Once upon a time in the projects, yo
|
I damn near had to wreck a ho
|
I knocked on the door - "Who is it?"
|
It's Ice Cube, come to pay a little visit to ya
|
And what's up with the niggers in the parking lot
|
She said fuck em, cause they get sparked alot
|
I sat on the couch but it wasn't stable
|
and then I put my Nikes on the coffee table
|
Her brother walked in he's into gangbangin
|
cause he walked up and said "what set you claimin"
|
I don't bang I write the good rhymes
|
The whole scenery reminded me of Good Times
|
I hate to feel bad but I'm in a rut
|
by a young nigga that needs to pull his pants up
|
Her mother came in with a joint in her mouth
|
and fired up the sess it was sess no doubt
|
She said please excuse my house and all that
|
I said yeah cause I was buzzed from the contact
|
Lookin at a fucked up black and white
|
her mom's bitchin cause the county check wasn't right
|
She had another brother that was three years old
|
and had a bad case of the runny nose
|
He asked me who I was then I had to pause
|
It smelled like he took a shit in his little drawers
|
I saw her sister that needs get her ass kicked
|
only thirteen and already pregnant
|
I grabbed the forty out the bag and took a swig
|
cause I was getting overwhelmed by BeBe Kids
|
They were runnin and playin and cursin and yellin
|
and tellin and look at this young punk bailin
|
I heard a knock on the door without the password
|
and her mom's got the 12 guage Mossberg
|
The nigga said "yo, what's for sale"
|
and the bitch came out with a bag of ya-yo
|
She made the drop and got the 20 dollars
|
from a smoked out fool with ring around the collar
|
The girl I was waiting for came out
|
I said BITCH I DIDN'T KNOW THIS WAS A CRACK HOUSE
|
I got my coat and SUDDENLY ...
|
(police breaking into house annoucing themselves)
|
The cop busted in and had a Mac-10 pointed to my dome
|
and I said to myself once again it's on
|
He threw me on the carpet no slap jumped back
|
stomped on my head and put his knee in my back
|
First he tried to wrap me up, slap me up, rough me up
|
They couldn't do it so they cuffed me up
|
I said FUCK how much abuse can a nigga take
|
Hey yo officer you're making a big mistake
|
Since I had on a shirt that said I was dope
|
He thought I was selling base and couldn't hear my case
|
He said get out my face I musta had a grudge
|
His reply tell that bullshit to the judge
|
The girl I was with wasn't sayin nothin
|
I said AIYYO BITCH you better tell em SOMETHIN
|
She started draggin and all of a sudden
|
we all got tossed in the patty wagon
|
Now I beat the rap but that ain't the point
|
I had a warrant so I spent 2 weeks in the joint
|
Now the story you heard has one little object
|
DON'T FUCK WITH A BITCH FROM THE PROJECTS!
