Stay Positive (Explicit) - The Streets
Cos this world swallows souls
And when the blues unfold
It gets cold silence burns holes
You're going mad
Perhaps you always were
But when things was good you just didn't care
This is called irony
When you most need to get up you got no energy
Time and time sh*t'll happen
The dark sh*t's unwrapping
But no-one's listening your mates are laughing
Your brethren's f**king and then you start hating
Your stomach starts churning and you mind starts turning
So smoke another draw
It won't matter no more but the next day still feels sore
Rain taps on your window
Always did tho but you didn't hear it when things were so-so
You're on your own now
Your little zone you were born alone
And believe me you'll die alone
W**d becomes a chore
You want the buzz back so you follow the others onto smack
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Feels nice and still
Good thing about brown is it always will
It's easy no-one blames you
It's that world out there that's f**ked you
You know less of a person and if God exists
He still loves you
Just remember that -
The more you sink the further back from that brink
Maybe you've lifetime scars
And you think tattoos might be more fitting
But who's picking
Searching for yourself you find demons
Try and be a freeman and grasp that talisman
Cos your the same as I am
We all need our fellow man
We all need our samaritan
Maybe I'm better looking than you tho
Maybe I've got more dough - but am I happier no
Get the love of a good girl
And your world will be much richer than my world
And your happyness will uncurl
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Stop dreaming
People who say that are blaspheming
They're doing nine to five and moaning
And they don't want you succeeding when theyve blown it
And you idols - who are they
They too dreamt about their day
Positive steps will see your goals
Whether it's dollars or control feel the gold
I ain't helping you climb the ladder
I'm busy climbing mine
That's how it's been since the dawn of time
If you reach a cul-de-sac
The world turns it's back
This is you zone it's like blackjack
He might get the ace or the top one
So organise your two's and three's into a run
Then you'll have f**ked him son
And for that you'll be the better one
One last thing before you go though
When you feel better tommorow you'll be a hero
But never forget today you could be back here
Things can stray
What if you see me in that window
You won't help me I know
That's cool just keep walking where you go
Carry on through the estate stare at the geezers
So they know you ain't lightweight
And go see your mates
And when they don't look happy
Play them this tape
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
I hope you understand me
Just trying to stay positive
I ain't no preaching f**ker
And I ain't no do-goody-goody either
This is about when sh*t goes pear-shaped
And if you aren't or ever have been at rock bottom
Then good luck to you in the big wide world
But remember that one day sh*t might just start crumbling
Your bird might f**k off or you might loose your job
It's when that happens that what
I'm talking about will feel much more important to you
So if you ain't feeling it
Just be thankfull that everythings cool in your world
