Take It Back Flashcards
I’ve got a habit of spitting quicker lyrics
You know
I’m not a rapper
I’m a singer with a flow
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
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’ve never tried to win you over
Like your step father
I do my own thing now and get respect after
And I’m avoiding the Caine like it was Get Cater
For four years I’ve never had a place to stay
But it’s safe to say it’s 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 wanna relax
Would it hurt your reputation
If I put in on wax? I take it back now….
Mmmmmmmmm c’mon and take it back love
C’mon and take it back for us
Don’t you fade into the back love
No
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 me to school
I’ll make a bet with my feet
Just by hitting a loop
Bringing the lyrics to prove
That I can fit in these shoes
I give you the truth
Through the vocal booth
Stars burst out on the scene like an opal fruit
They try to take him like Beckham when he goes for the 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 this song
Still their claiming that I handled it wrong
But I never had an enemy
Except for the NME
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 masses
I keep this rapping a habit
And keep on fashioning magic
Im battling for respect, I don’t know if I’ll have it
This songs from the heart
Cover the planet, I take it back now
I take it back now
Now I don’t ever want to be perfect
Cause I’m a singer
That you never wanna see shirtless
And I accept the fact that someone 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 everyday some lyrics
And a melody can be written
Now absence can make your heart ache
But drinking absinthe can make your mind state, vividly
I need to let my liver be
And I say it again, living life of 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 supposed to be
I’m screaming out vocally
It might seem totally impossible
Achieving life’s dreams
But I just write schemes
I’ve never had a stylist giving me tight jeans
Madison square garden is where I might be
But more likely, you’ll find me out back
Room of a dive bar with my mates
Having a pint with mcdald
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
