Streets - Stay Positive lyrics

rate me

Cos this world swallows souls<br />

And when the blues unfold<br />

It gets cold, silence burns holes.<br />

You're going mad<br />

Perhaps you always were?<br />

But when things was good you just didn't care.<br />

This is called irony.<br />

When you most need to get up you got no energy<br />

Time and time shit'll happen<br />

The dark shit's unwrapping<br />

But no-one's listening your mates are laughing<br />

Your brethren's f*@king and then you start hating.<br />

Your stomach starts churning and you mind starts turning.<br />

So smoke another draw<br />

It won't matter no more but the next day still feels sore<br />

Rain taps on your window<br />

Always did though but you didn't hear it when things were so-so<br />

You're on your own now<br />

Your little zone you were born alone and believe me you'll die alone.<br />

Weed becomes a chore<br />

You want the buzz back so you follow the others onto smack.<br />

<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

<br />

Feels nice and still.<br />

Good thing about brown is it always will<br />

It's easy, no-one blames you<br />

It's that world out there that's f*@ked you<br />

You know less of a person and if God exists<br />

He still loves you.<br />

Just remember that - the more you sink the further back from that brink.<br />

Maybe you've lifetime scars and you think tattoos might be more fitting<br />

But who's picking?<br />

Searching for yourself you find demons.<br />

Try and be a freeman and grasp that talisman.<br />

Cos your the same as I am<br />

We all need our fellow man<br />

We all need our Samaritan.<br />

Maybe I'm better looking than you though<br />

Maybe I've got more dough - but am I happier... no.<br />

Get the love of a good girl and your world will be much richer than my world<br />

And your happiness will uncurl.<br />

<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

Just trying to stay positive.<br />

<br />

Stop dreaming.<br />

People who say that are blaspheming.<br />

They're doing nine to five and moaning.<br />

And they don't want you succeeding when they've blown it<br />

And your idols - who are they?<br />

They too dreamt about their day<br />

Positive steps will see your goals.<br />

Whether it's dollars or control, feel the gold.<br />

I aint helping you climb the ladder<br />

I'm busy climbing mine.<br />

That's how it's been since the dawn of time.<br />

If you reach a cul-de-sac<br />

The world turns it's back<br />

This is you zone, it's like blackjack<br />

He might get the ace or the top one<br />

So organise your two's and three's into a run then you'll have f@cked him son<br />

And for that you'll be the better one<br />

One last thing before you go though.<br />

When you feel better tomorrow you'll be a hero<br />

But never forget today, you could be back here<br />

Things can stray.<br />

What if you see me in that window?<br />

You won't help me I know.<br />

That's cool, just keep walking where you go.<br />

Carry on through the estate, stare at the geezers so they know you aint lightweight<br />

And go see your mates<br />

And when they don't look happy<br />

Play them this tape<br />

<br />

Just trying to stay positive<br />

Just trying to stay positive<br />

Just trying to stay positive<br />

Just trying to stay positive<br />

<br />

I hope you understand me?<br />

I aint no preaching fucker and I aint no do-goody-goody either.<br />

This is about when shit goes pear-shaped<br />

And if you aren't or ever have been at rock bottom then good luck to you in the big wide world.<br />

But remember that one day shit might just start crumbling<br />

Your bird might f@ck off or you might loose your job<br />

It's when that happens that what I'm talking about will feel much more important to you<br />

So if you aint feeling it, just be thankful that everything's cool in your world<br />

Respect to BC<br />

<br />

Just trying to stay positive<br />

Just trying to stay positive<br />

Just trying to stay positive<br />

Just trying to stay positive
