[Intro 1]
[G][C]
[G]
[F]Just another [G]area For

[Verse 1]
me to patrol
Just another [F]area
That [C]shows I got [G]soul
Just another area
For me to patrol
Just another area
That shows I got soul
I got [C]soul you see, I'm [G]swimming in

[Verse 2]
the De La
I'm in my [C]hood man,
my manhood [G]worries ya
[C]I'm known for sampling of soul food
Off [G]the old school plates
When [C]I met up with my
[G]niggas from the [C]7- 1- 8
One the Jungle Bro,
[Gm]the other Questas from [G]Queens
Yet I [C]had the matrix [G]of the 516 in my [C]genes
So I sided with my funk
to bring my [G]second on call
For me and [C]the Sheep,
our [G]mission's on the beach of 804
[C](You're runnin' on an empty [G]tank)
But still get paid in full
(And get [C]the girls)
Man, I'm packing gravit[Gm]ational pull
[C]Bring the instamatic avalanche,
[G]my code interve[C]nes
I'm out to scout [G]the areas
that remains to be seen
(What?)
Well, [C]many many digits had me

[Verse 3]
[G]
seeking in my Wizard
Man, who's ringing up
my area (ooh) oh!
[C]I used to sho[G]e it to the bridge
but that's gone
Like [C]the 7- 1- 8's out [G]of Vietnam
[C]Sniffin' skypagers had [G]me drugged
[C](Man, I knew a psy[G]cho)
7- 0- 3's on my love [C]bug
I made mates with the
[G]brothers up [C]in 2- 1- 5
[G]Crazy buddhas in my mind
My [C]Chattanooga champs had
me [G]late for the camp
[C]And my 2- 0- 2 keeps [G]me marvelous
[C]I guess Mars was my hid[G]eaway
But if the stars for a [C]getaway
Since I'm capable I [G]conjure up the

[Verse 4]
[Gm]
walkin' this [G]way
I slip a [C]syllable for Aspen and
a [G]Chester soufflé
[C]I be the 919 seeker,
[Gm]cause ain't off le[G]git
So when I'm [C]with my crew I
[G]always have a place to sit
Due to this,
a brother tries to play me
(Yeah, like one [C]in 5- 1- 4)
Yo, some kid tried to [G]flip on me
[F]They instigate[C]d a brawl
(So we [Gm]set our knuckles [G]on
stun and [C]made them all [Gm]fall)
Then [F]I just laughed
[G](Ha[F] ha ha ha ha ha)
(We whooped that [C]as s)
And put the feelings [G]aside, I know who [F]I am
I [C]cashed the grain by the [Gm]pound
I [F]make sounds [C]with the horn
[G]When I color the corn, caught the[C] fit
And sit the [G]two when honey
slung the tip
Well I'm [C]taking my [G]funds to the

[Verse 5]
3- 0- 1's
And Im [C]playing my [G]flute in
[C]the rear kibbut
My man from [G]the 9- 0- 8, he don't
like it like [C]that
So I [G]pipes till the sunshine hikes
A [C]kettle of our master [G]plan makes
the Malibu [C]idol
(God for[G]give me) Well, it's a hook
The [C]third to the 0 to [G]the
5 had top feel the vi[C]be
When [G]the 5- 1- 6 played con[C]victs

[Verse 6]
The man Maseo is here [G]to put
the habit along
And what you [C]have,
I'm 'bout to speak about your [G]area code
[C]Is it [G]9- [C]0- 8? (No)
[G]Is it [C]2- 1- 2? (No)
[G]Speakin' on 4- 0- 4? (Hell no)
What [C]about 5- 1- 6? (I dunno)
What is [G]it? (Not tellin' ya)
What [C]is it? [G](Not [C]tellin' ya)
What [G]is it? (Not tellin' ya)
What [C]is [G]it? (Not[F#m]
[C]tellin' ya)
(Huh? What?)
Just another [G]area for

[Verse 7]
me to patrol
I got [C]status cause I'm baddest
with [G]the paint
Giving upside [C]down frowns
[G]to London when 7- 0- 3
Her [C]moms didn't [G]like it, I had to let be
For [C]the fact I lays [G]bricks
Cause my [F#m]semen ends with the letter [G]T
My seed [F#m]is hard to submerge
[G]I play the tack in the wall if my
rear's not watched
[C]Cause some knuckle [G]might
just head for the urge
But I [G]got Prince Paul in the Area
(Oh, it's like that now)
[C]I got Hot Dog in the [G]Area
(Heh heh heh)
I [C]got the Viol[G]ators in the area (Aaah)
I got the Violators in
[G]the area [C](Aaah)
It don't matter where you hide,
I [Gm]clear up the fall
[G]Cop the[C] fuck outta here,
you [G]fake- ass fraud
Clear my area

[Verse 8]
(I'm going home [G]now,
I have been up all night.)
(I been up all night,
it's still [G]Friday to me.)
(Come on now. Hey,
Ellory, I'm going home!)
(Bob to the bob, d- dang,
d- dang diggy- diggy)
