One Way Street

Tommy was a young boy
When he lived next to me
His life was in danger
On the day he left the scene
They say he looked scared
Looked like he been playing the fool
His sweet ginger told me
He will and broke the golden rule
One day he's in heaven
The next day cold as hell
They say he was a gambler
He took your chance
He ring your bell
Tommy was rocker
He answer the call
On the day they try to punch his ticket
He's still standing tall

He couldn't hide his trace
He couldn't win the race

Rising up — feel the heat
Nothing's easy on this one way street
You running hard but you can't compete
'Cause nothing's easy
On this one way street

Late one night
With the gun in his hand
He try to take fly
He try to escape in a foreign land

He couldn't keep the pace
He couldn't win the race

Rising up — feel the heat
Nothing's easy on this one way street
You running hard but you can't compete
'Cause nothing's easy
On this one way street

Where you're going tommy
One way street
Is a dead end
You know it's just a dead end street

Rising up — feel the heat
Nothing's easy on this one way street
You running hard but you can't compete
'Cause nothing's easy
On this one way street
