[Intro: Kodak Black]
I don't stay in them projects
I don't stay in them projects (Yeah)
I don't, I don't stay in them (Hey) projects (Yeah)
I don't stay in them (Hey) projects (Ayy)
[Verse 1]
I'm still in the projects, Section 8 (Yeah)
Matter fact I was just over there (Yeah)
Went to my ghetto bitch spot in the back (Parked)
Sat on the porch while she braid up my hair (Facts)
The trap open wide, dead body outside
Knock on the door twice if you want a 3-5 (Yeah)
My nigga keep loud but he sell it quiet
'Cause niggas be 12, that's seven plus five (Ayy)
You ever sold candy to the candy lady?
Mama worked all the time, I was grandma baby (Spoiled)
Jumped off the porch, picked up a .380 (Bah)
It jammed a couple times, thank God I made it (Amen)
Fast forward I picked up a Glock (I don't stay in them projects)
Put one hunnid shots in my three hunnid chop (I don't stay in them projects)
Cruisin' down Collins, my arm out the window (I don't stay in them projects)
Sapphire rich, yeah, you see through my watch (I don't stay in them projects)
Eat it up
[Chorus]
Came from nothin', no rearview gang, I'm not lookin' back (Not lookin' back)
If you ever gave your word, then you must stand on that (Stand on that)
I got members where I grew up, they're still flippin' packs
Just jumped off a private, took ten black trucks to the projects (Go)
Came from nothin', no rearview gang, I'm not lookin' back (Not lookin' back)
If you ever gave your word, then you must stand on that (Stand on that)
I got members where I grew up, they're still flippin' packs
Just jumped off a private (Where you at?), took ten black trucks to the projects (Go)
[Verse 2]
Gotta pay what you weigh, if you tryna get 'em (Why?)
Comin' out the house be too expensive
Before rap, it was ten-mile apartment projects
Where the Bloods into it with the Hoover niggas (Remember?)
Used to stay in True Religion denim
Now Amiris, these racks can't even fit up in 'em (Standin')
Fuck with the lil' hoe upstairs from me
She gon' get me a rental, fried chicken for dinner (Ratchet)
12 hit the block, nothin' stopped, still gettin' it
Bullshit down shop every Tuesday, Thursday (Knocked)
Slid four deep in the famous Suburban (What happened?)
Slam on the opp block, Julius Erving (Brr)
Them niggas trappin', but they weed ain't exotic (I don't stay in them projects)
They boilin' and drinkin' they water with it (Ah)
Turn my struggle to money I made 'em feel me (I don't stay in them projects)
It was hard to believe now they know I'm different (Go)
I come from where you can get crossed on the move (Memphis)
Back seat gon' treat 'em like BooBoo the Fool (Clown)
Rich get my setup, put him in my casa
You gotta die too since you vouched for that dude (Yeah)
'Member Hitech was like 40 a line
Now it's discontinued too hard to find (Go)
Eighteen years old, I committed that crime
Walked that shit down 1129 (In the projects)
[Chorus]
Came from nothin', no rearview gang, I'm not lookin' back (Not lookin' back)
If you ever gave your word, then you must stand on that (Stand on that)
I got members where I grew up, they're still flippin' packs
Just jumped off a private, took ten black trucks to the projects (Go)
Came from nothin', no rearview gang, I'm not lookin' back (Not lookin' back)
If you ever gave your word, then you must stand on that (Stand on that)
I got members where I grew up, they're still flippin' packs
Just jumped off a private (Where you at?), took ten black trucks to the projects (Go)
[Outro]
I don't stay in them projects
I don't stay in them projects (Yeah)
I don't, I don't stay in them (Hey) projects (Yeah)
I don't stay in them (Hey) projects (Ayy)
I don't stay in them projects
I don't stay in them projects (Yeah)
I don't, I don't stay in them (Hey) projects (Yeah)
I don't stay in them (Hey) projects (Ayy)
