| Listen close to the story I’m about to tell
 | 
| It will never be repeated, so listen well
 | 
| And if you been around the way, some of you might know
 | 
| This girl we label as the project ho Project ho (variations on the phrase)
 | 
| If you looked half decent and you kicked it right
 | 
| She was bound to be yours for at least a night
 | 
| See, I was introduced to her by my cous'
 | 
| But that was before he told me who or what she was
 | 
| Me not knowin about this freak
 | 
| Pulled her off to the side and began to speak
 | 
| She had jet-black hair, big brown eyes
 | 
| She seemed to be smart conversation-wise
 | 
| I said, You look so good, as a matter of fact
 | 
| Here’s my number, I ain’t home, baby, call me back
 | 
| I didn’t know if she was poor or filthy rich
 | 
| Cause my cousin didn’t tell me nothin bout the bitch
 | 
| One thing I did know: I’m gonna get my thrill'
 | 
| Then I cold stepped off, and said, Baby, you chill
 | 
| You know that old saying 'if you’re slow you’ll blow'
 | 
| She was fast, so they labelled her the Project Ho I heard stories on the things that they said she’d do But when I seen her, I said, 'Nah, it can’t be true'
 | 
| She was fair game, so I thought I’d play
 | 
| And never in my life will I forget this day
 | 
| I was chillin one night, I was all alone
 | 
| Noddin off but awaken by the ring of the phone
 | 
| To protect the guilty party, cause they mighta been stemmed
 | 
| We won’t say her name, so we’ll just say Kim
 | 
| What I heard her, goosepimples ran up my skin
 | 
| I said, How, how you’re doin, and how have you been?
 | 
| She said, I’m doin fine, I hope you’re doin the same
 | 
| Do you know who I am? | 
| Yeah, I remember your name
 | 
| I thought deep down that I peeped the card
 | 
| Kept sayin to myself she was on it hard
 | 
| I tried to be nice, tried to treat her kind
 | 
| But she had only one thing on her mind
 | 
| It always happens, well, wouldn’t you know
 | 
| She said, I see you later, cause I got to go My cousin came home and said, Are you some fool?
 | 
| Being seen in the streets with a gardening tool
 | 
| I loooked up at him, cause I did not know
 | 
| He said, Kim, that skeezer, she’s the project ho Me myself thought homie was dissin
 | 
| Despite all that I did not listen
 | 
| Wouldn’t you believe it, she called me again
 | 
| And this was the line that I kicked then
 | 
| I love to see you, girl, and I don’t know why
 | 
| Don’t try to play post, cause you know you’re fly
 | 
| So I’d like to come and see you if I may
 | 
| I was surprised as you when she said, Okay
 | 
| Now that that part was over and done
 | 
| Baby, what do you do at times to have fun?
 | 
| Depending on the weather and the mood that day
 | 
| Sip Dom Perrignon at a Broadway play
 | 
| The other things are not good to mention
 | 
| Like comin to my crib and relieve my tension
 | 
| I told her I was in love from the day we met
 | 
| After talkin for hours Kim said, Bet
 | 
| I had to let her go just to clear my line
 | 
| So I see you on Friday, let’s say about 9
 | 
| >From the things she said, why didn’t I know
 | 
| The girl on my line was the project ho I took her out — fine’s how it went
 | 
| But I better got somethin for the dough I spent
 | 
| Turned on the radio and heard (a world premiere)
 | 
| Turned to her and said, Where we go from here?
 | 
| The best part of it all, that thing that made it so treach
 | 
| The clothes we wore were the same as the stretch
 | 
| I recognized the look that was on her face
 | 
| And I yelled to the driver, Homeboy, my place
 | 
| We made it there in at least a half
 | 
| I got a choice of wines and a jaccuzzi bath
 | 
| You’ll scream when I tell you what homegirl said
 | 
| Show me to the room with the king-sized bed
 | 
| I was rested real well, so I felt strong
 | 
| I knocked those boots that whole night long
 | 
| Right after she left, I started to itch
 | 
| Then I thought of what happened, then I said, That bitch!
 | 
| I went to see the doctor later on that day
 | 
| Cause when somethin is wrong, Jack, I don’t play
 | 
| The doctor came over, this is what he said:
 | 
| You can’t cure it with soup or layin up in your bed
 | 
| You’re lucky that you came to see me early, my man
 | 
| Cause I guess that you know that you got it, Shan
 | 
| I said, Well, my man, that only goes to show:
 | 
| Believe em when they tell you she’s the project ho |
