Lyrics

He was born, on the wrong side of town
But Lionel never let it bring him down
They said he was never going to make it
If you know the law he?s gonna break it

He learned to be savvy and streetwise
Watching the stunts from the older guys
But he would always do what?s right
Never turned his heart or hand to fight

He thought a better way
He saw the light of day
Always travelling on and having fun
Never thinking he was the lonely one


Lionel would lend a hand where he could
Helping friends and always doing good
He had to learn how to take it like a man
Life can be tough when you take a stand

His family ups and moved across the town
To better neighborhood with mates all around
He turned to fun and jest but could be so polite
It gave purpose to playing his cards all right
Chorus
Those days have done him good and proud
To do your own thing, don?t join the crowd
Always travelling on and having fun
Never thinking he was the lonely one
