Ice Cube - Once Upon A Time In The Projects Lyrics
Once upon a time in the projects, yoI damn near had to wreck a hoI knocked on the door - who is it?Its ice cube, come to pay a little visit to yaAnd whats up with the niggers in the parking lotShe said ***** em, cause they get sparked alotI sat on the couch but it wasnt stableAnd then I put my nikes on the coffee tableHer brother walked in hes into gangbanginCause he walked up and said what set you claiminI dont bang I write the good rhymesThe whole scenery reminded me of good timesI hate to feel bad but Im in a rutBy a young nigga that needs to pull his pants upHer mother came in with a joint in her mouthAnd fired up the sess it was sess no doubtShe said please excuse my house and all thatI said yeah cause I was buzzed from the contactLookin at a *****ed up black and whiteHer moms *****in cause the county check wasnt rightShe had another brother that was three years oldAnd had a bad case of the runny noseHe asked me who I was then I had to pauseIt smelled like he took a shit in his little drawersI saw her sister that needs get her ass kickedOnly thirteen and already pregnantI grabbed the forty out the bag and took a swigCause I was getting overwhelmed by bebe kidsThey were runnin and playin and cursin and yellinAnd tellin and look at this young punk bailinI heard a knock on the door without the passwordAnd her moms got the 12 guage mossbergThe nigga said yo, whats for saleAnd the ***** came out with a bag of ya-yoShe made the drop and got the 20 dollarsFrom a smoked out fool with ring around the collarThe girl I was waiting for came outI said ***** I didnt know this was a crack houseI got my coat and suddenly ...(police breaking into house annoucing themselves)The cop busted in and had a mac-10 pointed to my domeAnd I said to myself once again its onHe threw me on the carpet no slap jumped backStomped on my head and put his knee in my backFirst he tried to wrap me up, slap me up, rough me upThey couldnt do it so they cuffed me upI said ***** how much abuse can a nigga takeHey yo officer youre making a big mistakeSince I had on a shirt that said I was dopeHe thought I was selling base and couldnt hear my caseHe said get out my face I musta had a grudgeHis reply tell that bullshit to the judgeThe girl I was with wasnt sayin nothinI said aiyyo ***** you better tell em somethinShe started draggin and all of a suddenWe all got tossed in the patty wagonNow I beat the rap but that aint the pointI had a warrant so I spent 2 weeks in the jointNow the story you heard has one little objectDont ***** with a ***** from the projects!
