Story behind the song
I want to let the world know what really goes down in the projects...
Lyrics
Album: EXODUS
Song: PrOjEcTs
Beat: "Time Will Prevail"
CHORUS:
lifes to hard in the projects to be alone
watchin cars go and seein life thats not your own
walkin down the street and seein death unfold
lifes to hard in the projects to be alone
VERSE 1:
In this world of imperfection over come with misdirection
the projects was a place taken over by infection
young blood turns cold as pain is served upon
brotherless childen~dyin moms no wonder hope was lost
but i found redemtion it was a common misconseption
that gangs was about death i thought it was about the freindship
but i found the hard way the rules "kill or be killed"
so i loaded my gun and shot nine into a random kid
i didnt know he was my brother it was just another driveby
got out the car looked in his eyes but there wasnt time to cry
called 9-1-1 but not in time i watched my brother die
i didnt realize that takin life was not somethin you desire
went home wit bloodstains and tears in my eyes
my mom wondered why i was cryin and i told her the reason why
she said nothin walked away from her only son
went to the bathroom and shot herself wit the bullets from my gun
CHORUS:
VERSE2:
CHORUS:
VERSE 3:
from birth to date i was raised to live the safe way
avoidin gangstas until one day i witnessed a gang-rape
i ran off and called the cops i knew i had to try
i felt that i would be alright until i had to identify
there were five men in a line three that i recognized
i tryed to not look to but felt the emptyness of the eyes
the courts proceedings were quik dispersing10 years each
i thought that cause of me women could walk the streets safely
but i didnt realize until to late that the rest had heard about
didnt see them till to late the shots rang and i fell down
heard footsteps coming my way all i did was pray
they rolled me over to see my face before taken aim
my life flashed before me as i stared into the shafts gaze
hopin to god my time on earth was worth the projects pain
i looked at my executioner and then the lights went out
life ends so quikly here thats what the projects is all about
