Step Into The Projects Lyrics - Me'shell Ndegéocello

She's darker than a child's deepest sleep 

And into his mind she creeps 

In this world of lies and confusion 

She's the only thing not clouded by illusions 

The pain of everyday life is hidden by the blackness of our skin 

He searches to find peace within 

He finds love in the blackness of her skin 

Back to the ghetto 

Serenaded by the violence outside the window 

Project aristocrats gather they realize 

That our hearts and minds are shackled by the lies 

But he finds peace when he looks into her eyes 

And see her blackness is fine 

The blackness of her skin the blackness of her mind

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Straight from the womb 

Right smack dab in the middle of... 

Poverty insecurity no one to save me 

The young black man lays his head on her young black thighs 

So that the child in her womb can hear the tears 

That the black man cries 

Soon come on a wave of positivity the big swinger, 

Swingin'like a jazz singer travelin', movin', movin', 

Steppin'in my three-quarter shell-toes, 

Groovin'love to hear the brothers signify sisters with their head held high 

Summertime, the livin'is easy dreaming of seas of dark tranquility 

On the project train full speed on the project train heading for my love that's sweet like sugercrane
