Текст песни
По 110-ой улицеI 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,
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
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
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 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.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Я был третьим братом из пяти,
Делавшим всё, что придётся, чтобы выжить.
Я не говорю, что это было нормально –
Попытки выбраться из гетто были ежедневной битвой.
Поскольку я слишком долго находился внизу, возможность подняться даже не приходила мне в голову.
Я знал, что есть лучшая жизнь, которую я лишь пытался найти.
Ты не знаешь, что будешь делать, пока не окажешься под давлением.
На 110ой улице была лучшая проверка.
Вдоль 110ой улицы
Сутенеры, пытающиеся поймать слабых женщин,
Толкачи, не дающие прохода наркоманам,
Женщины, ловящие попутные грузовики -
Здесь ты можешь найти всё.
Есть ещё кое-что, что я хотел бы тебе сказать,
Брат, есть лучший путь отсюда –
Вдохнуть героина, застрелив того наркомана, которого ты приметил.
Выслушай мой совет – либо живёшь, либо умираешь.
Ты должен быть сильным, если хочешь выжить.
Семья на другом конце города
Живёт в аду и без всякого гетто.
В любом городе ты встретишь то же самое –
Гарлем – столица каждого гетто.
Перевод песни
Along 110th streetI 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,
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
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
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 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.
In every city you find the same thing going down,
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
I was the third brother of five,
Who did everything necessary to survive.
I'm not saying that it was normal -
Trying to get out of the ghetto was a daily battle.
Since I had been down for too long, the opportunity to rise did not even occur to me.
I knew that there was a better life that I was only trying to find.
You do not know what you will do until you are under pressure.
On 110th street was the best test.
Along 110th Street
Pimps trying to catch weak women
Pushers not giving way to drug addicts
Women catching backway trucks -
Here you can find everything.
There’s something else I’d like to tell you
Brother, there is a better way from here -
Breathe in heroin by shooting the addict you spotted.
Listen to my advice - either live or die.
You must be strong if you want to survive.
Family on the other side of town
Lives in hell and without any ghetto.
In any city you will find the same thing -
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto.
