Verse 1Bm I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a flow
I've got a habit for spitting quicker lyrics, you know
You'll find me Gripping the writings out of the pages they sit in
I never Awant to get bitten cause plagiarism is hidden
Watch how I Bmsit on the rhythm, prisoner with the vision
Signed to a label but didn't listen to any criticism
Thought you Gknew but you didn't, so perk your ears up and listen
The studiAo is a system and you could say that I'm driven
And now it'sBm onto the next saga, we drink the best lager
I'll never try to win you over like your stepfather
G I'll do my own thing now and get respect after
A And I'm avoiding the 'caine like it was Get Carter
Bm 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 G16 years old, yeah, I moved out of my home
I was AMacy Gray, I tried to say goodbye and I choked
And went from sBmleeping at a subway station to
Sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population
Not my imagiGnation, I don't wanna relax
Would it hurt your repuAtation if I put it on wax? I'll take it back nowChorusBmMmmM, come on and take it back love
GCome Aon and take it back for Bmus
Don't you fade into the back, loveGohA
Verse III take it back with the Bmrhythm and blues
With my rap pack I'll be singing the news
Tryna act like Jack Black when I bring it to school
GI'll make a beat with my feet by just hitting a loop
ABringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes
BmI'll give you the truth through the vocal booth
And stars burst out on the scene like an Opal Fruit
They try to Gtake aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot
But then aAgain that's what they're supposed to do
And I'm supposed to be Bmcalm, I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering "everything that happens is from now on"
I'll be Gready to start again by the end of the song
And still they're Aclaiming that I handle it wrong
But then I've never had an Bmenemy except the NME
But I'll be selling twice as many copies as their magazines'll ever be
G With all these spectacles ahead of me and festival Afees
Are healthier than a dalmatian on Pedigree
Bm Singing for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids
I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning magic
GI'm battling for respect, I don't know if I'll Ahave it
This song's from the heart, covered the planet, I'll take it Bmback nowChorusBmMmmM, come on and take it back love
GCome Aon and take it back for Bmus
Don't you fade into the back, loveGohA
Verse IIIBmNow I don't ever wanna be perfect
Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless
And I aGccept the fact that someone's gotta win worst-dressed
Taking my Afirst steps into the scene, giving me focus
BmPutting on a brave face like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change, thinking it was hopeless
GRhyming over recordings, avoiding tradition
Cause every Aday some lyrics and a melody could be written
Now aBmbsence can make your heart ache but drinking Absinthe
Can change your mind state vividly, need to let my liver be
G And I'll say it again,
living life on the Aedge with a closed hand full of friends
It's good advice from the Bmman who took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
Cause that's how it's suGpposed to be, I'm screaming out vocally
It might seem Atotally impossible achieving life's dreams
But, Bmbut I just write schemes, I'm never having
A stylist giving me tight jeans
Madison Square GGarden is where I might be, but more likely
You'll find Ame in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
Having a Bmpint of McDaid's, discussing records we made
And every single second knowing that we'll never betray
The way we were Graised, remembering our background, sat down
AThat's how we plan it out, it's time to take it back nowChorusBmMmmM, come on and take it back love
GCome Aon and take it back for Bmus
Don't you fade into the back, loveGohA
BmMmmM, come on and take it back love
GCome Aon and take it back for Bmus
Don't you fade into the back, loveGohA
