Chords
[Verse 1]
Dm7 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 Bb5ripping the written out of the pages they sit in
And I never C5want to get bitten
'Cause plagiaC#dim7rism is hidden
Watch how I Dm7sit on the rhythm
Prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label
But didn't listen to any criticism
Thought you Bb5knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
StudiC5o is a system
And you could C#dim7say that I'm driven
And now it'sDm7 onto the next saga
We drink the best lager
I'll never try to win you over like your stepfather
Bb5 I do my own thing now
And get respect after
C5 And I'm avoiding the 'caine C#dim7
Like it was Get Carter
Dm7 For four years I never had a place to stay
But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded
Like a paper weight
At Bb5sixteen years old yeah I moved out of my home
I was C5Macy Gray I tried to say goodC#dim7bye and I choked
[Pre-Chorus]
Went from D5sleeping at a subway station
To sleeping with a movie star
And adding to the population
Not my imagiBb5nation
I don't wanna relax
Would it hurt your repuC5tation if I put it on wax? C#dim7
I take it back now
[Chorus]
Dm7Mmmm come on and take it back, love
Bb5 Come C5on and take it C#dim7back for us Dm7
Don't you fade into the back, love
Bb5 No C5 C#dim7
I take it back with the rhyDm7thm and blues
[Verse 2]
With my rap pack I'll be singing the news
Tryna act like Jack Black
When I bring it to school Bb5
I make a beat with my feet
By just hittin' the loop
C5Bringing the lyrics to prove
C#dim7That I can fit in these shoes
Dm7 I give you the truth through the vocal booth
And stars burst out on the scene
Like an opal fruit
They try to Bb5take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot
But then aC5gain that's what they're supposed to do C#dim7
And I'm supposed to be calm Dm7
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering everything that happens
Is from now on
I'll be Bb5ready to start again
By the end of the song
This is like C5claiming I handled it wrong C#dim7
But then I've never had an D5enemy
[Pre-Chorus]
Except the NME but I'll be selling
Twice as many copies as their magazines'll ever be
Bb5 With only spectacles ahead of me
And festival feesC5 are healthier than a DalC#dim7matian on Pedigree
D5 Singing for the masses rubber dingied rapids
I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning maBb5gic
I'm battling for respect and I don't know if I have C5it
This song's from the heart C#dim7cover the planet
I take it Dm7back now
[Chorus]
Mmmm come on and take it back, love
Bb5 Come C5on and take it C#dim7back for us Dm7
Don't you fade into the back, love
Bb5 No C5 C#dim7
And take it back now
[Verse 3]
Dm7 Now I don't ever wanna be perfect
'Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless
And I acBb5cept the fact that someone's got to win worst dressed
Taking my C5first steps into the sceneC#dim7 giving me focus
Dm7Putting on a brave face like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change thinking it was hopeless
RhyBb5ming over recordings, avoiding tradition
'Cause every C5day some lyrics and a meloC#dim7dy could be written
Now abDm7sence can make your heart ache
But drinking absinthe can change your mind state
Vividly need to let my liver be
Bb5 And I'll say it again living life on the edgeC5 with a close handful of friends C#dim7
Is good advice from the manD5 that took his life on the road with me
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
'Cause that's how it's supBb5posed to be
I'm screaming out vocally
It might seem C5totally impossible aC#dim7chieving life's dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
But,Dm7 but I just write schemes
I'm never having a stylist giving me tight jeans
Madison Square GarBb5den is where I might be
But more likely
You find me
C5In the back room of a C#dim7dive bar with my mates
Having a Dm7pint with McDaid
Discussing records we made
And every single second knowing
That we'll never betray
The way we were Bb5raised
Remembering our background
Sat down,
C5 That's how we plan it out
It's C#dim7time to take it back now
[Chorus]
Dm7Mmmm come on and take it back, love
Bb5 Come C5on and take it C#dim7back for us Dm7
Don't you fade into the back, love
Bb5 No C5 C#dim7
Dm7Mmm come on and take it back, love
Bb5 Come C5on and take it C#dim7back for us Dm7
Don't you fade into the back, love
Bb5 No
C5 C#dim7 Dm
