11 AM IN LONG ISLAND Lyrics

I was 15 with big dreams, but empty pockets

Blasting illmatic, and trying to escape the projects

On a paper chase, she said "wake up bae"

Today is the day, you face your problems

Instead of trying not to solve em

I'm just a nigga, trying to make a livin

Trying to talk to the children

But they addicted to killing

What is the future

Truth is, nobody cares until somebody shoots ya

Medusa couldn't turn me into stone

Like Mansa musa, I'm giving gold in these poems

And Like a cougar, I roam the night and prey on my

Foes

I Need some closure, I be confused, and paranoid

Got the Mac, by my back, Waiting by the window

Smoking indo, itching cuz these tricks won't leave me alone

Cops on my back, a shot of jack will ease the pain

I remember studying every word that STEEZY Said

She left me with a heavy heart

It hurts, when they dip, after you showed them ya deepest scars

On god, went from rent, to my own front lawn

Often my father was offering peace offerings

Youngsters already out here doing coffin shopping

With the pen in my hand, I defend the hearts of Men

Look again, another simpleton is lost in the wind

Niggaz hate what they can't comprehend

I jus gotta outta church, aww man I'm sinning again

My lil white girl, got me smiling

Go to sleep with no stress

Paranoid out my mind so I reside next to a tec

Young, gifted and black, I spit that unfamiliar

Lord don't let me be misunderstood

Cuz I'm nun without my Nina

Giving speeches that kill

Jumping niggaz in the dark, like the shield

Shit is real
