Sing It (The Life Of Riley)

See, it all started with my dad

If he rated anything, I always hated it, yeah

With one catch the beauty of life

He played Grandmaster Flash and Furious Five

It was the message and I guess that meant more

Than anything I was given from him, maybe the rhythm within

Or given my similar sisters

Livin' for the resistance, we'd listen

To systems pumpin' out, jump around

To Rage Against The Machine, to Fuck The Police by NWA

We played the Gravediggaz

And Nirvana's Smelling Like Teen Spirit

And they sing it with every little bit

Of last breath that is in them

Yes and they listen, yes and they love it

Yes and they live it, yes, they

Singing along, they singing along

A new day, a new dawn

A place to forget about the world you're on

And get the whole crowd

Singing along, they singing along

You can't change it, it's set in stone

And I ain't saying we need to get along

Just let the whole crowd sing it

It all started as a young'n, hanging around at Hunter's flat

Once where the warriors and monsters rapped

I sat back taking it in, destined to win it

Had all of SBX as my next of kin

It was a blessing that manifested

From being a guest on Done DL

That and the help from the Hydey

In '99 I had an I.D.

Only seventeen, but saying I was nineteen

Hide when the cops would rock in

Nothing could stop me watchin', I wouldn't give in

'Cause from the beginning, I was living for the sound

When you walk into a room and the whole crowd singing along

They singing along, they singing along

A new day, a new dawn

A place to forget about the world you're on

And get the whole crowd

Singing along, they singing along

You can't change it, it's set in stone

And I ain't saying we need to get along

Just let the whole crowd, sing it

Well, well, look what we got here

We here to lock ears like ruggedous rottweilers

And well, then why would I stop here?

The day I stopped hearing the haters, it got clearer

And I'm feared as a bearded Ned Kelly

If I would stop selling could never just stop telling 'em my story

Pauly walked up in here with nothing

Enough never trust another loving Jimmy Loughnan

'Cause I got these friends that will stick around

If it ever ended, were there in the beginning

And then these friends in the crowd I'm surrounded by

Together we all

Singing along, we singing along

A new day, a new dawn

A place to forget about the world you're on

And get the whole crowd

Singing along, they singing along

You can't change it, it's set in stone

And I ain't saying we need to get along

Just let the whole crowd sing it
