Ice Cube - Once Upon A Time In The Projects lyrics

Album: Amerikkka´s Most Wanted (1990)

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 is ice cube, come to pay a little visit to ya
And what´s up with the niggers in the parking lot
She said f*ck 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 has into gangbangin
Cause he walked up & said "what set you claimin"
I do not bang I write the good rhymes
The whole scenery reminded me of good times
I hate to feel bad but I am 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 & all that
I said yea cause I was buzzed from the contact
Lookin at a f*cked up black & white
Her mom´s bitchin cause the county check wasn´t right
She had another brother that was three yeahrs 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 & already pregnant
I grabbed the forty out the bag & took a swig
Cause I was getting overwhelmed by bebe kids
They were runnin & playin & cursin & yellin
And tellin & 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 & 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 did not know this was a crack house
I got my coat & suddenly ...
(police breaking into house annoucing themselves)
The cop busted in & had a mac-10 pointed to my dome
And I said to myself once again it is on
He threw me on the carpet no slap jumped back
Stomped on my head & put his knee in my back
1st he tried to wrap me up, slap me up, rough me up
They couldn´t do it so they cuffed me up
I said f*ck how much abuse can a nigga take
Hey yo officer you are making a big mistake
Since I had on a shirt that said I was dope
He thought I was selling base & 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 & all of a sudden
We all got tossed in the patty wagon
Now I beat the rap but that aint 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 f*ck with a bitch from the projects!
