Pretty project girl
Naive
But far from dumb
You've had to overcome many obstacles in life
Most can't even comprehend
The reality of where your from
You grew up in this house
I mean apartment
Within four walls
Surround by 10 other tenants
In theory it was a box
It was a trap
It was the projects
But this is where you slept
This where you ate
This where you and your four siblings played
Too young to understand that
You were just a small rodent
On a hamster wheel
That keeps repeating
The same cycle
The system has built
Pretty project girl
Naive
But far from dumb
You grew up to raise 3 children
In a house
I mean apartment
Within 4 walls
Surrounded by 10 other tenants
In theory it was a box
It was a trap
It was the projects
Realistically what can you expect
Your parents taught you about paying rent
Never exposed you to the concept of mortgage
Life spanned week to week
Check to check
Your physically free
But mentally malnourished
This is the reality of many pretty girls
From the projects
