Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Darker than a child's deepest sleep

And into his mind she creeps

In this world of lies and confusion

She's the only thing not clouded by illusions

The pain of everyday life is hidden

in the blackness of our skin

He searches to find peace within

He finds love in the blackness of her skin

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love, baby

Step (Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step into (Step into)

Step into the projects where I found

Right back to the ghetto

Serenaded by the violence outside my 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 (Blackness of her mind)

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step into (Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step (Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

Step into the projects where I found love

Step into the projects where I found love

(Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

(Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

Straight from the womb

Right smack dab in the middle of

Poverty, insecurity

No one to motherfuckin' save me

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

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step into (Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

Step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step, step into (Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

Step into the projects where I found love

(Step into)

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love

Step, step, step into (Step into)

Step into the projects where I found

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 that's sweet like sugarcane

Step, step into

Step into the projects where I found love
