Across 110th Street Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Womack

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh 

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh 

I was the third brother of five 

Doing whatever I had to do to survive 

I'm not saying what I did was all right 

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 trying to catch a woman that's weak 

Across 110th Street 

Pushers won't let the junkie go free 

Across 110th Street 

Woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby 

Across 110th Street 

You can find it all in the street 

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh 

I got one more thing I'd like to talk to y'all about right now 

Hey, brother, there's a better way out 

Snorting that coke, shooting 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 upper side of town 

Would catch hell without a ghetto around 

In every city you'll find the same thing going down 

Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town 

Help me sing it 

Across 110th Street 

Pimps trying to catch a woman that's weak 

Across 110th Street 

Pushers won't let the junkie go free 

Oh, across 110th Street 

A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ooh, baby 

Across 110th Street 

You can find it all 

In the street 

Yes, you can 

Oh, look around you, look around you 

Look around you, look around you 

Yeah 

Yeah 

Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh
