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
[Hook - Hakiem]
[Turk]
Everyday, it`s the same old shit, but different toilets
Either you`re hustlin` or you`re starvin` like Marvin
Livin` from (??) to (?), 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
