You're a fish out of the water
On the wrong side of the tracks
Gather up the boys
To come and take your 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
Education
War in the streets
Catch one suck
and he gets beat
What you see
Is what you get
Soft, phony suckers
Will soon meet their end
On the wrong side of the tracks
On the wrong side of the tracks
It didn't take you long
to hear me sing the song
Cuz I'm the bad mother from the wrong
Side of the tracks
Yo! Hey I'm from around the way
You'd better not stray on the wrong
Side of the tracks
Ducking from the 5-0
Didn't know where to go
Never should have stepped on the wrong
Side of the tracks
Hey! yo cuz I'm good to go
I gotta get back from the wrong
Side of the tracks
Chorus:
Across the tracks
No one takes your back
Across the tracks
Across the tracks,
No one takes your back
Across your back
The boys in the gang
want to see me hang
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
