Lyrics

[00:38.950] I was the third brother of five Doing whatever I had to do to survive.
[00:44.130] I'm not saying what I did was alright'
[00:48.100] Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day
[00:52.380] Been down so long' getting up didn't cross my mind'
[00:57.380] I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
[01:01.820] You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
[01:05.690] Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.
[01:09.820] Across 110th Street'
[01:13.100] Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
[01:17.500] Across 110th Street'
[01:21.640] Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
[01:25.690] Across 110th Street'
[01:30.450] Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
[01:35.759] Across 110th Street'
[01:38.729] You can find it all in the street.
[01:45.220] I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
[02:04.730] Hey brother' there's a better way out.
[02:10.728] Snorting that coke' shooting that dope man you're copping out
[02:15.400] Take my advice' it's either live or die.
[02:19.350]
[02:20.400] You've got to be strong' if you want to survive.
[02:23.790] The family on the other side of town'
[02:28.100] Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
[02:32.540] In every city you find the same thing going down'
[02:36.600] Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.
[02:40.670] Across 110th Street'
[02:44.540] Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
[02:48.230] Across 110th Street'
