The writing prompt was opposite pairs. Speak and listen are the most important opposites in this song.
Everybody wants to be somebody
Everybody wants to be somebody
The best thing is to be your own body
Two way street
Speak and listen speak and repeat
Listen to your head listen to your feet
You create yourself with the words that you speak
Two way street
I got the answer ’cause I’m asking the question
I found the teacher now I’m learning the lesson
You’ll get the wisdom Eastern and Western
Two way street
Everybody wants their place in the sun
Everybody wants to be number one
Gotta feel the feelings ’cause that’s how it’s done
Two way street
Move your body around and around
Move your body up and down
You’ve got the rhythm ’cause you’re hearing the sound
Two way street
Everybody wants to be somebody
Everybody wants to be somebody
The best thing is to be your own body
Two way street
Two way street
Two way street
Two way street

"Eastern and Western" yeah. The "two way street" hook is a nice front cover for this bookful of advice.

Fun play with words, and good groove!

"You create yourself with the words that you speak" is a great line. So many solid nuggets of live advice in here and "two-way street" is a catchy hook. This is a jam.

Love your take on the prompt with this one. Great advice to listen to your own body and to trust yourself. “Two Way Street” is an excellent hook musically & lyrically.

I love that you do videos! Two way street - nice take on the skirmish. Really liked the lines "I got the answer ’cause I’m asking the question
I found the teacher now I’m learning the lesson".

Cool acoustic funk! The guitar and your singing sound great, with lots of propulsive groove. The lines in the opening refrain - "Everybody wants to be somebody / The best thing is to be your own body" - is really terrific.
