This version of Stay Positive was released by The Streets in 2002.
Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to The Streets or about the 2000s in general.
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
Respect to BC
Positivity
Positivity
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
Just trying to stay positive
