Across 110th Street

歌詞

I was the third brother of five Doing whatever I had to do to survive I'm not saying what I did was all right Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day-to-day fight Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind But I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester Across 110th Street Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak Across 110th Street Pushers won't let the junkie go free Across 110th Street Woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby Across 110th Street You can find it all in the street I got one more thing I'd like to talk to y'all about right now Hey, brother, there's a better way out Snorting that coke, shooting that dope, man, you're copping out Take my advice, it's either live or die You got to be strong if you want to survive The family on the upper side of town Would catch hell without a ghetto around In every city you'll find the same thing going down Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town Help me sing it Across 110th Street Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak Across 110th Street Pushers won't let the junkie go free Oh, across 110th Street A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby Across 110th Street You can find it all In the street Yes, you can Oh, look around you, look around you Look around you, look around you Yeah Yeah
