[Intro]
|
[Thurgood of PJ's]
|
Yeah, get up, get down
|
That's what P Funk say
|
|
[Snoop]
|
Get your money man, it's hard out there
|
It's hard out there, dogg
|
What, yeah, huh
|
Get yours, get yours, get yours
|
|
Shootin' dice on length with a couple of G's
|
Dust off my knees, twist off my cap and breathe
|
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 nigga
|
Cuz they give it up quicker and they learn to pull a trigger
|
All role models on TV
|
Most of us ain't got a TV, you feel me?
|
Shit, Michael Jordan don't come through
|
I bet the nigga get the money when it time to sell his shoe
|
I'm telling you, I ain't puttin' him down
|
Cuz 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
Life in the projects
|
Where it's hard to get by
|
But you got it cuz 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 cuz 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 freeza and say 'God, please'
|
I wish we had some more of this 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' thangs they went through despite
|
Nobody in the projects gave a fuck
|
Ain't no good, it's all badluck, 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
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Repeat to fade]
|
Life in the projects
|
|
[Adlibs]
|
Yeah
|
I know all them real niggas out there that's livin' they life in the projects
|
That's going through that bullshit, y'know
|
I know how y'all niggas feel
|
Nigga, Doggy Dogg for ya pain
|
It's like I'm livin' in the motherfuckin' projects, too
|
Y'know what I'm sayin'?
|
They want y'all to throw me out my state
|
So, fuck
|
I might as well move back in the projects
|
That's where my real niggas at any motherfuckin' way
|
I gotta get mine, I gotta get mine
|
Life in the projects
|
Nigga, better get yours cuz I'ma get mine
|
Life in the projects, feel me?

|

|
