Project Baby - OMB Peezy, William King

Dubba-AA flexin'

OMB Peezy

We preachin' to the streets

See when you see Peezy

That’s that rose that had no water

No sunlight but God still told him to shine

All those nights of dreaming

All those nights of chasing

The promise land

The promise land’ll save a whole city

It’ll save his whole family

Yeah, this was a special rose

Who had to be a man before he became a man

But he was ready

You see, before you become a king

You gotta take a loss

You gotta lay down and bleed awhile

'Til the world can feel your pain

You see, this generation

We don’t need young man to come from behind that pulpit

We need that king that rose through them projects

Emerged from that crack smoke

And said, «Kings, follow me»

This is the sound

Watch me shine

In order to be a boss, you gotta take a loss

I should know, I done took plenty of 'em

It’s money out that door, he gotta get him some

'Cause when that nigga broke, they ain’t got a penny for him

I’m here to tell you 'bout the life of a project baby

I’ma tell you 'bout the life of a project baby

Let me tell you 'bout the life

Got a call from my cousin, say he fresh out

I ain’t get nothin' for Christmas so I’m stealin' out of Best Buy

Hang my clothes on the clothesline, dawg crossed me like AI

It don’t matter the season on my block, it’s gon' stay hot

I gotta keep my eyes open ridin', know I’m gettin' older

Can’t even kiss my granny with that sack, she gon' say she a smoker

This that life of a project baby, we’ll cutthroat you

I’ll never fold up, never bluff, I don’t play poker

Dirty pants, wearin' dirty buffs

Now these bitches love me 'cause I’m up

Now I don’t even wanna fuck

Bitch, I don’t even want a hug

I done rose up from the concrete, I’m blessed, fuck luck

You ain’t help me then, now I’m up

Need help, I don’t give a fuck

It’s the life of a project baby

It’s the life of a project baby

In order to be a boss, you gotta take a loss

I should know, I done took plenty of 'em

It’s money out that door, he gotta get him some

'Cause when that nigga broke, they ain’t got a penny for him

I’m here to tell you 'bout the life of a project baby

I’ma tell you 'bout the life of a project baby

Peezy

Yeah, the preacher of the streets

Yeah, this king came from nothin', but

You gotta feel him now

You gotta respect him

You gotta give him his crown

'Cause where we from

If you don’t give it, we take it

This is the sound
