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
