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

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

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
