[00:00.83]Area - De La Soul
[00:10.84]Just another area

[00:14.61]That shows I got soul
[00:15.94]Just another area
[00:17.13]For me to patrol
[00:18.32]Just another area
[00:19.58]That shows I got soul
[00:20.84]I got soul you see I'm swimming in the De La
[00:23.36]I'm in my hood man my manhood worries ya
[00:25.82]I'm known for sampling of soul food
[00:27.83]Off the old school plates
[00:28.77]When I met up with my *****s from the 718
[00:31.04]One the Jungle Bro the other Questers from Queens
[00:33.37]Yet I had the matrix of the 516 in my jeans
[00:36.29]Still I sided with my funk to bring my second on call
[00:38.81]For me and the Sheep our mission's on the beach of 804
[00:41.70]You're runnin' on an empty tank
[00:42.90]But still get paid in full
[00:44.16]And get the girls
[00:45.04]Man I'm packing gravitational pull
[00:46.49]Bring the instamatic avalanche my code intervenes
[00:48.12]I'm out to scout the areas that remains to be seen
[00:51.85]What
[00:52.29]Well many many digits had me seeking in my Wizard
[00:54.62]Man who's ringing up my area ooh oh
[00:56.64]I used to shoe it to the bridge but that's gone
[00:59.65]Like the 718's out of Vietnam
[01:02.23]Sniffin' skypagers had me drugged
[01:03.69]Man I knew a psycho
[01:04.87]703's on my love bug
[01:07.33]I made mates with the brothers up in 215
[01:10.35]Crazy buddhas in my mind
[01:12.36]My Chattanooga champ had me late for the camp
[01:15.07]And my 202 keeps me marvellous
[01:17.84]I guess Mars was my hideaway
[01:20.10]But if the stars for a getaway
[01:22.69]Since I'm capable I conjure up a walk in this way
[01:25.26]I slip a syllable for Aspen and a Chester souffle
[01:27.85]I be the 919 seeker 'cause ain't off logic
[01:30.51]So when I'm with my crew I always have a place to sit
[01:33.27]Due to this a brother tries to play me
[01:35.60]Yeah like one in 514
[01:36.61]Yo some kid tried to flip on me
[01:38.38]They instigated a brawl
[01:39.45]So we set our knuckles on stun and made them all fall
[01:42.29]Then I just laughed
[01:43.55]Ha ha ha ha ha ha
[01:45.82]We whooped that ***
[01:46.94]And put the feelings aside I know who I am
[01:49.02]I cast the grain by the pound
[01:50.72]I make sounds with the horn
[01:51.92]When I colour the corn caught the fit
[01:54.45]And sit the two when honey slung the tip
[01:56.53]Well I'm taking my finds to the 301's
[01:58.86]And Im playing my flute in the rear kibbut
[02:01.24]My man from the 908's he don't like it like that
[02:03.88]So I pipes till the sunshine hikes
[02:06.59]A kettle of our master plan makes a Malibu idol
[02:10.25]God forgive me Well it's a hook
[02:11.96]The third to the 0 to the 5 had top feel the vibe
[02:14.99]When the 516 played convicts
[02:16.06]The man Maseo is here to put the habit along
[02:19.36]And what you have I'm 'bout to speak about your area code
[02:21.93]Is it 918 No

[02:47.32]Giving upside down frowns to London wood 703
[02:50.28]Her moms didn't like it I had to let be
[02:52.61]For the fact I lays bricks
[02:54.18]Cause my semen ends with the letter T
[02:56.57]My seed is hard to submerge
[02:58.02]I play the tack in the wall if my rear's not watched
[03:00.69]'Cause some knuckle might just head for the urge
