Tommy the bad boy, such a bad kiddo
Hes living it up, no he ain't never going down
Straight A student, Parents they love him
Teachers they praise him, hes such a nice guy
Nights at the corners, hes making that money
Product is selling and the count is always right
Some say its one way, he goes the other
Boy, Tommy he ain't never going down
Ooh and they'll try, to show him why hes not alive
But if they'd know, hes such a smart boy
Ooo, he ain't coming down no way
Ooo, heaven can be hell to men
Now hes in college, with full scholarship
The Deacon he thinks he might become a senator
Now hes lieutenant, rockin the east end
Word on the streets is that hes close to a million
Nights at the corners, hes making that money
Product is selling and the count is always right
Some say its one way, he goes the other
Boy, Tommy he ain't never going down
Ooh and they'll try, to show him why hes not alive
But if they'd know, hes such a smart boy
Ooo, he ain't coming down no way
Ooo, heaven can be hell to men
Now hes in Yale, Never in jail
Parents they wonder, Teachers they wonder, the deacon he wonders, fiends wonder
Ooh and they'll try, to show him why hes not alive
But if they'd know, hes such a smart boy
Ooo, he ain't coming down no way
Ooo, heaven can be hell to men
