Once upon a time in the projects yo
I damn near had to wreck a hoe
Yellin through the screen do’ (HEY, let me in!)
(Big Daddy got a fifth of gin, and down to sin)
Baby up in two-ten, is on a nigga
Bendin over pickin up her mail, she can tell I’m dyin to get her
I’m sittin in yo’ livin room, slash kitchen
A nigga ain’t tryin to be the fuckin groom so stop bitchin
[knock knock knock] I like the way that ass is switchin, answer the do’
Some nigga in a eighty-kay, yo’ baby daddy
lookin like he mad at me (what) wit’cho name on his neck
Here we go with mo’ drama in the projects
Wait a minute, who is this motherfucker?
You better take his ass in the back, and start talkin
Nick that bud ‘fore it bloom, and start stalkin
I can hear you guys yellin [glass breaks] a little strugglin
Youse a FOOL if you think that I’m jumpin in
That nigga jet, smokin on a ciggarette
You say domestic shit, get you soakin wet?
Well come widdit and get it, blow my socks
while I’m drinkin all the Kool-Aid, watchin Jamie Foxx
I’m hearin mo’ knocks [knock knock knock]
(Oh, that’s just my people
They came all the way to the projects to meet you) Who?
This fool wearin black, his girl, in the see through
Distraction, a little action, [fight ensues] I woke up
Tied up like (What happened? Punk you shoulda stuck to rappin
Niggaz tell me you got a house full of platinum..
Where the platinum at motherfucker?
I hear that shit worth more than gold!)
Wait a minute motherfucker, this my house!
Once upon a time in the projects [3X]
Once upon a time, once upon a time
I’m like baffled, they got me gaffled, with the duct tape
So I remain raw, in come this chainsaw [knock knock knock]
Another knock, it’s the girl from two-ten
here to drop salt, that’s when them bitches fought
I thought, "I bet-ta plan my escape"
In the midst of this commotion, Ice Cube is breakin tape
I’m free, bombin on the first thing I see
And guess who walk in, with a nine, and a grin
It’s the baby daddy he ain’t playin, [gunshots]
He started layin everybody down, about face with a frown
I’m runnin to the bedroom, I lock the do’
and grab the phone, the bitch phone ain’t turned on
I think I’m gone, that’s when I hear a soft knock
It’s the girl from two-ten, with her number, and a glock
Said, "Call me up, if it’s for sex, or chin check
Nigga get you a real ass bitch from the projects!"
And I just might do that
Once upon a time in the projects [3X]
Once upon a time, once upon a time
