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 n***a
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 n***a ain't tryin to be the f**in groom so stop b**hin
*knock knock knock* i like the way that a** is switchin, answer the do'
Some n***a 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 motherf**er?
You better take his a** in the back, and start talkin
Nick that bud 'fore it bloom, and start stalkin
I can hear you guys yellin *gla** breaks* a little strugglin
Youse a fool if you think that i'm jumpin in
That n***a jet, smokin on a ciggarette
You say domestic sh**, 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
n***az tell me you got a house full of platinum..
Where the platinum at motherf**er?
I hear that sh** worth more than gold!)
Wait a minute motherf**er, 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 b**hes 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 b**h 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 s**, or chin check
n***a get you a real a** b**h 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
