| Listen close to the story I’m about to tell | 
| It will never be repeated, so listen well | 
| And if you been around the way, some of you might know | 
| This girl we label as the project ho Project ho (variations on the phrase) | 
| If you looked half decent and you kicked it right | 
| She was bound to be yours for at least a night | 
| See, I was introduced to her by my cous' | 
| But that was before he told me who or what she was | 
| Me not knowin about this freak | 
| Pulled her off to the side and began to speak | 
| She had jet-black hair, big brown eyes | 
| She seemed to be smart conversation-wise | 
| I said, You look so good, as a matter of fact | 
| Here’s my number, I ain’t home, baby, call me back | 
| I didn’t know if she was poor or filthy rich | 
| Cause my cousin didn’t tell me nothin bout the bitch | 
| One thing I did know: I’m gonna get my thrill' | 
| Then I cold stepped off, and said, Baby, you chill | 
| You know that old saying 'if you’re slow you’ll blow' | 
| She was fast, so they labelled her the Project Ho I heard stories on the things that they said she’d do But when I seen her, I said, 'Nah, it can’t be true' | 
| She was fair game, so I thought I’d play | 
| And never in my life will I forget this day | 
| I was chillin one night, I was all alone | 
| Noddin off but awaken by the ring of the phone | 
| To protect the guilty party, cause they mighta been stemmed | 
| We won’t say her name, so we’ll just say Kim | 
| What I heard her, goosepimples ran up my skin | 
| I said, How, how you’re doin, and how have you been? | 
| She said, I’m doin fine, I hope you’re doin the same | 
| Do you know who I am? | 
| Yeah, I remember your name | 
| I thought deep down that I peeped the card | 
| Kept sayin to myself she was on it hard | 
| I tried to be nice, tried to treat her kind | 
| But she had only one thing on her mind | 
| It always happens, well, wouldn’t you know | 
| She said, I see you later, cause I got to go My cousin came home and said, Are you some fool? | 
| Being seen in the streets with a gardening tool | 
| I loooked up at him, cause I did not know | 
| He said, Kim, that skeezer, she’s the project ho Me myself thought homie was dissin | 
| Despite all that I did not listen | 
| Wouldn’t you believe it, she called me again | 
| And this was the line that I kicked then | 
| I love to see you, girl, and I don’t know why | 
| Don’t try to play post, cause you know you’re fly | 
| So I’d like to come and see you if I may | 
| I was surprised as you when she said, Okay | 
| Now that that part was over and done | 
| Baby, what do you do at times to have fun? | 
| Depending on the weather and the mood that day | 
| Sip Dom Perrignon at a Broadway play | 
| The other things are not good to mention | 
| Like comin to my crib and relieve my tension | 
| I told her I was in love from the day we met | 
| After talkin for hours Kim said, Bet | 
| I had to let her go just to clear my line | 
| So I see you on Friday, let’s say about 9 | 
| >From the things she said, why didn’t I know | 
| The girl on my line was the project ho I took her out — fine’s how it went | 
| But I better got somethin for the dough I spent | 
| Turned on the radio and heard (a world premiere) | 
| Turned to her and said, Where we go from here? | 
| The best part of it all, that thing that made it so treach | 
| The clothes we wore were the same as the stretch | 
| I recognized the look that was on her face | 
| And I yelled to the driver, Homeboy, my place | 
| We made it there in at least a half | 
| I got a choice of wines and a jaccuzzi bath | 
| You’ll scream when I tell you what homegirl said | 
| Show me to the room with the king-sized bed | 
| I was rested real well, so I felt strong | 
| I knocked those boots that whole night long | 
| Right after she left, I started to itch | 
| Then I thought of what happened, then I said, That bitch! | 
| I went to see the doctor later on that day | 
| Cause when somethin is wrong, Jack, I don’t play | 
| The doctor came over, this is what he said: | 
| You can’t cure it with soup or layin up in your bed | 
| You’re lucky that you came to see me early, my man | 
| Cause I guess that you know that you got it, Shan | 
| I said, Well, my man, that only goes to show: | 
| Believe em when they tell you she’s the project ho |
