Mobb Deep - Project Hallways lyrics

rate me

Niggaz catchin bodies in the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways..

Project hallways, the project hallways..

Step in to my highrise hell

You gots to be on the up and up

Watch your back, pump your crack

but don't forget to re-up

A burner's your God and you pray to it all day

Then at night, you catch a body

But it's just the shit you got to do

Cause if you wasn't watchin, they'd catch your ass too

You gotta go all out if you want props

or you can just kill a man, and it's the same for cops

Now you want a little fame from the drug game

whether you shoot em up, or pump cracks, it's all the same

But fuck it you're in it to win it

Fat uptown, cookies in the rocks, your spot's hot

Now you're livin the life of a project sad song

Makin your loot from all the right wrongs

But that's the way it goes when you choose your path

and you might just, feel the pain of a tec 22 blast

All out war, with niggaz from the next block

You're pullin out the glock, to shut em down

Now you're Mr. Big Shot in your tribe

Niggaz know your name from Mt. Vernon, to Southside

Comin from the streets of Fright

Where the only thing you'll know is how to roll it up right

And load it up, tight, you're startin a block war

Nigga pull the trigga if you want a little more

Frank Nitty style, buckwild

Thirty-eight slugs from uptown thugs

No question, you're true to the game

since the age of a little Brand Nubian

From skelly tops to props ? and all that

Now you're puttin your block on the map

A role model to the petty drug dealers

Banana clip style, my neighborhood's buckwild

You can't forget who you came from

See you later maybe sooner in the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways

Niggaz catchin bodies in the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways

Niggaz catchin bodies in the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways

Niggaz catchin bodies

A little hellbound nigga, shoot em up, light em up

Pull the trigger, pass the 40 in the project hallways

Runnin through the doorways, back in the days

Just a little snot nosed bastard

Always causin havoc, with a blade

But now it's a burner, used, for murder

Step a little closer and your ass is grass

You better move fast 'fore I kick that ass

Cause I'm sharp like glass, but I won't break

Walk into the project hallways is your big mistake

You little bitch ass nigga, you shoulda known better

You'll get done, did, a kid from the 'Bridge

who gets buck, and couldn't give a fuck about your daze

I'm talkin bout the project hallways

Catchin bodies in the project hallways

Project hallways, chillin in the project hallways

To survive around my way

You gotta play a knuckle game every day

Lost in the shuffle of hardrocks

and knocks on the streets of the uptown blocks

Load the glocks, who got the mox'

A little gun bangin bad-ass project thug

You're in the wrong part of town kid

Mr. Buddha on the 13th floor, gimme some more

Sess bag it up real quick kid

Tap the ? shit, the brew, pass the Phil'

What's my name? Niggaz call me little shorty gets ill

and bag em up on the street corner

And bust em open in the project hallways

Check it out, yo

Around the way kid the sun don't shine

Phillie blunts kid I got what you want and it's time

My dialogue with the project cause motivate

Move, what? I never lose

Freestyle project hallway style

but the shit ain't real unless you got that buddha filled

chalm, keep me goin on when I perform

Charge the brain, lick em up, that's the name of the game

So it's the move when I move little smooth

on the motherfuckin mission and I just improve

Upstairs, niggaz dyin on the 6th floor

Cause in the projects, shit is mad rough

So take a puff and relax your mind

J.V. crimes, most of the time

You might catch my crew, with a sixty-four brew

Watch your back, cause we're comin through

with a fat sack of 1-2-1 son

And the shit ain't fun, unless I get some

of the action, little shorty execute

I'm killin niggaz in the hallways

til there ain't no more left to shoot

So if you can't take the heat, stay out of the ways

Before you 'come a victim of the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways

Niggaz catchin bodies in the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways

Niggaz catchin bodies in the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways

Niggaz catchin bodies in the project hallways

Project hallways, the project hallways

Niggaz shoot em up in the project hallways
