This Life

The Original Rudeboys This Life Lyrics
1.Stars In My Eyes

I'm seeing stars in my eyes, I can let them go
Everyday i'm caught daydreaming out the damn window
I wanna make it big someday see my name in lights.
So i'm ripping up these lyrics and drinking on these spirits,
Watch me flames ignite, Chea.

You'd see him busking on Grafton Street,
People never took a notice just passing see,
By all means he wasn't anything great but
As the months went on he start playing shit straight,
A broken Guitar & a wore out voice,
No Frank Sinatra but this kid was nice,
Melodies mixed with emotions he'd pour them out,
Not for the fame he'd explain but for food in his mouth,
He'd open up with his songs,
Hasn't a place to call home but knows music is where he belongs.
His world fades away while he embraces here,
He prays a brighter day but gets a taste of fear,
A rare talent nowadays in a greedy town came,
A fella that would amaze with a needed sound,
And he'd never compromise, See this fella
had the flame in his stomach and the stars in his eyes.

I'm seeing stars in my eyes, I can let them go
Everyday i'm caught daydreaming out the damn window
I wanna make it big someday see my name in lights.
So i'm ripping up these lyrics and drinking on these spirits,
Watch me flames ignite, Chea.

And it was back when the nights flew,
Who'd a thought nowadays he'd even like you,
Came from nothing, made a name in the scene,
Now your quoting Biggie Smalls like 'It was all a dream'
Flashbacks to the time spent learning your craft,
People laughed at your songs played out in your gaff
and now their hanging on your every line,
About time they notice and a shine to this kid in his prime,
No more knocking back pints hoping life improves,
Coping nice you choose, you weren't born to lose,
See this fella was the best,
H'ed have you hooked on every word while singing his worries off
his chest,
He'd just sing old songs of his life,
Give him a moment of your time and let him show you what it's
like and maybe then you'll realise,
That this fella has more than just the passion and
The stars in his eyes.

I'm seeing stars in my eyes, I can let them go
Everyday i'm caught daydreaming out the damn window
I wanna make it big someday see my name in lights.
So i'm ripping up these lyrics and drinking on these spirits,
Watch me flames ignite, Chea.

3.Sunny Days

Sunny days are shining, Nowhere else to be,
Sitting round just rhyming but your not here to see,
Drinking till the end, missing my old friend,
Drinking till the end, missing my old friend.

I got the phone call man it hit me hard that night,
Like somethings up, yiz have it wrong,
this shite can't be right,
Was only yesterday we talked about the lads and stuff,
The walks home from nights out looking nothing but rough,
See we'd be walking mad slow laughing the night away,
That by the time we got home the night had turned to day,
Me i'd be bitching bout birds and other stuff the like,
You'd just smile back and laugh saying shits alright,
The Bulmers light you said was your drink of choice,
Got me a bottle I was hooked that stuff was proper nice,
Had every second bird asking me who's your mate,
And i'd be proud as day to say that's me cousin he's great,
You had a way with the birds always hooking me up but
they were more into you always fucking me up,
Proper legend in this world I wish I just coulda showed ye,
Honoured to be your blood, I'm just happy I knowed ye.

Sunny days are shining, Nowhere else to be,
Sitting round just rhyming but your not here to see,
Drinking till the end, missing my old friend,
Drinking till the end, missing my old friend.

I think about ye every night like not a day goes by,
Or at times when i'm alone and no one knows quite why,
What I would do for a chance to see ye smile again,
Or reverse the hands of time to where it all began,
Now all i've got is pictures and memories of the past,
The only downside to life is that it's moving to fast,
So i'll miss you but let ye go to that unkown place,
Then all I hope is where you are,
you've got a smile on your face,
Bottle of Bulmers in hand pumping out this track,
Watching over your friends and family
and having their back,
Seeing the lads speak about ye and missing ye loads,
Doing the drunk walk home reminiscing on roads,
Or having free gaffs talking bout your jersey being framed,
Your only downfall was Arsenal you should be ashamed,
A proper legend in this world I wish I just coulda should ye,
Honoured to be your blood I'm just happy I knowed ye.

Sunny days are shining, Nowhere else to be,
Sitting round just rhyming but your not here to see,
Drinking till the end, missing my old friend,
Drinking till the end, missing my old friend.


4.Me And My Mind


5.Live Your Life

You gotta live your life just how you want it,
No regrets, dont wait around,
Just get up and keep on moving,
Cause you know the worlds not slowing down.
Keep your feet on solid ground,
Don't float away up in them clouds.
You can be what you wanna be,
Just keep that dream alive inside.

Would you chance it all, Take the risk one shot in life,
Or just carry on living playing it safe & nice,
They hate your voice, tell you that your skills are shite,
Knock you down so much you start to think they're right,
Your up all night, stuck about looking out for answers,
Talented lads or just another bunch of chancers.,
Negative views never brought us down,
3 inner city boys from the heart of town.
They don't rate it, going as far as to say they hate it,
And try their best to make sure we never make it,
The same folks on Facebook are saying we're great yeah,
Perfect example of a modern day snake chea,
So whats stoppin' you from chasing your goal,
Reversing the role and never looking back on the dole,
You've taking control, making life work in your favour,
No more money problems on the labour,
Starting to make a little sense of this life, a roll of the
dice,
Now things start paying off nice,
Have no regrets in this life you lead, Aim high and succeed
and give it all till the day that you leave.

You gotta live your life just how you want it,
No regrets, dont wait around,
Just get up and keep on moving,
Cause you know the worlds not slowing down.
Keep your feet on solid ground,
Don't float away up in them clouds.
You can be what you wanna be,
Just keep that dream alive inside.

Stuck in a four walled world, no sign of out,
Like were you ever good enough your own mind ye doubt,
Try to escape, going out, losing thoughts on the piss,
Even as drunks as ye get you know your better than this.
This can be life and if it is your not living,
in a world that just takes why don't people start giving,
Where real remains hidden and love is still missing,
Everyone has an opinion but no one seems to listen,
So i'ma tell it from the top of me lungs,
as the lyrics are poured out into the minds of the young,
Fresh guitar, mad strums, Ukuleles we brung,
Original Rudeboys there can only be 1,
So don't ever let them bring you down and if you do,
Always know the lads will bring the sound,
Have no regrets in this life you lead, Aim high and succeed
And give it all till the day that you leave.

You gotta live your life just how you want it,
No regrets, dont wait around,
Just get up and keep on moving,
Cause you know the worlds not slowing down.
Keep your feet on solid ground,
Don't float away up in them clouds.
You can be what you wanna be,
Just keep that dream alive inside.


6.Bringing Me Down

What've I done to you to make you feel this way bout me,
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up.

Story of your life kid,
Never thought you'd make it out alive like I did,
Believe me it wasn't easy growing up see,
She had some problems with her body throwing up she,
Was always picked in beating till she bruised up,
Tried to escape over eating to confused stuff,
She was respectable, he wasn't really feeling it,
But went along with him in hope of concealing it,
To fit in she lived a life of pretending,
You don't ever live a lie just to blend in,
Cause there's a thousand them but only one of you,
So make way step aside cause she's coming through,
Beautiful lady, eyes like an autumn sky,
And when them haters hate just keep walking by,
And they'll nag ye and slag ye still but,
You'll amount to more in life than they ever will.

What've I done to you to make you feel this way bout me,
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up.

He tried his best to fit in,
But wasn't given two minutes cause the colour of his skin,
Yeah he was different from everybody else,
Unique in his own way he stayed true to himself,
They'd name call from a distance,
The only time they'd ever truely acknowledge his real existence,
Was when they beat him and make him snap,
Because of the fact this chaps skin tone was black,
He'd take the long road home and clear tears in his eyes,
To avoid their racist ways and their basic lies,
Making noise, tryna make his life hell,
Feeling down, wondering who he might tell,
See his parents weren't really there for him,
So in his mind he's convinced no one would care for him,
And they'll try keeping ye under the weather man,
But stand up, stay strong and be the better man.

What've I done to you to make you feel this way bout me,
What've I done to you to make you feel that you hate me,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up,
Your just bringing me down,
And everytime they go bringing me down,
I just stay on up, thats whats up.

Story of your life kid, Never thought you;d make it out like I
did,
They won't bring me down today, no they won't bring me down
today.


7.Blue Eyes

You've got your bright blue eyes on me
when I hold you you'll believe
that maybe one day you will see
oh that you're beautiful

it all started as a dream
he would say how much you mean to him
yeah yeah yeah
his words would whisper in your heart
smiles would last right from the start
or so it seems baby
you paint these pictures in your head
perfect love is what he said
but the cracks have broke to broken pieces
slowly things begin to change
hard for you to feel the same
that his love has left you lost and lonely

You've got your bright blue eyes on me
when I hold you you'll believe
that maybe one day you will see
oh that you're beautiful
oh that you're beautiful
beautiful to me

he buys you make up just to make up
it makes sense to break up and escape it look
the way he leaves you
in a state broken and bruised
you tell your mates that hes great
but they read the clues
he's taken years from your face
and the signs have showed
that you were better than this
but still take the blows
a broken nose and a black eye
that were once blue
fooling yourself into thinking that he loves you
he shows affection only when your drying tears
far from perfection
a love thats been dying for years
only connections his fist
and the anger he bears
he'll bring ya down
and then convince ya he cares
but you can do better than that
and thats the truth
real talk way better than facts
don't ever let no man put his hands on ya
you're too good for that
don't ever stand for it

You've got your bright blue eyes on me
when I hold you you'll believe
that maybe one day you will see
oh that you're beautiful
oh that you're beautiful
beautiful to me

dont let him get you down
dont let him pull you around
dont let him get you down
dont let him pull you around

You've got your bright blue eyes on me
when I hold you you'll believe
that maybe one day you will see
oh that you're beautiful
oh that you're beautiful
beautiful to me

oh that you're beautiful
beautiful to me
