[Em] [A]
[Bm] I [Em] [F#m]
[Bm] [Em] was the [G] third brother beside [Em]
[Bm] doing whatever I had to do to survive.
[E] [D] [G] I'm not saying what I did was all right.
[D] Trying to break out of the [F#m] ghetto was a day-to-day [Em] fight.
Being down so long, getting up didn't cross my [Bm] mind.
I knew there was a better way of life and I was just trying to find.
[G] You don't know what you do until you [Em] put under pressure.
[Bm] Across 110th Street is a hell of a test.
[A] [G] Across [A] 110th Street,
[F#m] pimps trying to catch a woman [Bm] that's weak.
[G] Across [A] 110th Street,
[F#m] pushers won't let the [Bm] junkie go free.
[G] Across [A] 110th Street,
[F#m] woman crying to catch a [Bm] prick on the street.
[G] Across [A] 110th Street,
[F#m] you can find it [F#] all in the street.

[Bm] I got [D] one more thing I'd like [Em] to talk to you all about [G] right [F#m] now.
[Em] Hey brother, there's a better way out.
[Bm] Shorting that coke, shooting that dope, man you're copping out.
[Em] Take my advice and see the livid eye.
[Bm] You got to be strong if you want to [Em]
survive.
The family on the other side of town [Bm] will catch hell
if you find a ghetto around.
[Em] In every city you'll find the same thing going [G] down.
[Bm] Trying to move the capital of every ghetto town.
Let [G] me sing it.
