Projects lyrics

[Intro: Fat Joe]
Anything you wanna let n*ggas know out there
On the rea— on some real street sh*t
Where you ain't gotta hold your tongue, nah mean?
What's the deal?

[Chorus: Dre]
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the 'jects
No apologies for my fresh behavior
No preachers the church has could save ya
Shots ring out, you get stretched and laid up
Streets got drugs, guns, and sex for sale
So, forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the 'jects

[Verse 1: Fat Joe]
Forgive me, I'm a milli from the projects
Drip team, triple beam and the Pyrex
Suicide, it's a suicide
All these lights above my head, why are you surprised?
Every floor of my building got a precious
Now I'm gripping on the ice inside your precious
Get my movie on in that Louis Vuitton
Let my b*tch make your b*tch look like Precious, uh
And I ain't ever trust no chick
If she workin' at the club, then that's not yo' b*tch
All my n*ggas got Scarface tatted
Got hittas on deck and they not gon' miss
[Chorus: Dre]
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the 'jects
No apologies for my fresh behavior
No preachers the church has could save ya
Shots ring out, you get stretched and laid up
Streets got drugs, guns, and sex for sale
So, forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the 'jects

[Verse 2: Dre]
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga out the projects
From where they pick out all the NFL prospects
Either you rich or you poor, a simple concept
So cooking up or totin' a rocket was some progress
But these days, you gotta watch what you post
Tryna speak truth or power get you shot like ghost, whoa
But f*ck it, I'm a n*gga out the ghetto
Where when all else fails, you start hustlin' the Holy Ghost (Church)
You wanna be owners or an opponents
Freezer cold on beaches sippin' Corona
You ain't a rebel the second you choose a set, n*gga
We call the cap on that bullsh*t you tryna peddle, n*gga
[Chorus: Dre]
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'm a n*gga from the 'jects
No apologies for my fresh behavior
No preachers the church has could save ya
Shots ring out, you get stretched and laid up
Streets got drugs, guns, and sex for sale
So, forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the projects
Forgive me, I'ma n*gga from the 'jects
