Life in the Projects

歌詞

Get your money, man, it's hard out there It's hard, hard out there, dogg What, yeah, huh Life life life life life Get yours, get yours, get yours Shootin' dice all night with a couple of G's Dust off my knees, twist my cap and breeze Jump in the six-four, sittin' on D Spit a few caps at my enemies Please, freeze, there's a new sheriff in town Livin' in the projects, Dogg Pound Pound No father figure, just gangbang niggas 'Cause they give it up quicker and they learn to pull the trigger Our role models on TV But most of us ain't got a TV, you feel me? Shit, Michael Jordan don't come through I bet that nigga get the money when it's time to sell his shoe I'm telling you, I ain't puttin' him down 'Cause I love him to death but I ain't ever seen him in my town But you could see Snoop Dogg everyday I'm boss to the blocks like the projects in the PJ's Yeah, for those of you who don't know This is the land of the scandalous and cut throats Child support: that's unheard of Number one crime in the motherfucker: murder Ya heard me? Hmm, I'ma stay down For the get down, from a puppy to the big dogg Put that on the penthouse Life in the projects, bang, bang, pow, pow Is how it sounds Life in the projects Where it's hard to get by But you gotta 'cause your spot's gettin' hotter Life in the projects Where grass is cheese and cheese is power Life in the projects Where you got to have the will to know how Know how to do what? Survive Life in the projects You got to get yours 'cause I'ma get mine Life in the projects, goodness grief Everybody waitin' on the 1st and 15th The police man is tryin' to get atcha Catcha, snatcha, open up your fridge Nuttin' lookin' back atcha So you open up your freezer and say 'God, please' I wish we had some more of this some government cheese I'm duckin' buckshots, see, walkin' on my knees Ain't no trees, the grass ain't green And when I say it's all bad, you know what I mean There's one in every family. What? A fiend And a basketball star with no team, no dreams Remember Good Times? JJ and Michael? And all the lil' things they went through despite Nobody in the projects gave a fuck Ain't no good, it's all bad luck, shucks, shoppin' poppin' Back up on all the scene, from the George Down, PJ's, Cali or projects And the Cabrini Greens, my niggas get wild on they ass We like to pow-pow on they ass Here's a toast to the coast, so take a blast From the projects to the upper deck, upper class A long way from where I come from I know where I'm at, nigga, I can't forget where I came from Life in the projects Where it's hard to get by But you gotta 'cause your spot's gettin' hotter Life in the projects Where grass is cheese and cheese is power Life in the projects Where you got to have the will to know how Know how to do what? Survive Life in the projects You got to get yours 'cause I'ma get mine Life in the projects Life in the projects Life in the projects Life in the projects ...
