[Am] [Dm] [Em]

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

Across 110th Street

You can find it all in the street, oh

Outro

look around you, yeah
