Snoop Dogg: Life In The Projects lyrics
[intro]
[thurgood of pjs]
Yeah, get up, get down
Thats what p funk say
[snoop]
Get your money man, its hard out there
Its hard out there, dogg
What, yeah, huh
Get yours, get yours, get yours
Shootin dice on length with a couple of gs
Dust off my knees, twist off my cap and breathe
Jump in the six-four, sittin on d
Spit a few caps at my enemies
Please, freeze, theres a new sheriff in town
Livin in the projects, dogg pound pound
No father figure, just gangbang nigga
Cuz they give it up quicker and they learn to pull a trigger
All role models on tv
Most of us aint got a tv, you feel me?
Shit, michael jordan dont come through
I bet the nigga get the money when it time to sell his shoe
Im telling you, I aint puttin him down
Cuz I love him to death but I aint ever seen him in my town
But you could see snoop dogg everyday
Im boss to the blocks like the projects in the pjs
Yeah, for those of you who dont know
This is the land of the scandalous and cut throats
Child support- thats unheard of
Number one crime in the motherfucker- murder
Ya heard me? hmm, ima stay down
For the get down, from a puppy to the big dogg
Put that on the penthouse
Life in the projects, bang, bang, pow, pow
Is how it sounds
[chorus]
Life in the projects
Where its hard to get by
But you got it cuz your spots gettin hotter
Life in the projects
Where grass is cheese and cheese is power
Life in the projects
Where you got to have the will to know how
Know how to do what? survive
Life in the projects
You got to get yours cuz ima get mine
Life in the projects, goodness grief
Everybody waitin on the 1st and 15th
The police man is tryin to get atcha
Catcha, snatcha, open up your fridge
Nuttin lookin back atcha
So you open up your freeza and say god, please
I wish we had some more of this government cheese
Im duckin buckshots, see, walkin on my knees
Aint no trees, the grass aint green
And when I say its all bad, you know what I mean
Theres one in every family- what? a fiend
And a basketball star with no team, no dreams
Remember good times? jj and michael?
And all the lil thangs they went through despite
Nobody in the projects gave a fuck
Aint no good, its all badluck, shucks, shoppin poppin
Back up on all the scene, from the george down, pjs, cali or projects
And the cabrini greens, my niggas get wild on they ass
We like to pow-pow on they ass
Heres a toast to the coast, so take a blast
>from the projects to the upper deck, upper class
A long way from where I come from
I know where Im at, nigga, I cant forget where I came from
[chorus]
[repeat to fade]
Life in the projects
[adlibs]
Yeah
I know all them real niggas out there thats livin they life in the projects
Thats going through that bullshit, yknow

Nigga, doggy dogg for ya pain
Its like Im livin in the motherfuckin projects, too
Yknow what Im sayin?
They want yall to throw me out my state
So, fuck

Thats where my real niggas at any motherfuckin way

Life in the projects, feel me?

Life in the projects, yeah
