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

Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak

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, help me sing it
[Chorus]
