[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 fuck 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 fuck but a n***a 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***a for touching my ice cream
I squabble a n***a 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
