[Verse 1]
Dm
I was the third brother of five
Am
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
Dm
I'm not saying what I did was alright
Am C/G Am
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight
Dm
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
Am
I knew there was a better way of life and I was just trying to find
Dm
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Am G
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester
[Chorus]
F G
Across 110th Street
Em Am
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
F G
Across 110th Street
Em Am
Pushers won't let the junkies go free
F G
Across 110th Street
Em Am
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh baby
F G
Across 110th Street
Em E7
You can find it all in the street, oh
[Break]
Am Dm Em
Ooooh....
Am Dm Em
I got one more thing I'd like to talk to you about right now
[Verse 2]
Dm
Hey brother, there's a better way out
Am
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man, you're copping out
Dm
Take my advice, it's either live or die
Am C/G Am
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive
Dm
The family on the other side of town
Am
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
Dm
In every city you find the same thing going down
Am G
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town, help me sing it
[Chorus]
F G
Across 110th Street
Em Am
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
F G
Across 110th Street
Em Am
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
F G
Across 110th Street
Em Am
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh baby
F G
Across 110th Street
Em E7
You can find it all in the street, oh
[Outro]
Am Dm Em
In the street, yes, you can, Oh, look around you, look around you, look around you
Am Dm Em
look around you, yeah
Dm7
