Sing It (The Life of Riley)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] See, it all started with my dad If he rated anythin', I always hated it, yeah With one catch the beauty of life He played Grandmaster Flash and The 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 pumping out, "Jump Around" To Rage Against Machine or "Fuck the Police" By NWA, we played the Gravediggaz To Nirvana and 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 [Hook] Sing along, they sing along A new day, a new dawn A place to forget about the world you're on And get the whole crowd sing along, they sing 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 [Verse 2] It all started as a young'n, hangin' around at Hunter's flat Once where the warriors and monsters rapped I sat back takin' 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 ninety-nine I had an I.D Only seventeen but sayin' I was nineteen Hide when the cops would rock in Nothing could stop me watching, I wouldn't give in 'Cause from the beginnin', I was livin' for the sound When you walk into a room and the whole crowd singing along [Hook] They sing along, they sing along A new day, a new dawn A place to forget about the world you're on And get the whole crowd sing along, they sing 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 [Verse 3] 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 to 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 [Hook] Sing along, they sing along A new day, a new dawn A place to forget about the world you're on And get the whole crowd sing along, they sing 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
