paroles de chanson Across 110th Street (Bobby Womack Master Cut) - Bobby Womack

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-oh-oh, yes
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 fight
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
But 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
Across 110th Street
Pimps tryin′ to catch a woman that′s weak, oh-oh
Across 110th Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free, oh-oh
Across 110th Street
Woman tryin′ to catch a trick on the street, ooh baby
Across 110th Street
You can find it all out in the street, yeah
Look around you, look around you, look around you, yes
I got one more thing I wanna talk to y'all about right now
Hey brother, there′s a better way out
Shooting that coke, snorting that dope, 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
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You′ve got to be strong if you want to survive
Across 110th Street
Pimps tryin′ to catch a woman that's weak, oh-oh
Across 110th Street
Pushers won′t let the junkie go free, oh-oh
Across 110th Street
Woman tryin' to catch a trick on the street, oh-oh
Across 110th Street
You can find it all in the street, yeah
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-oh-oh, yes
