[Hook]
I was raised in the projects, projects
I was raised in the projects, projects - 6x
I was raised in the

[Verse 1]
Tryin' to floss in the projects, mayne get ya jacked off
Run up on ya with the Mossberg, face smacked off
You could be the nigga on the curb, get ya crack off
Fingers on the trigger full of herb, never slack off
Same gorilla tactics over here, pocket swollen
Pretty white guts, rims big as a Samoan
Jolly Rancher colors on the whips. We be rolling
North Memphis, Dirty South, you know that I'm holding
The hood on the weight of, my nigga you stay up
Locked down now the town gettin my pay up
It's Project Pat, the haters say, "Oh no"
Hypnotize stacking money by the boat load

[Hook]
I was raised in the projects, projects
I was raised in the projects, projects - 5x
I was raised in the

[Verse 2]
We still cock 'em up, rock 'em down, come up love, ride the town
Flexing out, looking good, still the same in the hood
Full of dope, full of crosses, ain't no love, ain't no losses
Niggers greed, want it all, Cut the throat, of the bosses
Got them diamonds in the teeth, in the watch, in the Range
Diamond out, neckalace, diamond out, Fendi frame
You stay sweating the police cars on bricks
Giving fake names mayne dodging all warrants
In the projects dope bodies'll get hauled off
You got twelve years old out here shooting sawed off
These big booty chickens got suckers turning necks
Project Pat, Dirty South, welcome to the projects

[Hook]
I was raised in the projects, projects
I was raised in the projects, projects - 5x
I was raised in the

Patrick Houston (born February 8, 1973), better known by his stage name Project Pat, is an American rapper and actor from Memphis, Tennessee. He is the older brother of rapper Juicy J, and frequently collaborates with Three Six Mafia. His rap name references the fact that he is from the Projects— more formally know as Public Housing—followed by his real name, Pat.

Project released his first studio album, Ghetty Green in 1999 after being released from prison, on his brother’s Hypnotize Minds record label. In the year 2000, as Three 6 Mafia released their fourth studio album – When the Smoke Sixty 6, Sixty 1 – Project first gained mainstream attention by providing the hook for the song Sippin' on Some Syrup. Ghetty Green was then followed by 7 more albums, the last of which (Mista Don’t Play 2) was released in 2015.

One of his most notable albums was his fifth, Walkin' Bank Roll, which was released in 2007 and peaked at #45 on the Billboard 200.
