Sing It (the Life Of Riley) Lyrics


See, it all started with my dad
If he rated anything i always hated it
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
Living for the resistance living with them we'd listen
To systems pumpting out
Jump around, to Rage Against Machine
To fuck the poilce by NWA... we played the Grave Diggers
To Nirvanna's 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
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 youngen, hanging around at Hunter's flat
Once where the warriors and monsters rapped
I sat back taking it in - destine to win it
Had all of SBX as my next 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 17 but saying i was nineteen
Hide when the cops would rock in
Nothing could stop me watching 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
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
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 my friends in the crowd i'm surrounded by, together we all sing it
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

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Drapht (born Paul Ridge) is a solo hip-hop Emcee from Perth, Western Australia. His father, Gary Ridge, a jazz drummer, introduced Drapht to music at a very young age. Paul had his first taste of hip hop at the age of eight. The name Drapht is based on a Swan Brewery beer, Swan Draught, which was displayed on a watch that his father brought home when he was 13 or 14.

Drapht attended Perth Modern School in Subiaco but was not involved in the school's music program. At school, he became friends with Damien Allia (aka DJ Armee) who introduced him to hip hop via gigs at the Hyde Park Hotel.
