I'm not a rapper;
I'm a singer with a flow
I've got a habit for spitting
Quicker lyrics you know
You found me ripping the writtens
Out of the pages they sit in
And never want to get bitten
Because plagiarism is hidden
Watch how I sit on the rhythm,
Prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label,
But didn't listen to any criticism
Thought you knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
Studio is a system
And you could say that I'm driven
And now it's on to the next saga
We drink the best lager
I never tried to win you
Over like your stepfather
I do my own thing now,
And get respect after
And I'm avoiding the cane
Like it was Get Carter
For four years I never had a place to stay
But it's safe to say
That it kept me grounded
Like a paperweight
At 16 years old
Yeah I moved out of my home
I was Macy Gray
I tried to say goodbye and
I choked
Went from sleeping
At the subway station,
Sleeping with a movie star
And adding to the population
Not my imagination,
I don't want to relax
But would it hurt your reputation,
If I put it on wax?
So take it back now...
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
Ooooh
Take it back with the rhythm and blues
And my back pack
I'll be singing the news,
Trying to act like Jack Black
When I bring 'em to school
I'll make a beat with my feet by
Just hitting a loop,
Bringing the lyrics to prove
That I can fit in these shoes,
And keeping the truth
Through the vocal booth,
Stars burst out on the scene
Like an opal fruit,
They try and take aim like Beckham
When he goes to shoot,
But then again
That's what they're supposed to do,
And I'm supposed to be calm,
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm,
Whispering everything
That happens is from now on,
I'll be willing to start again
By the end of the song,
Still they claim that I handled it wrong,
But then I never had an enemy,
Except for NME,
But I'll be selling twice as many copies
As the magazines will ever be,
With only spectacles ahead of me
And festival fees,
And healthier
Than a Dalmatian on pedigree,
Singing for the masses,
Rubber dinghy rapids,
Keep this rapping a habit
And keep on passioning magic,
I'm battling with respect,
I don't know if I'll have it,
This songs from the heart,
Cover the planet
I'll take it back now
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
Ooooh
Take it back now
I don't ever want to be perfect,
Cause I'm a singer that you
Never want to see shirtless
I accept the fact
That someone's got to win worst-dressed,
Taking my first steps into the scene,
Giving me focus
Putting on a brave face,
Like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change,
Thinking it was hopeless
Rhyming over recordings
Avoiding tradition
Cause every day some lyrics
And a melody can be written
Now absence can make your heart ache
But drinking absinthe
Can change your mind-state, vividly,
I need to let my liver be
And I say it again,
Living life on the edge,
With a closed hand full of friends
Is good advice from a man
Who took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him
Blowing up globally
Cause that's how it's supposed to be
I'm screaming out vocally
Might seem totally impossible
Achieving life's dreams
But, but I just write schemes
I'm never having a stylist,
Giving me tight jeans
Madison Square Garden
Is where I might be
But more likely,
You'll find me in the back
Room of a dive bar with my mates
Having a pint with McDaid
Discussing records we made
And every single second knowing
That we'll never betray
The way we were raised
Remembering our background
Sat down
That's how we plan it out;
It's time to take it back now
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
Ooooh
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
Ooooh
