Meshell Ndegocello Step Into The Projects Lyrics

Step Into The Projects Lyrics

Shes darker than a childs deepest sleep

And into his mind she creeps 

In this world of lies and confusion

Shes the only thing not clouded by
illusions 

The pain of everyday life is hidden by the blackness of our
skin

He searches to find peace within

He finds love in the
blackness of her skin 



Back to the ghetto 

Serenaded by the
violence outside the window

Project aristocrats gather they realize 

That our hearts and minds are shackled by the lies 

But he finds peace
when he looks into her eyes 

And see her blackness is fine

The
blackness of her skin the blackness of her mind 



Straight from the
womb 

Right smack dab in the middle of

Poverty insecurity no one to
save me

The young black man lays his head on her young black thighs

So that the child in her womb can hear the tears 

That the black man
cries 

Soon come on a wave of positivity the big swinger,

Swingin
like a jazz singer travelin, movin, movin, 

Steppin in my three-quarter
shell-toes, 

Groovin love to hear the brothers signify sisters with their
head held high 

Summertime, the livin is easy dreaming of seas of dark
tranquility 

On the project train full speed on the project train heading
for my love thats sweet like sugercrane
