Once upon a time in the projects yo
  I damn near had to wreck a hoe
  Yellin through the screen do' (HEY, let me in!)
  (Big Daddy got a fifth of gin, and down to sin)
  Baby up in two-ten, is on a nigga
  Bendin over pickin up her mail, she can tell I'm dyin to get her
  I'm sittin in yo' livin room, slash kitchen
  A nigga ain't tryin to be the fuckin groom so stop bitchin
  [knock knock knock] I like the way that ass is switchin, answer the do'
  Some nigga in a eighty-kay, yo' baby daddy
  lookin like he mad at me (what) wit'cho name on his neck
  Here we go with mo' drama in the projects
    Wait a minute, who is this motherfucker?
    You better take his ass in the back, and start talkin
  Nick that bud 'fore it bloom, and start stalkin
  I can hear you guys yellin [glass breaks] a little strugglin
  Youse a FOOL if you think that I'm jumpin in
  That nigga jet, smokin on a ciggarette
  You say domestic shit, get you soakin wet?
  Well come widdit and get it, blow my socks
  while I'm drinkin all the Kool-Aid, watchin Jamie Foxx
  I'm hearin mo' knocks [knock knock knock]
  (Oh, that's just my people
  They came all the way to the projects to meet you) Who?
  This fool wearin black, his girl, in the see through
  Distraction, a little action, [fight ensues] I woke up
  Tied up like (What happened? Punk you shoulda stuck to rappin
  Niggaz tell me you got a house full of platinum..
  Where the platinum at motherfucker?
  I hear that shit worth more than gold!)
    Wait a minute motherfucker, this my house!
    Once upon a time in the projects [3X]
  Once upon a time, once upon a time
    I'm like baffled, they got me gaffled, with the duct tape
  So I remain raw, in come this chainsaw [knock knock knock]
  Another knock, it's the girl from two-ten
  here to drop salt, that's when them bitches fought
  I thought, "I bet-ta plan my escape"
  In the midst of this commotion, Ice Cube is breakin tape
  I'm free, bombin on the first thing I see
  And guess who walk in, with a nine, and a grin
  It's the baby daddy he ain't playin, [gunshots]
  He started layin everybody down, about face with a frown
  I'm runnin to the bedroom, I lock the do'
  and grab the phone, the bitch phone ain't turned on
  I think I'm gone, that's when I hear a soft knock
  It's the girl from two-ten, with her number, and a glock
  Said, "Call me up, if it's for sex, or chin check
  Nigga get you a real ass bitch from the projects!"
    And I just might do that
    Once upon a time in the projects [3X]
  Once upon a time, once upon a time
