[Chorus]
You never stand around the corner from the projects
Never have to steal your clothes to get a fit
Never went to a function to hit a lick
You never stand around the corner from the projects
You never stand around the corner from the projects
You never have to steal your clothes to get a fit
You never went to a function to hit a lick
You never stand around the corner from the projects
[Verse 1]
I was late to school cause my clothes they was dirty
My daddy from sixties, my uncle from thirties
I ran outta deal, today I'm thirsty
She f*ck with my shoes but these my cousins
Catchin' the bus at five in the morning
You wouldn't believe me, my momma was on it
They got no fair, I ain't got no tokens
Tall as f*ck but a n*gga rockin' Jordans
My momma got a whip but she ain't go no license
My daddy a crip so I always be fighting
I squabble a n*gga for touching my ice cream
I squabble a n*gga for scuffing my shoes
I only got tickets for county food
Milk and cereal, coffee cake to
I won a bad case, but they wanna match you
They want you to win but they set you to lose
Like how I get better, if I don't finish school
They bell be ringing, when I got home by two
Comeback any later, get beat with a shoe
[Chorus]
You never stand around the corner from the projects
Never have to steal your clothes to get a fit
Never went to a function to hit a lick
You never stand around the corner from the projects
You never stand around the corner from the projects
You never have to steal your clothes to get a fit
You never went to a function to hit a lick
You never stand around the corner from the projects
