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
I never want to get bitten 'cause plagiarism is hidden
Watch how I sit on the rhythm
prisoner with a vision
Signed to 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'll never try 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
I went from sleeping at a subway station to sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population
Not my imagination, I don't want to relax
would it hurt your reputation
if I put it on wax?
So take it back now...
MmmmMmmMmMmmm
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
NooOooo
I'll take it back with the rhythm and blues
with my rap 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
I'll give you the truth through the vocal booth
and stars burst out on the scene like an opal fruit
they try to 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 ready to start again, by the end of the song
and still they claiming that I handled it wrong
but then I never had an enemy, except the 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
are healthier than a Dalmatian on pedigree
singing for the masses
rubber dinghy rapids
I keep this rapping a habit
and keep on fashioning magic
I'm battling for respect
and I don't know if I'll have it
this songs from the heart
cover the planet
I'll take it back now
MmMmm
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
NoOoooo
and take it back now
Now I don't ever wanna be perfect
'cause I'm a singer that you
never wanna see shirtless
and I accept the fact that someone's gotta 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 days are lyrics and a melody can be written
Now absence can make your heart ache
But drinking absinthe can change your mind-state, vividly
need to let my liver be
And I say it again
Living life on the edge
with a close 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
It 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
MmmmMmmMmMmmm
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back love
NooOoooo
MmmmMmmMmMmmm
C'mon and take it back love
C'mon and take it back for us
