Title:Across 110th Street
Artist:Bobby Womack
Album:Jackie Brown
I was the third brother of five,
Doing whatever I had to do to survive.
I'm not saying what I did was alright,
Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind,
I knew there was a better way of life that I was just trying to find
You don't know what you'll do until you're put under pressure
Across 110th Street is a hell of a tester.
[02:58.57][02:48.39][02:39.07][01:36.75][01:27.94][01:17.98][01:10.23]Across 110th Street,
[01:13.93]Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak
[01:22.76]Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
[01:41.40]You can find it all in the street.
I got one more thing I'd like to y'all about right now.
Hey brother, there's a better way out.
Snorting that coke, shooting that **** 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.
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Yes he can, oh
Look around you, just look around you,
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah
