Project Blues...

Hanging out on my front porch in East Capital dwellings on the SE side of town as we sip on a forty and talking about who got smoked the other night... We all got them Project blues! Summer now finally here we roll up them tiny trees... Puff Puff and then passing it around and you better watching out for them five O clowns... cuz no body will care if they should happen to beat you down. Man, I got them project blues! We are all sad because Mike got smoked over some silly trick just last week. Man, we got them project blues! We just found out Paul got the package and he don't know how much longer he might have to live? Man, I got them project blues! My Momma just got laid off from her job down at the U Street grill... Guess its back to food stamps for us this year? Man, I got them project blues! This ain't no joke growing up in a hell hole like this and its really bad if you just so happen to be born a young male... and God help you if you are black. Man, have I got them project blues!
