Jersey - One Way St. Lyrics
More than a year's gone by since I lost my motherSince she left I've thought well what's the pointI've thought well I don't know what I'm doing hereWhat's the point if the meaning's not clear?But after crying, the clouds are clearingMy mother's teaching me to make a markYou see she, she lived with pride and she, spoke her mind andWhen she left, that's what she left behind[Chorus]The point we're missingIt's not what you had, it's how you livedThe point we're missingIt's who you were and what you didDon't need no diamond ringsDon't need to live like kingsAnd I still don't know what we're doing hereTry to make a mark and make my presence clearTo challenge right wing culture and move beyondLive for life, it's not too far goneExist or live, is time well spent?And once you start thinking then you'll know[Chorus]It's and Iconoclast, has your moment passed?There's time to make it rightYou've got to try and to try cause there's just no giving inI'm on the outside, on the outside looking inI saw the battle of a lifetimeAnd she tried, and we tried, and we're never giving inBecause I'll see you on the bright side[Chorus]It's how you live and it's who you wereIt's what you did...it's a one way street
