Sweet Riot
Labrinth Lyrics

Woah
An expression of excitement or surprise

We’re young and fresh
We are youthful and energetic

You know we don’t do that, we impress
We strive to make a good impression in all that we do

Yeah
An expression of agreement or confirmation

Yeah
An expression of agreement or confirmation

Wooh oooh, yeah [x4]
A chant or exclamation of excitement

Hey grandma, say what’s that noise
Asking an older person what they think of the commotion

It’s a lot of hot girls and a bag of boys
Explaining that there are many attractive people gathered

Come meet us, better join us now
Inviting the person to join in on the fun

Cause the city won’t sleep till we shut it down
Indicating that the party will continue until everyone is having a good time

Woah street life, it’s like I ain’t got no home
Describing a sense of belonging in the streets

We got speakers, and some cd decks
Mentioning the equipment for playing music

Now let’s go turn some heads
Let's grab attention and impress those around us

[Bridge:]
An interlude or transition

And take it to the street
Take the party out of doors

Kicking all of the doors down
Making a bold entrance that cannot be ignored

Nothin these can’t save us now
There is nothing that can stop us

Cause even grandma want to bounce
Even an older person wants to have fun with us

So let’s go crazy, yeah
Let's go all out and be wild

(O-o-over now)
Ending the interlude or transition

[Chorus:]
The main theme or refrain

When the beat snare’s drumming away
When the rhythm is strong

And the melody’s happy to play
And the harmony is joyful

Say DJ take it away
Asking the DJ to keep the party going with more music

Start a sweet riot in the city, yeah, uh huh huh
Starting a wild and fun party that everyone will enjoy

Sweet sweet riot, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Repeating the idea of starting a fun and energetic party

Start a sweet riot in the city, yeah, uh huh huh
Encouraging once again the idea of a fun party

Wooh ooh, yeah [x4]
A continuation of the chant or exclamation of excitement

And get stupid and pass it round
Let's loosen up and share the fun

Yeah that’s what community’s all about
That's the essence of a close-knit group

(We’re all in together now)
Reaffirming our unity and togetherness

Place the bass, and tell mum and dad give me that dubstep face
Setting up the sound and requesting for everyone to dance excitedly

And go oooh, so don’t you bluff there’s a little bit of crazy in all of us
Encouraging everyone to let go and have fun without reservation

And t-t-t-trust me, when we get down
Believing that everyone will have fun and dance wildly

There’s a party that will turn the street upside down
A party that will be so fun that it will create chaos

I know that you love me
Expressing self-confidence and assurance

See I know that you love me
Repeating the self-assurance

Yeah I know that you love me
Further self-assurance

Ohhh (and I ain’t done yet)
An expression of determination to continue the party

[Bridge:]
Another interlude or transition

Kicking all of the doors down
Once again making a grand entrance

You know I’m a sucker for trouble
Admitting to a love for excitement and danger

So this city will never sleep
Ensuring that the party will continue

Cause we’re too crazy
Repeating the reason for the wild party

(O-o-over now)
Ending the interlude or transition

[Chorus:]
A repeat of the main theme or refrain

When the beat snare’s drumming away
Repeating the importance of the strong rhythm

And the melody’s happy to play
And the joyous harmony

Say DJ take it away
Requesting the DJ to keep the party going

Start a sweet riot in the city
Once again encouraging a fun party

Sweet sweet riot, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
A repetition of the idea of a wild party

Sweet sweet riot, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Another repetition of the idea of a fun-filled party

Sweet sweet riot, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
Yet another repetition of the idea of a crazy party

Sweet riot in the city uh huh huh
Reaffirming the fun party one more time

Let’s get a little crazy baby
Encouraging everyone to have more fun

I’m losing my mind
Admitting to the feeling of losing oneself in the party

Always tryna play it safe
Mentioning the usual caution in life

Now it’s time to fly
Now it's time to break free and have more fun

Doubting, going, over the edge
Going beyond one's limits and having fun without restraint

Doubting, going, over the edge
Repeating the idea of going beyond one's limits for the sake of enjoyment

So my fellow friends and citizens
Addressing those who are present and sharing the same community

In the name of our originators
Honoring those who came before us

We rise against the machine
Challenging the norms and expectations of society

(We rise against the machine)
Repeating the idea of defying expectations

And take what’s rightfully ours
Claiming what is deserved by people

(And take what’s rightfully ours)
Emphasizing the rightfulness of the claim

The moshpit generation, lets go
A call to action to a specific group of people who enjoy the music and lifestyle of moshpits

[Chorus:]
A final repetition of the main theme or refrain

When the beat snare’s drumming away
Repeating the importance of the strong rhythm

And the melody’s happy to play
And the joyful harmony

Say DJ take it away
Requesting the DJ to keep the party going

Start a sweet riot in the city
A last call to action to start a fun party

Sweet sweet riot, uh huh huh, uh huh huh, uh huh huh
A final repetition of the idea of starting a wild and enjoyable party
