Ooh ooh ooh Ooh-ooh

verse
E5
I was the third brother of five

B5
Doing what i could to survive

E5
I'm not saying what i did was alright

B5
Trying to break out of the ghetto is a day to day fight

E5
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,

B5
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find.

E5
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure,

B5
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.

chorus
G5 A5
Across 110th Street,

F#5 B5
Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak

G5 A5
Across 110th Street,

F#5 B5
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.

G5 A5
Across 110th Street,

F#5 B5
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.

G5 A5
Across 110th Street,

F#5
You can find it all in the street.

Ooh Ooh-ooh

B5 E5 F#5
I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.

(same chords as verse)
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've got to be strong, if you want to survive.

The family on the other side of town,
Would catch hell without a ghetto around.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town.
