AESOP ROCK lyrics : "11:35"

(feat. Mr. Lif)

Some cats grow by the laws of the wild

Some learn slower and lag in the mud
Some stand up in defense of a style
Some let the big dogs eat them up

At exactly 11:35pm on January 21st I fell asleep sound
At exactly 11:35pm on Januray 21st some %#@! went down


[Aesop Rock]
Now Benny was a New York City crime kingpin
Five girl, fame, guaranteed to itch pigskin

Raided near the Brooklyn Naval yard, ? undercover
When they asked him what he pled he said, "You're $#&@in' up my color!"


[Mr. Lif]
Okay, Jose is working in the slaughterhouse
Said he's living in the hood, but he wants to get his daughter out

Slipped off a ledge, and fell into a machine
Another dead immagrant, that's the American Dream


[Aesop Rock]
Miss Molly, helpless, made a penny with a data entry temp gig
Overqualified by the rent sticks

Red brick bash with a texted green screen
Like, "I entered my data right into your screen"


[Mr. Lif]
Jane went insane, she's an anchorwoman
Sick of pusing skewed information

And abusing the nation
Had a few options:
Either jump or run

Critical ways or waving a gun
Time for C-H-A-N-G-E
Held a knife to the VP on TV

She demanded that the format be expanded
Beyond fair, everybody clear, understand it?


[Aesop Rock]
Billy was a !@%!e fiend
[Mr. Lif]

Maggy was a cop
[Aesop Rock]
Like a dope he stole green

[Mr. Lif]
She patroled the block
[Aesop Rock]

Banking off his old scheme
[Mr. Lif]
She recognized his plot

[Aesop Rock]
He thought he was home free
[Mr. Lif]

She knew that he was not
[Aesop Rock]
Now it's off to the jail in a blue squad car

[Mr. Lif]
She pocketed the crack before they got far
[Aesop Rock]

Billy watches Maggy from behind steel bars
Like "Where the crack went?"
[Mr. Lif]

"I'ma smoke it tomorrah"

[Aesop Rock]

They call him Larry Luck
Blackjack, big spender
He was married once

Till he bet her ring finger
Seen leaving Las Vegas
With a pick up truck, diamond

Fourty large, and beautiful wife piece
Than what he came with
Itched to get rich found nickels in the couch

Hitched back to the casino with in an hour
Said "I'm here to make a dollar out of fifteen cents"
And was immediately shot to his death over debts

[Mr. Lif]

As Colin died, his mother cried
By the EMS survived
Said that he could be revived but they lied
Afterlife realized that water from the skies
Washes pain from our eyes so our hopes could rise


[Aesop Rock]
Now, J.J. punch drunk, acts like a dumb $#&@
Bum touched girls looking young enough to thumb suck
Once sought a life thought it right to write about

Now gets raped by aryans in the big house (OUCH!)

[Mr. Lif]
Ted did 20 years for growing some weed
Though he used to snort !@%!e and dabble with speed

Welcome home, homie, here's a blunt with that
You know the rules, (*##$, take two and pass

Some cats grow by the laws of the wild
Some learn slower and lag in the mud
Some stand up in defense of a style

Some let the big dogs eat them up
At exactly 11:35pm on January 21st I fell asleep sound
At exactly 11:35pm on Januray 21st some %#@! went down

[Aesop Rock]
I got one Jack or Jill
Jill won't, Jack will

Jill didn't, then did it
Jack fell
No cellophane secrets, b
I guess I sense two felt bumps in the tar
No cell
But hell, you jump the bar so well
Parted your partners veil and dipped

I'm New York harbor
Tale of a sail, ripped sorta
Stuck on purpose for tha love of birthplace
But would have carried you home inside of my teeth anyday
Turns out I wasn't cast in the master plan anyway
He holds no grudge, holds his tongue, wow
Same one she used to hold in both smiles

? instinctual last shout if it killed me
So you can ride up in the sun city guilt-free
One year passed, the table is wobbling and your hollerin' back
Sippin the fits you skip when %#@! cracks
They never missed it
Not a long haul, bull%#@!, kids kicked into the sink
Shoebox, with a flicks of lipstick

I'll love you forever, cuz you know me better
For the record, at one time, would have married you in a second
But killed all our kindling dreams, and never get the friendship
Or else by the time the stress wears out we'll both be dead and friendless
