Name: Tenament
Duration: P00H03M38S
Description: A time when we looked around the world, and saw that things were getting dark for many in the population. The idea of ghettos in Oakland growing into violent centers was foremost in our minds with this song. AIDS was taking other sections of the population, We were seeing a great divide between the "have's and the have not's". Darkness Darkness.

lyrics

I live in a housing project
Its Black
And it is a hella mess
And life is just another Death
If you live where I live
You want to die...nothing to give
There is no post card here
I got cabin fever
There is only killer
I'm gone in this place
The people who live next door
They got a daughter who is a whore
Oh my god the sounds out loud
I'll the people in the ghetto I know
Oh god I wish I could go with the flow
Oh god I wish I could leave this place
Give up your rent to the landlord
All the girls in this place sell their souls
Cockroaches and all kind of bugs
Oh god..I'll just pee in the road
Oh god there is only fear
Of all those diseases in our rear
And with AIDS we have something new
All our friends are dead with that flu
Our aunt came to visit last week
She brought a disease that we didn't seek
Now we all have sores in our mouth
If you come to visit me
Be sure to bring some DDT
Spray yourself before you come to dine
Oh...I live Project Blues
