Me'Shell NdegeOcello - Step Into The Projects Lyrics
She's darker than a child's deepest sleepAnd into his mind she creepsIn this world of lies and confusionShe's the only thing not clouded by illusionsThe pain of everyday life is hidden by the blackness of our skinHe searches to find peace withinHe finds love in the blackness of her skinBack to the ghettoSerenaded by the violence outside the windowProject aristocrats gather they realizeThat our hearts and minds are shackled by the liesBut he finds peace when he looks into her eyesAnd see her blackness is fineThe blackness of her skin the blackness of her mindStraight from the wombRight smack dab in the middle of¡Poverty insecurity no one to save meThe young black man lays his head on her young black thighsSo that the child in her womb can hear the tearsThat the black man criesSoon come on a wave of positivity the big swinger,Swingin'like a jazz singer travelin', movin', movin',Steppin'in my three-quarter shell-toes,Groovin'love to hear the brothers signify sisters with their head held highSummertime, the livin'is easy dreaming of seas of dark tranquilityOn the project train full speed on the project train heading for my love that's sweet like sugercrane
