ACROSS 110TH STREET （110番街交差点）
ACROSS 110TH STREET
" by BOBBY WOMACK ===================
I 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
Across 110th Street,
Pushers won't let the junkie go free.
Across 110th Street,
Woman trying to catch a trick on the street.
Across 110th 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.
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,
A woman trying to catch a trick on the street, ouh baby
Across 110th Street,
You can find it all in the street.
Yes he can, oh
Look around you, just look around you,
Look around you, look around you, uh yeah.

5人兄弟の3番目
生きるために何でもやった
悪いことだってやったさ
ｹﾞｯﾄｰを抜け出す戦いだ
落ち込んで元気が出なかった
ましな生き方を探してるんだ
何をすべきかやっと気づいた
110番街交差点は別れ道
110番街交差点
ﾋﾓ野郎が女を狙っている
110番街交差点
ﾔｸ中は売人どもの奴隷
110番街交差点
女が抜け目なくﾁｬﾝｽを狙う
110番街交差点
通りには全てがある
全てあんたに話しておきたい
兄弟他にもいい方法がある
ﾔｸをやれば楽になれるぜ
生きるか死ぬか自分で選べ
生き残りたいなら強くなれ
街の反対側のお上品な連中は
ｹﾞｯﾄｰを目の敵にしている
どの街でも同じことが起きてる
ﾊｰﾚﾑ地区は争いの中心
すべてがあるんだ
110番街交差点
ﾋﾓ野郎が女を狙っている
110番街交差点
ﾔｸ中は売人どもの奴隷
110番街交差点
女が抜け目なくﾁｬﾝｽを狙う
110番街交差点
通りには全てがある
周りを見てみろ、ちょうど、ほら
周りを見てみろ、周りを見てみろよ。Uh, Year.
==================
110番街の交差点。
それは、白人と黒人の境界。
それは、富豪と貧困の境界。
それは、ジャンキーとの境界。
この曲は、同名の映画のために作曲されたのだが、原作はまだ観た事が無い。
久しぶりに、映画「ジャッキー・ブラウン
」を観て。サントラ
が気に入った。この街も、あなたの周りにも・・・
110番街の交差点があるだろうさ。
