain't no more rap

Thought he was his brother's keeper, but fuck all that

Niggaz causin mayhem, from the P.M.'s to A.M.'s

America's worst nightmare -- guns in kids' hands

Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

.. in my area code

It's another episode in my area code

Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload

I seen it unfold in my area code

Just another episode in my area code

All sorts of episodes in my area code

Where the blocks explode, ?? back and unload

I seen it unfold in my area code, check it, yo

It was the year of '84 I was tryin to get in the mix

The year when niggaz rolled with sheepskins gazelles and kicks

Even got the patent leather Adidas snatched off your feet

Man that talk is cheap the crippled can't walk for weeks

The first sto was word to Penn and Teller's

Strolled in the dollar house parties; in search for Cinderella

Was just a little man real bold

Tryin to act grown and old so the respect'll be shown

A hip-hop a little pop and the breakdancin

When niggaz wore windbreakers plot to take lambskins

Remember Zigglers? Uptown the bottom's not quite the same

St. Charles in South Phil the ooh mob gang

H-R-M Ogontz Ave. Brickyard to hollow

Niggaz was snatchin gazzeles and flippin pockets for the dallo

You wore your little wolf chain in West Oak Lane

And niggaz from Logan came to extort we know the game

You proclaim this gangster bullshit talk

And never even seen your man shot, or bodies in chalk

Aggravated assualt another weekend in the precinct

Takin everybody for their ring man that's how we think

Back then you catch a suckerpunch off guard

Niggaz will pull your card, tryin to walk around all hard

Niggaz quick to flip your pockets if you lip service

When you see fifteen niggaz deep - with scully's get nervous

It ain't no tellin what they could do to you

So you clutch up, thinkin and knowin you gettin stuck up

in another episode in my area code, episode in my area code

Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

This another episode in my area code

Episodes in my area code, yo

Well this another episode

Yeah, they in my area code

Explode.. unload..

Unfold in my area code

Yeah, this in my area code

Episodes in my area code

Explode.. unload..

Unfold in my area code

Yeah

Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

You won't believe the site you see before your eyes..

Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..
