You're a fish out of water on the wrong side of the tracks
Gather up the boys to come and get back
We stand all together against the opposed
We'll die for our brethren that we have chose
On the wrong side of the tracks
On the wrong side of the tracks
Escalation, war in the streets
Catch one sucker and he gets beat
What you see is what you get
Soft motherfuckers will soon meet their end
On the wrong side of the tracks
On the wrong side of the tracks
And when you're in fuckin' Brooklyn
You best watch your back
[Incomprehensible]
Took you damn long
To hear me sing this song
'Cause I'm the motherfucker from the wrong
(Side of the tracks)
Yo, hey, I'm from around the way
You'd better not stay on the wrong
(Side of the tracks)
Ducking from the 5-0
Didn't know where to go
Never should've stepped on the wrong
(Side of the tracks)
Hey, yo, 'cause I'm good to go
I gotta get back from the wrong
(Side of the tracks)
Across the tracks
No one takes your back
Across the tracks
Across the tracks
No one takes your back
Across the tracks
The boys in the gang
Wanna see me hang
Well, I had my bells rang on the wrong
(Side of the tracks)
Strapped, a broken pact
Caught in a trap on the wrong
(Side of the tracks)
Wrong or right, I had to fight
I ran for daylight to the right
(Side of the tracks)
A lesson to learn
When the tables are turned
You might get burned on the wrong
(Side of the tracks)
Across the tracks
No one takes your back
Across the tracks
Across the tracks
No one takes your back
Across the tracks
Across the tracks
No one takes your back
Across the tracks
Across the tracks
No one takes your back
Across the tracks
Across the tracks
Motherfucker
