The Projects Lyrics by Kerry Badgley

Pieces to Yesterday

2009

[Verse]
When I woke up yesterday
The sun was shining bright
And I thought damn
What a good day to start a fight
But this is not the type of situation
That I'd ever thought myself to be in
All them other punks rollin' their dice
Behind street-lit buildings to run and hide
Yellow tape barricadin' all the places
That he's already hit up today
And then boom, just like that his world
Came crumbling down
Just another drop until you hear the sound
Of it all turnin' round
Like what everybody here sayin'
[Chorus]
Livin' in the projects, far away
Livin' in the outline of today
Livin' in the skyline of tomorrow
Waiting for the land to slide away
[Verse]
Police hoppin' down the block
Flashing lights and sirens
Hopin' to get some homeless guy to talk
But he's not around, never to be found
Chillin' with his homies in some club downtown
All the lights flashin', speakers blastin'
The bass line tearing this place down
Smooth talkin' with the bouncer
Now he's living V.I.P
I wanna see you fuckers jump to the sound
Dance all around
Just another drop until you hear the sound
Of it all turnin' round
Like what all them other fuckers here sayin'
[Chorus]
Livin' in the projects, far away
Livin' in the outline of today
Livin' in the skyline of tomorrow
Waiting for the land to slide away
Livin' in the projects, far away
Livin' in the outline of today
Livin' in the skyline of tomorrow
Waiting for the land to slide away
