You can't get to Brooklyn
Riding on the uptown train
You're gonna be a crook
Until you stop dealing in cocaine
Still you provide for your family
Any way that you still can
And you remember when they told you
You would always be the man
The way we prey
On each other, on each other
Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me
You know the times are tougher
Tougher than they've ever been before
Because the streets are rougher
Rougher than the bedroom door
You try to change the weather
Even though you know it's a mistake
Because the heart's a soldier
Even though you know it's gonna break
The way we prey
On each other, on each other
Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me
It's a real tough life
When you're searching for ecstasy
Go on, show a little faith in me
Sometimes the path to freedom is
The one that no one else believes
Sometimes to rise above them
You have to get down on you knees
Try to pray
For each other, for each other
Go on, show a little faith in me
Go on, show a little faith in me
It's a real tough life
When you're searching for ecstasy
So go on, show a little faith
In me
