Once Upon A Time In The Projects Lyrics - Greatest Hits - Ice Cube

Once upon a time in the projects, yo 

I damn near had to wreck a ho 

I knocked on the door - "who is it? " 

It's ice cube, come to pay a little visit to ya 

And what's up with the niggers in the parking lot 

She said fuck em, cause they get sparked alot 

I sat on the couch but it wasn't stable 

And then I put my nikes on the coffee table 

Her brother walked in he's into gangbangin 

Cause he walked up and said "what set you claimin" 

I don't bang I write the good rhymes 

The whole scenery reminded me of good times 

I hate to feel bad but I'm in a rut 

By a young nigga that needs to pull his pants up 

Her mother came in with a joint in her mouth 

And fired up the sess it was sess no doubt 

She said please excuse my house and all that 

I said yeah cause I was buzzed from the contact 

Lookin at a fucked up black and white 

Her mom's bitchin cause the county check wasn't right 

She had another brother that was three years old 

And had a bad case of the runny nose 

He asked me who I was then I had to pause 

It smelled like he took a shit in his little drawers 

I saw her sister that needs get her ass kicked 

Only thirteen and already pregnant 

I grabbed the forty out the bag and took a swig 

Cause I was getting overwhelmed by bebe kids 

They were runnin and playin and cursin and yellin 

And tellin and look at this young punk bailin 

I heard a knock on the door without the password 

And her mom's got the 12 guage mossberg 

The nigga said "yo, what's for sale" 

And the bitch came out with a bag of ya-yo 

She made the drop and got the 20 dollars 

From a smoked out fool with ring around the collar 

The girl I was waiting for came out 

I said bitch I didn't know this was a crack house 

I got my coat and suddenly ... 

(police breaking into house annoucing themselves) 

The cop busted in and had a mac-10 pointed to my dome 

And I said to myself once again it's on 

He threw me on the carpet no slap jumped back 

Stomped on my head and put his knee in my back 

First he tried to wrap me up, slap me up, rough me up 

They couldn't do it so they cuffed me up 

I said fuck how much abuse can a nigga take 

Hey yo officer you're making a big mistake 

Since I had on a shirt that said I was dope 

He thought I was selling base and couldn't hear my case 

He said get out my face I musta had a grudge 

His reply tell that bullshit to the judge 

The girl I was with wasn't sayin nothin 

I said aiyyo bitch you better tell em somethin 

She started draggin and all of a sudden 

We all got tossed in the patty wagon 

Now I beat the rap but that ain't the point 

I had a warrant so I spent 2 weeks in the joint 

Now the story you heard has one little object 

Don't fuck with a bitch from the projects!
