MARCO POLO & TORAE - Coney Island lyrics

rate me

(I was born and raised in the slums of every city)

(I was born and raised in the slums of every city)

(I was born and raised in the slums...)

Coney Island, Coney Island

(... of every city)

Yo

It ain't gon get more hood or get more slum

Than 23rd and Mermaid, that's where I'm from

And even though the beach and board walk is fun

Come seven blocks past Nathan's, you're done

Neptune and Surf, murder made the worst

Niggas came in Benzes, left in a hearse

And if they spare your life, your jewels and your cash

You're dispersed, biz know CI niggas thirst

You prolly think it's all beach and amusement park

You would be a fool to peruse after dark

You will see the tool comin through Kaiser Park

Cause late night niggas dig graves, and it's comp then

Blazin is nothin, niggas came through beefin

Got clapped and left at the precint

Now I ain't sayin it is right or is decent

But what it is is real and that's why I speak it

Nigga, I'm a native New Yorker

Coney Isle made me the greatest of authors

The greatest shit talkers

The beachcombin, boardwalkin stalkers

Y'all niggas gased by The Warriors

Well, it ain't no Cyrus here

Niggas do crimes, it ain't no sirens there

Niggas do time and don't nobody care

How we gon cry, that's a no sign affair, nobody tears

We heartless, nigga, raised in the pits

Where you will catch charges before you catch with a mitt

Where you catch bodies or react from a hit

And catch the nigga who did it and clap at his wis'

Niggas more prone to get clapped from a chick

Than get a good job and look after his kids

I know it's foul but reality is

That I'm from Coney Isle and that's what it is

They say it's all good in the hood - nah, misconception

Niggas in the hood suffer from a misdirection

They care more how a nigga rims reflectin

Than care about who gon win the election

If QU is hectic, then CI on some next shit

Prodigy and Hav got the message

The kids is reckless, projects, homes infested

And no, can't shit correct it

(I was born and raised in the slums of every city)

(I was born and raised in the slums of every city)

(I was born and raised in the slums of every city)

(I was born and raised in the slums of every city)
