I was the third brother of five
Doin' whatever I had to do to survive
I ain't sayin' what I did was alright
Tryin' to break out of the ghetto was a day-to-day fight
Been down so long, givin' up never even crossed my mind
I could tell there was a better way of life I was just tryin' to find
You don't know what you do 'til you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a test
Across 110th Street
Pimp's tryin' to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pusher won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman tryin' to catch a trick on the street
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street
Hey, brother, there's a better way out
Snortin' that coke, shootin' that dope, man, you're copping out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You got to be strong if you want to survive
The family on the other side of town, woo, they're gonna catch hell
If there was not a ghetto around
You'd find the same thing going down, down, down
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto around
Across 110th Street
Pimp's tryin' to catch a woman that's weak
Across 110th Street
Pusher won't let the junkie go free
Across 110th Street
Woman tryin' to find a trick on the street
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street
