| 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 Project ho (variations on the phrase)
|
| If you looked half decent and you kicked it right
|
| She was bound to be yours for at least a night
|
| See, I was introduced to her by my cous'
|
| But that was before he told me who or what she was
|
| Me not knowin 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 nothin 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’ll 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 chillin one night, I was all alone
|
| Noddin off but awaken by the ring of the phone
|
| To protect the guilty party, cause they mighta been stemmed
|
| We won’t say her name, so we’ll just say Kim
|
| What I heard her, goosepimples ran up my skin
|
| I said, How, how you’re doin, and how have you been?
|
| She said, I’m doin fine, I hope you’re doin the same
|
| Do you know who I am? |
| Yeah, I remember your name
|
| I thought deep down that I peeped the card
|
| Kept sayin 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 gardening tool
|
| I loooked up at him, cause I did not know
|
| He said, Kim, that skeezer, she’s the project ho Me myself thought homie was dissin
|
| Despite all that I did not listen
|
| Wouldn’t you believe it, she called me again
|
| And this was the line that I kicked then
|
| I love to see you, girl, and I don’t know why
|
| Don’t try to play post, cause you know you’re fly
|
| So I’d like to come and see you if I may
|
| I was surprised as you when she said, Okay
|
| Now that that part was over and done
|
| Baby, what do you do at times to have fun?
|
| Depending on the weather and the mood that day
|
| Sip Dom Perrignon at a Broadway play
|
| The other things are not good to mention
|
| Like comin to my crib and relieve my tension
|
| I told her I was in love from the day we met
|
| After talkin for hours Kim said, Bet
|
| I had to let her go just to clear my line
|
| So I see you on Friday, let’s say about 9
|
| >From the things she said, why didn’t I know
|
| The girl on my line was the project ho I took her out — fine’s how it went
|
| But I better got somethin for the dough I spent
|
| Turned on the radio and heard (a world premiere)
|
| Turned to her and said, Where we go from here?
|
| The best part of it all, that thing that made it so treach
|
| The clothes we wore were the same as the stretch
|
| I recognized the look that was on her face
|
| And I yelled to the driver, Homeboy, my place
|
| We made it there in at least a half
|
| I got a choice of wines and a jaccuzzi bath
|
| You’ll scream when I tell you what homegirl said
|
| Show me to the room with the king-sized bed
|
| I was rested real well, so I felt strong
|
| I knocked those boots that whole night long
|
| Right after she left, I started to itch
|
| Then I thought of what happened, then I said, That bitch!
|
| I went to see the doctor later on that day
|
| Cause when somethin is wrong, Jack, I don’t play
|
| The doctor came over, this is what he said:
|
| You can’t cure it with soup or layin up in your bed
|
| You’re lucky that you came to see me early, my man
|
| Cause I guess that you know that you got it, Shan
|
| I said, Well, my man, that only goes to show:
|
| Believe em when they tell you she’s the project ho |
