E- |d |c |a | 1st note 1/2 beat, 2nd note 3 1/2 beats)
Born on the south side, got my schoolin at the pool hall
Saturday night we get back to back, sunday mornin, wall to wall
Never seen nothing like it, people jumpin out of windows and going mad
Thats not half as bad as losin what you never had

Crime was on the rise when the bottom fell
Keepin poverty pocket high upon the hill
Back door you lock it, theyll break it still
