[snoop]
Get your money man itand's hard out there

Get yours get yours get yours
Shootinand' dice on length with a couple of gand's
Dust off my knees twist off my cap and breathe
Jump in the six four sittinand' on d
Spit a few caps at my enemies
Please freeze thereand's a new sheriff in town
Livinand' in the projects, dogg pound pound
No father figure, just gangbang nigga
Cuz they give it up quicker and they learn to pull a trigger
All role models on tv
Most of us ainand't got a tv, you feel me?
Shit, michael jordan donand't come through
I bet the nigga get the money when it time to sell his shoe
Iand'm telling you, i ainand't puttinand' him down
Cuz i love him to death but i ainand't ever seen him in my town
But you could see snoop dogg everyday
Iand'm boss to the blocks like the projects in the pjand's
Yeah, for those of you who donand't know
This is the land of the scandalous and cut throats
Child support- thatand's unheard of
Number one crime in the motherfucker- murder
Ya heard me? hmm, iand'ma stay down
For the get down, from a puppy to the big dogg
Put that on the penthouse
Life in the projects, bang, bang, pow, pow
Is how it sounds
[chorus]
Life in the projects
Where itand's hard to get by
But you got it cuz your spotand's gettinand' hotter
Life in the projects
Where grass is cheese and cheese is power
Life in the projects
Where you got to have the will to know how
Know how to do what? survive
Life in the projects
You got to get yours cuz iand'ma get mine
Life in the projects, goodness grief
Everybody waitinand' on the 1st and 15th
The police man is tryinand' to get atcha
Catcha, snatcha, open up your fridge
Nuttinand' lookinand' back atcha
So you open up your freeza and say and'god, pleaseand'
I wish we had some more of this government cheese
Iand'm duckinand' buckshots, see, walkinand' on my knees
Ainand't no trees, the grass ainand't green
And when i say itand's all bad, you know what i mean
Thereand's one in every family- what? a fiend
And a basketball star with no team, no dreams
Remember good times? jj and michael?
And all the liland' thangs they went through despite
Nobody in the projects gave a fuck
Ainand't no good, itand's all badluck, shucks, shoppinand' poppinand'
Back up on all the scene, from the george down, pjand's, cali or projects
And the cabrini greens, my niggas get wild on they ass
We like to pow-pow on they ass
Hereand's a toast to the coast, so take a blast
andgt;from the projects to the upper deck, upper class
A long way from where i come from
I know where iand'm at, nigga, i canand't forget where i came from
