11:35 lyrics

Artist  : Aesop Rock 
Song : 11:35



 Send "11:35" Ringtone to your Cell 

 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 shit went
down



[Aesop Rock]

Now Benny was a New York City graph(?)
kingpin

Five Borough fame guaranteed to itch pigskin

Raided near the Brooklyn Naval yard, ?
undercover

When they asked him what he pled he said,
"You're fuckin' up my colors!"



[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 immigrant, that's the American
Dream



[Aesop Rock]

Miss Molly, helpless, made a penny with a data
entry temp gig

Overqualified with the rent stick

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 coke fiend

[Mr. Lif]

Maggie 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 locked

[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 him 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

Then 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 fuck

Bum touched girls looking young enough to thumb
suck

One sought the light thought it right to rat him
out

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



[Mr. Lif]

Ted did 20 years for rolling some weed

Though he used to snort coke and dabble with
speed

Welcome home, homie, here's a blunt with hash

You know the rules, bitch, 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 shit 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, wild

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 skipped when shit cracks

They never missed it

Not a long haul, bullshit, kids kicked into the
same

Shoebox with the flicks and lipstick

I'll love you forever, cuz you know me better

For the record, that one time I would've married
you in a second

But kill the rekindling dreams and navigate the
friendship

Or else by the time the stress wears out we'll
both be dead and friendless
