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 *******
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 ******* ain't tryin to be the ****** groom so stop ************in
*knock knock knock* i like the way that ass is switchin, answer the do'
Some ******* 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 mother*******?
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 ******* jet, smokin on a ciggarette
You say domestic ************t, 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
*******z tell me you got a house full of platinum..
Where the platinum at mother*******?
I hear that ************t worth more than gold!)
Wait a minute mother*******, 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 ******* 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 ************ 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 ***, or chin check
******* get you a real ass ************ 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
