They got this nigga named Rob, and Rob is my dog

His people doin' bad, sometimes I break him off

I got love for the nigga ­ 'round my way, they doin' bad

Every time we come outside, we say, "Look at they dirty ass."

He ain't worried 'bout it, he just keep his head up

And say, "One day, I'ma be straight. Y'all just watch when I come up."

Some days, my dog don't have nothin' to eat

Man, that shit is cold, but sometime that's how it be

His momma on stones, daddy on hero'n

Whole household fucked up ­ all of them bitches gone

Dog, they know they gone, tryin' to score from me

Knowin' I be with they son every day of the week

But they don't care ­ fuck that, not gon' play it like that

That's my motherfuckin' round, so I'ma give him respect

Even though shit fucked up, my round still be chillin'

Gettin' it how he live in this project livin'



(Hook [Hakiem])

In the project, niggas don't wan' see you come up

You don't give 'em what they want, they gon' fuck your head up

Like a man, bruh ­ you know how it be goin' down

Nigga be straight project when they livin' uptown



In the project, you know niggas be stun'n, round

If a nigga don't play ya nigga, go lay your ass down

Like a man, bruh ­ you know how it be goin' down

Nigga be straight thuggin' when they livin' uptown

Look

Verse two, and I'ma talk about these project broads

Stealin' clothes, gettin' hustles, usin' them credit cards

Gettin' how they could, anyway that they can

Wearin' each other clothes, fuckin' each other man

Gotta respect they mind, let 'em do what they do

Broads like to look good, and they like to shine, too

Havin' babies like that ain't nothin' for niggas with names

Them hoes love a nigga with that project fame

Sittin' on the porch, just gossipin'

'Bout any and everything that be happenin'

This shit's real ­ get it how they live in the brick

You should know how it is if you live in the bricks

They do whatever it takes to keep a lil' cake

Catch them a duck, they want everything that he make

Yeah, they play it raw, but I ain't mad at 'em

I just let 'em do they thing, dog, I ain't mad at 'em

[Turk]

Everyday, it's the same old shit, but different toilets

Either you're hustlin' or you're starvin' like Marvin

Livin' from pillar to post, beggin' niggas for jo's

Gettin' played like a junky, disrespected by hoes

'Cause ain't no nigga gon' give you shit, get it for yourself

Flip 'til you can't flip no more for yourself

Gotta get off your ass ­ make it happen, my nigga

Even if it come down to you pullin' that trigga

Nigga, look, don't worry 'bout the next nigga

They gon' hate ya anyway, and that's a fact, nigga

So while they hatin', you just keep doin' your thing

Nigga get outta line is when you let your nuts hang

In the project, nigga don't wan' see you come up

You don't give 'em what they want, they just fuck your head up

Like a man, bruh ­ you know how it be goin' down

Nigga be straight project livin' uptown
