One Shot - The Brotherhood

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!

Now in my early days I was a wild smoking tiles

Little ignoramus talking heinous

Who the Hell could blame us?

Miscellaneous no fun done to be had

So I acted mad, drinking Thunderbirds with the lads

Take a the bee’s knees

Me and my friend, P, the world was our oyster

Thought we had the flavour like Royster’s

Wishing for the roughneck creps walking roughneck steps

Kept our pockets light, running in the night

Spray can in the hand spray of chrome, then I’m home at first light

Right, P was the but went through a

Was the childhood scum snooker balls in a sock

But, while I was just a dazed, crazed, individual

P was standing vigil of visions of the criminal

Subliminal, gotta get the cash

Gotta get the corn, gotta sell the hash

Gotta get myself some

Changed the norm from the school yard

The fool yard

Acting like a gangster

We talked like Humphrey Bogart

Oh God, my God tried to get through

Turn myself blue 'cause he’s got a new crew

One, two, years later, making music for the brain

I heard the word out on P that he was on the cane

Insane, excuse my cynicism

Because my ex-best friend is doing 7 years in prison

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!

My mum was on my case about

Several years down the road

Boy, I’m getting mad pay

No longer robbing, stealing, bugging

I tryna see 'nuff heads jumping

Early skulduggery

You’ll be in a whole heap of fuckery

Born and raised in the naked city

Chalkhill was alive, with the sound of music

As a lickle yute the Babylon was in pursuit

I’m blessed with the ill skills that keep me out of jail

nightmare

'Cause I’ll be sailing on the breeze, indeed

If I see the judge I’ll

He tried to get me locked up

So what’s up, he’s fucked up

To all my friends are harder it is a big up (Big up!)

You’ll be back soon

I move back on the streets, going on bang, zoom

Old habits die hard with Willis

No more juries that are vexed

Because they’ve got to listen to this

Petty larceny, in the dock, feeling smarmy

Just got the squeeze, the Old Bill’s going barmy

I took to rhyming, and everybody’s smiling

And I reminisce about the days I was wiling

Your pockets I’ll be going through

«Just stand still, pussyboy, don’t move»

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!

One shot’s all you got at this life

Caused ‘nuff strife but now you under the knife

You could’ve should’ve gone a different way before you lost the whole plot

Blinded by the flash of one shot

One shot!
