Listen close to the story I'm about to tell
It will never be repeated, so listen well
And if you been around the way, some of you might know
This girl we label as the project ho

If you look half decent and if you kick it right
She was bound to be yours for at least a night
See, I was introduced to her by my cuz
But that was before he told me who or what she was
Me not knowing about this freak
Pulled her off to the side and began to speak
She had jet-black hair, big brown eyes
She seemed to be smart conversation-wise
I said, "You look so good, as a matter of fact
Here's my number, I ain't home, baby, call me back"
I didn't know if she was poor or filthy rich
Cause my cousin didn't tell me nothing 'bout the bitch
One thing I did know, I'm gonna get my thrill
Then I cold stepped off, and said, "Baby, you chill"
You know that old saying if you're slow you blow?
She was fast, so they labelled her the project ho

I heard stories on the things that they said she'd do
But when I seen her, I said, "Nah, it can't be true"
She was fair game, so I thought I'd play
And never in my life will I forget this day
I was chilling one night, I was all alone
Nodding off but awakened by the ring of the phone
To protect the guilty party cause they might have been stemmed
We won't say her name, so we'll just say Kim
When I heard her, goose-pimples ran up my skin
I said, "Hi, how you're doing and how have you been?"
She said, "I'm doing fine, I hope you're doing the same
Do you know who I am?", "Yeah, I remember your name"
I thought deep down that I peeped the card
Kept saying to myself she was on it hard
I tried to be nice, tried to treat her kind
But she had only one thing on her mind
It always happens, well, wouldn't you know
She said, "I see you later, cause I got to go"
My cousin came home and said, "Are you some fool?
Being seen in the streets with a garden tool"
I loooked up at him, cause I did not know
He said, "Kim, that skeezer, she's the project ho"
