Ice Cube - Once Upon A Time In The Projects lyrics

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
