Ice Cube - Once Upon A Time In The Projects Lyrics
Once upon a time in the projects, yo
I damn near had to wreck a ho
I knocked on the door - "Who is it?"
It's Ice Cube, come to pay a little visit to ya
And what's up with the niggas in the parking lot
I sat on the couch but it wasn't stable
And then I put my Nikes on the coffee table
Her brother came in, he's into gangbangin
Cause he walked up and said "What set you claimin?"
I don't bang I write the good rhymes
The whole scenery reminded me of Good Times
I don't like to feel that I'm put in a rut
By a young nigga that needs to pull his pants up
He threw up a set and then he was gone
I'm thinkin to myself, won't this bitch bring her ass on
And fired up the sess, it was sess no doubt
She said please excuse my house and all that
I said yeah cause I was buzzed from the contact
Lookin at a fucked up black and white
Her mom's bitchin cause the county check wasn't right
She had another brother that was three years old
And had a bad case of the runny nose
He asked me who I was then I had to pause
It smelled like he took a shit in his little drawers
I saw her sister who really needs her ass kicked
Only thirteen and already pregnant
I grabbed my forty out the bag and took a swig
Cause I was getting overwhelmed by BeBe Kids
They was runnin' and yellin' and playin' and cussin'
And tellin' and look at this young punk bailin'
I heard a knock on the door without the password
And her mom's got the 12 guage Mossberg
The nigga said "yo, what's for sale"
And the bitch came out with a bag of yayo
She made the drop and got the 20 dollars
From a smoked-out fool with ring around the collar
The girl I was waiting for came out
I said "Bitch, I didn't know this was a crack house"
I got my coat and suddenly ...
(police breaking into house annoucing themselves)
The cop busted in and had a Mac-10 pointed at my dome
And I said to myself once again it's on
He threw me on the carpet and wasn't cuttin no slack
Jumped on my head and put his knee in my back
First he tried to slap me up, wrap me up, rough me up
They couldn't do it so they cuffed me up
I said FUCK how much abuse can a nigga take
Hey yo officer you're making a big mistake
Since I had on a shirt that said I was dope
He thought I was selling base and couldn't hear my case
He said "Get out my face" and musta had a grudge
His reply, "Tell that bullshit to the judge"
The girl I was with wasn't sayin nothin'
I said "Aiyyo bitch you better tell em somethin'"
She started draggin and all of a sudden
We all got tossed in the paddy wagon
Now I beat the rap but that ain't the point
I had a warrant so I spent 2 weeks in the joint
Now the story you heard has one little object:
Don't fuck with a bitch from the projects

“Now the story that you heard has one little object

Cube is telling a lesson and story in the same time
This when Ice Cube was at its best
Cube is one of the best story tellers. ❤️ living legend.

2019 And still the best RAP SONG OF ALL TIME💯
2019 cube real poetry!!!!!
Was dis nigga even born in tha projects?
classic cube is always the best,,,,makes you really sit and feel like your there in person watching him tell the story,,,,,,,
Who here in 2019 tho
Remember bumping this tape in 1990 in Middle School
Top 3 story tellers.Fools put niggas like nas,biggie,and pac in they list which ain’t a bad list of course but cube better than all of em. Nas story telling was dope but it lacked the humor and biggie ain’t really have dope stories to be in top 3. Cube is more versatile in story telling Thats why he an amazing script writer. Cubes simply number 1.
Storyteller
2019 nwa
This ish is so damn hilarious I had to listen 2 it 4 times and laughed every time. Favorite part: THE GIRL I WAS WITH WASN'T SAYING NOTHING, I SAID YO BITCH YA BETTER TELLUM SOMETHING 😂😂😂😂
