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

Take my advice, it's either live or die

You've got to be strong, if you want to survive

DmDm
The family on the other side of town

Would catch hell without a ghetto around
DmDm
In every city you find the same thing going down
A minorAm
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
DmDm
Help me sing it
