Lyrics Livin' in the Projects - Lil Scrappy

Livin' in the Projects

Growin' up on Section A, momma in the otha room cryin'
Cuz she got bills to pay, and it ain’t no chores to play
Only thang outside is a sand box and a gate to hate
And the show ain’t gon' show money, soul of a show money
Only thang around town, Brooklyn is dat dope money (Livin' in the projects)
Dem boys on the corna, and they pockets gittin' stronga
Momma did it fo' the hunger
We sold about a hundred, err’body still runnin'
And we sittin' on the block
Cuz the dope feigns rollin'
Videos, I ain’t trynna be no rap
I ain’t trynna be no act
I’m tryin' to make a stack up (Livin' in the projects)
I ain’t gotta call practice
So if I’m on the streets, then come greet or tear my back up (Livin' in the
projects)
Tha police betta call back up
Cuz if I can’t feed my daughter — I’ma come and rob ya (And I was…)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects
Broke, with no lights on (And I was)
Livin' in the projects (Uh-huh)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (What's goin' on)
Broke, with no lights on (And you was)

Broke, with no lights on (And we was)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Yea)
Broke, with no lights on
Rememba when the food stamps used to look like dollas
I ain’t have no clothes so the ho’s wouldn’t holla
Git outta here would all a nigga wann'
When I hit 'em lights all the roaches hit the flo' (Damn)
Momma had got in to a accident
It’s fucked up, mayn she can’t even pay the rent
And the heat and light been out eva since
So you know when a nigga gone, it git cold in the bitch
You know what I’ma do?
— I'ma go git rich
Put on my ski mask and go hit me a liq
It’s all you could do when you young and from Tha Bricks
I’m from the hood, lil' shawty, I’ma represent (And I was…)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects
Broke, with no lights on (And I was)

Broke, with no lights on (And you was)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Broke, with no lights on (And we was)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Yea)
Broke, with no lights on
Now it was neva eva 'posed to be like this
My teacha told me I wadn’t gon' be shiit
A surely young nigga when his dad got rich
A-Town ho' you can suck my dick
Now you made it outta Tha Projects
A young nigga gittin' cash
Gotta keep dat steady flow runnin' while the time pass
Can’t let 'em git you down, move in or move out
Gotta git dat money shawty, dat whudd I’m talkin' bout
When time git hard betta pray to God
Don’t stretch the dope game on the boulevard
No (No), my daughter neva will
And if I have to kill, she gonna git anutha meal
Shiit, play the hand I was dealed
And if a man stepped to me i got a right to grab the steal
Chyea, I’m on top and I still rememb-a
Those cold ass days in Decemba, and I was…
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
Livin' in the projects
Broke, with no lights on (And I was)
Livin' in the projects (Uh-huh)
Livin' in the projects (Aye)
