I was the third brother of five

Trying to break out of the ghetto was a day to day fight

Dm
Been down so long, getting up didn't cross my mind
Am
I knew there was a better way of life and I was just trying to find

F            G

I got one more thing I'd like to yell about right now

Verso
Dm
Hey brother, there's a better way out
Am
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope man, you're copping out
Dm
Take my advice, it's either live or die
Am                                             F Am
You've got to be strong, if you want to survive

Dm
The family on the other side of town
Am
Would catch hell without a ghetto around
Dm
In every city you find the same thing going down
Am
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Dm
Help me sing it
