[Chorus - 2Pac w/ Lil Scrappy ad-libs]

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)

Broke, with no lights on (And you was)

Livin' in the projects (Aye)

Livin' in the projects (Aye)

Livin' in the projects (Aye)

Livin' in the projects (Here we go)

Broke, with no lights on



[Verse 1]

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...)



[Chorus - 2Pac w/ Lil Scrappy ad-libs]

[Verse 2]

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...)

[Verse 3]

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...
