I hear thunder
I hear thunder
Looks like the rain
Looks like the rain
Is gonna start falling
It's gonna start falling
Rain, falling from the sky
Rain falling from the sky
Rain, rain, rain, a wicked rain
Rain, rain, rain, a wicked rain
Falling from the sky
falling from the sky
Down, down, down, pouring down
Down, down, down, pouring down
Upon the night
upon the night
Well there's just one chance in a million
Well there's just one chance in a million
That someday we'll make it out alive
That someday we'll make it out alive
Rain, rain, rain an evil rain
Rain, rain, rain an evil rain
Falling all the time
Falling all the time
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Sun, sun, sun, sun
Don't you ever want to shine
Don't you ever want to shine
Well there'll be no light in the morning
Well there'll be no light in the morning
Till some peace at last we find
Till some peace at last we find
Like travelers in the darkness
Like travelers in the darkness
Can't see our way
Can't see our way
Trying hard to make it through
Trying hard to make it through
Another day
another day
Father, father, father
Father, father, father
Why do you let your sons go astray
Why do you let your sons go astray
Brother, brother, brother
Brother, brother, brother
Why must we go on this way
Why must we go this way?
There's a storm off in the distance
There's a storm off in the distance
And it looks like it's here to stay
And it looks like it's here to stay
I was the third brother of five
I was the third brother of five
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
Doing whatever I had to do to survive
I'm not saying what I did was alright
I'm not saying what I did was alright
Tryin' to break out of the ghetto
Tryin' to break out of the ghetto
Was a day to day fight
Was a day to day fight
Bein' down so long
Bein' down so long
Getting' up didn't cross my mind
Getting' up didn't cross my mind
But I knew there was a better way of life
But I knew there was a better way of life
And I was just tryin' to find
And I was just trying to find
You don't know what you're doin'
You don't know what you're doing
Till you're put under pressure
Till you're put under pressure
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Is a hell of a tester
Is a hell of a tester
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Pimps tryin' to catch a woman that's weak
Pimps tryin' to catch a woman that's weak
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
A woman tryin' to catch a trick on the street
A woman tryin' to catch a trick on the street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
You can find it all
You can find it all
Hey Brother, there's a better way out
Hey Brother, there's a better way out
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope
Snorting that coke, shooting that dope
Man, you're coppin' out
Man, you're coppin' out
Take my advice, it's either live or die
Take my advice, it's either live or die
You gotta be strong if you wanna survive
You gotta be strong if you wanna survive
The family up on the other side of town
The family up on the other side of town
Will catch hell if I don't get around
Will catch hell if I don't get around
In ev'ry city you'll find the same thing goin' down
In every city you'll find the same thing goin' down
Harlem is the capital of ev'ry ghetto town
Harlem is the capital of every ghetto town
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Pimps tryin' to catch a woman that's weak
Pimps tryin' to catch a woman that's weak
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Pushers won't let the junkie go free
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
You can find it all
You can find it all
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Let the sun, let the sun shine down
Let the sun, let the sun shine down
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Like travellers in the darkness
Like travelers in the darkness
Can't see our way
Can't see our way
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Trying hard to make it
Trying hard to make it
Make it through another day
Make it through another day
Oh, stop the rain
Oh, stop the rain
Somebody stop the rain
Somebody stop the rain
Across 100 and Tenth Street
Across 100 and Tenth Street
A little more love and a little less pain
A little more love and a little less pain
