Verse 1
Dm
I'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow
I've got a habit for spitting
Quicker lyrics you know
A#
You found me ripping the writtens
Out of the pages they sit in
C
I never want to get bitten
C/C#
'Cause plagiarism is hidden
Dm
Watch how I sit on the rhythm
Prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label, but didn't listen
To any criticism
A#
Thought you knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
C
Studio is a system
C/C#
And you could say that I'm driven
Dm
And now it's on to the next saga
We drink the best lager
I never tried to win you over
Like your stepfather
A#
I do my own thing now, and get respect after
C C/C#
And I'm avoiding the 'caine like it was Get Carter
Dm
For four years I never had a place to stay
But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded like a paperweight
A#
At 16 years old, yeah I moved out of my home
C C/C#
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
Dm
I went from sleeping at the subway station
To sleeping with a Movie star and adding to the population
A#
Not my imagination, I don't wanna relax
C
Would it hurt your reputation
C/C#
If I put it on wax?
I'll take it back now
Chorus
Dm A#
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love,
C C/C# Dm
C'mon and take it back for us
A# C
Don't you fade into the back love
C/C#
No
Verse 2
Dm
I 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
A#
I'll make a beat with my feet by just hitting a loop,
C C/C#
Bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,
Dm
I give you the truth through the vocal booth,
Stars burst out on the scene like an opal fruit,
A#
They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot,
C C/C#
But then again that's what they're supposed to do,
Dm
And I'm supposed to be calm,
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm,
Whispering everything that happens is from now on,
A#
I'll be ready to start again by the end of the song,
C C/C#
Still they're claiming that I handled it wrong,
Dm
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,
A#
With only spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,
C C/C#
I'm healthier than a Dalmatian on Pedigree,
Dm
Singing for the masses,
Rubber dinghy rapids,
I keep this rapping a habit
A#
And keep on passioning magic,
I'm battling for respect,
I don't know if I'll have it,
C
This songs from the heart,
C/C#
Cover the planet
I'll take it back now
Chorus
Dm A#
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love,
C C/C# Dm
C'mon and take it back for us
A# C
Don't you fade into the back love
C/C#
No
Verse 3
Dm
Now I don't ever want to be perfect,
Cause I'm a singer that you
Never want to see shirtless
A#
And I accept the fact that someone's gotta win worst-dressed,
C
Taking my first steps into the scene,
C/C#
Giving me focus
Dm
Putting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change,
Thinking it was hopeless
A#
Rhyming over recordings
Avoiding tradition
C
Cause every day some lyrics
C/C#
And a melody can be written
Dm
Now absence can make your heart break
But drinking absinthe can change your mind-state, vividly,
I need to let my liver be
A#
And I say it again,
C
Living life on the edge,
C/C#
With a closed hand full of friends
Dm
Is good advice from a man
Who took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
A#
Cause that's how it's supposed to be
I'm screaming out vocally
C
It might seem totally impossible
C/C#
Achieving life's dreams
Dm
But, but I just write schemes
I'm never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans
A
Madison Square Garden is where I might be
But more likely,
C C/C#
You'll find me in the back
Dm
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
A
The way we were raised
Remembering our background
Sat down
C
That's how we plan it out;
C/C#
It's time to take it back now
Chorus
Dm A#
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love,
C C/C# Dm
C'mon and take it back for us
A# C
Don't you fade into the back love
C/C#
No
Dm A#
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love,
C C/C# Dm
C'mon and take it back for us
A# C
Don't you fade into the back love
C/C#
No
