[Verse One: Black Thought] Just push the panic bu*ton 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 a** Entire crews pa** not makin the news flash Brews pa** 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 n***as 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 bu*t with large plans Stick up kids is jumpin outta plated Dodge Rams to jam, you and your man it's mad drama and - [Chorus: The Jazzyfatnastees + background voice] Better believe it.. cause it is co-min..

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 n***az was snatchin gazzeles and flippin pockets for the dallo You wore your little wolf chain in West Oak Lane And n***az from Logan came to extort we know the game You proclaim this gangster bullsh** talk And never even seen your man shot, or bodies in chalk Aggravated a**ualt another weekend in the precinct Takin everybody for their ring man that's how we think Back then you catch a s**erpunch off guard n***az will pull your card, tryin to walk around all hard n***az quick to flip your pockets if you lip service When you see fifteen n***az 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..
