Episodes Lyrics - Illadelph Halflife - The Roots

[voice in background] 

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 

[The Jazzyfatnastees] 

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.

Can You Guess The Song By The Emojis? 

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Cardi B Join James Corden For Carpool Karaoke 

[Verse One: Black Thought] 

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 -

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 

[Verse Two: Dice Raw] 

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 

[Chorus: The Jazzyfatnastees + background voice] 

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.

[Verse Three: Malik B] 

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 

[Chorus: The Jazzyfatnastees + background voice] 

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. 

[background voice over last line of Verse Three onward]
