Lyrics The Streets

The Streets

Stay Positive

Cause 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 shit'll happen

The dark shit's unwrapping

But no-one's listening your mates are laughing

Your brethren's fucking 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 though 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

Weed 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 fucked 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

Cause your the same as I am

We all need our fellow man

We all need our samaritan.

Maybe I'm better looking than you though

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 happiness 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 they've 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 fucked 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 aint 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 fucker and I ain't no do-goody-goody either

This is about when shit goes pear-shaped

And if you aren't or never have been at rock bottom then good luck to you in the big wide world

But remember that one day shit might just start crumbling

Your bird might fuck off or you might lose 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 thankful that everything's cool in your world
