歌曲 | Project Windows |
歌手 | Nas |
专辑 | Nastradamus |
作词 : Broady, Jones, Myrick | |
Black hoods, cops 'n projects | |
sewers flooded with foul blockage | |
The gutter's wild and every child watches | |
Changin top locks with ripped off hinges | |
doors kicked off, drunks stag off smirnoff, wipe your beard off | |
Crippled dope fiends in wheelchairs stare | |
vision blurry, cus buried deep in they mind are hidden stories | |
Bet he's a mirror image of that 70's era | |
finished for the rest of his life, till he fades out | |
The liquor store workers miss him but then it plays out | |
so many ways out the hood but no signs say out | |
Mental slavehouse where gats go off, I show off | |
niggas up north, prison-ology talk, till they time cut off | |
You should chill if you short, prepare deep thought | |
to hit the street again, get it on, get this paper and breathe again | |
Plan to leave somethin' behind | |
so your name'll live on, no matter what the game lives on | |
(Chorus) | |
Lookin' out of my project window | |
Oh, I feel uninspired | |
Lookin' out of my project window | |
Oh, it makes me feel, so tired | |
Yo, if this piano's the cake then my words are the candles | |
Light it up, make a wish, and them angels will grant you | |
Impatient once tried, but in those angels and bamboo | |
they lit it up, *puff* *puff*, hit it up, *puff* | |
Now they dismantled, think the whole world is crazy, got a 9 | |
watch where you walk, 2 dollar fine, sign of the times here in New York | |
Hi Satan, United Nations quietly taken, to own your soul | |
take it or leave it, just my evaluation | |
Stack loot and guns, teach the girls karate, school your sons not to hate | |
but to stay awake, cus the scars a razor make is nothin' in comparison | |
to the gas left on this whole mass, if we don't get it controlled fast | |
might as well be, laughin' with Malcolm X's assassin as we die slow | |
perishin', brain dead from a Erickson | |
Words are the medicine, two teaspoons for goons | |
a cup of it for those thuggin' it, y'all sing the tune | |
Chorus | |
Another day, another dollar, my mother will holla | |
She said 'go and see the world for myself, and my brother Shafala' | |
Pops was smooth, from his top to his shoes | |
sang the rules, guitar strings he played smokin' his ? | |
? hat, picture this yo, seventies cat | |
He wrote his music in the back of the crib, I did my homework | |
At night the windows were speakers, pumpin' life out | |
a fight, people screamin' cus somebody pulled a knife out | |
So I look at this poem, I'm hooked to this tune | |
every night the same melody, hell sounded so heavenly | |
But jail was ahead of me, ????? | |
Reading's what I should've done, cus my imagination would run | |
I was impatient to get out and become part of the noise out there | |
I used to stare, five stories down, basketball courts, shot up playgrounds | |
and I witnessed the murders and police shake-downs | |
Yo, the hustlas and hoes, drugs and fo-fos | |
This was the life of every kid, lookin' out project windows | |
Oh, outta my window | |
Lookin' out of my project window | |
Oh, it makes me feel, so tired | |
Lookin' out of my project window | |
Oh, I feel uninspired | |
Lookin' out of my project window | |
Oh, it makes me feel, so tired | |
Lookin' out of my project window | |
Oh, I feel uninspired | |
Starin out of, of my window | |
Oh I, feel so tired | |
Oh yeah, outta my window | |
Oh, lookin' out, lookin' out | |
Lookin' out my window, oh yeah | |
Makes me, feel so tired | |
Outta my window, out my project window | |
Lord I feel, uninspired |
