Take It Back

Dm
I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with 
a flow
I've got a habit of spitting
quicker lyrics you know
             Bb
You found me ripping the writtens
out of the pages they sit in
          C
I never want get bitten,
             C#m7M
because plagiarism is hidden
              Dm
Which I would sit on the rhythm ,
prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label, but didn't listen 
to any criticism
            Bb
Thought you knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
C
Studio is a system
                          C#m7M
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
Bb
I do my own thing now, and get 
respect after
C                      C#m7M
And I'm avoiding the cane 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
   Bb
At 16 years old yeah I moved out of 
my home
      C                        
I was Macy Gray I tried to say 
C#m7M
goodbye and
I choked
           Dm
And went from sleeping at the subway
 station, sleeping with a movie star
 and adding to the population
             Bb
Not my imagination, I don't want to 
relax
                            C
Would it hurt your reputation,
               C#m7M
if I put it on wax?
I take it back now

Refrão:
Dm
Mmh Mmh Mmh Mmh
                            Bb
Come on and take it back now
     C              C#m7M        Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Dm                              Bb
Don't you fade into the back love,
  C    C#m7M
nooooohh

Verso 2:
                      Dm
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
Bb
I'll make a beat with my feet just 
by hitting a loop,
C                       C#m7M
bringing the lyrics to prove that I 
can fit in these shoes
Dm
And keeping the truth through the 
vocal booth,
stars burst out on the scene like an
 opal fruit,
            Bb
they try to take aim like beckham 
when he goes to shoot,
         C
but then again that's what they're 
supposed to do,
C#m7M
and I'm supposed to be calm ,
      Dm
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm , 
whispering everything that happens 
is from now on,
        Bb
I'll be willing to start again by 
the end of the song,
             C               
still they're claiming that I 
            C#m7M
handled it wrong,
Continúa después del anuncio
                         Dm
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,
Bb
with only spectacles ahead of me and
 festival fees,
C                    C#m7M
healthier than a Dalmatian on 
pedigree,
Dm
singing for the masses,
rubber dinghy rapids,
I keep this rapping a habit
and keep on passioning magic,
Bb
I'm battling with respect,
                        C
I don't know if I'll have it,
                  C#m7M
this songs from the heart,
cover the planet
I'll take it back now

Refrão:
Dm
Mmh Mmh
                           Bb
Come on and take it back now
     C             C#m7M           
Come on and take it back for us
Dm

Dm                               Bb
Don't you fade into the back love,
  C    C#m7M
nooooohh

Verso 3:
Take it back now
Dm
I don't ever wanna be perfect,
Cause I'm a singer that you
never wanna see shirtless
    Bb
I accept the fact that someone's got
 to win worst-dressed,
           C                  
Taking my first steps into the 
  C#m7M
scene,
giving me focus
Dm
Putting on a brave face, like 
Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change,
thinking it was hopeless
  Bb
Rhyming over recordings,
avoiding tradition
            C
Cause everyday some lyrics
          C#m7M
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
Bb
And I say it again,
                     C
Living life on the edge,
               C#m7M
with a closed hand full of friends
 Is good advice from a man
Dm
who took his life on the road with 
me
and I hope to see him blowing up 
globally
                          Bb
Cause that's how it's supposed to be
screaming out vocally
              C
It might seem totally impossible
   C#m7M
achieving life's dreams
    Dm
But, but I just write schemes
I'm never having a stylist, giving 
me tight jeans
                    Bb
Madison Square Garden is where I 
might be
But more likely,
            C
You'll find me in the back
          C#m7M
room of a dive bar with my mates
         Dm
Having a pint with McDaid
Discussing records we made
And every single second knowing
that we'll never betray
                 Bb
The way we were raised
Remembering our background
Sat down
C
That's how we put it out;
    C#m7M
it's time to take it back now

Refrão:
Dm
Mmh Mmh Mmh Mmh
                             Bb
Come on and take it back now
     C             C#m7M          Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Dm                              Bb
Don't you fade into the back love,
     C         C#m7M
nooooohh        uuuuuuuhh

Dm
Mmh Mmh Mmh Mmh
                             Bb
Come on and take it back now
     C              C#m7M          
Come on and take it back for us
Dm

Dm                                Bb
Don't you fade into the back love,
   C    C#m7M
nooooohh

Verso 4:
          Dm
My dreams keep me awake at night
written in rhymes, and I, deliver 
the hype am I
just living the lie
       Bb
with this you must know that the 
number's just sold woah
C                                
Will keep me going through the 
C#m7M
tough times, dream with me
Dm
We forget 90 percent of it when we 
wake
But the other 10 per cent it never 
fades
                 Bb
Dreaming dreams, day to day goals,
Stay awake loads, try to make the 
 C
cut like the
                 C#m7M
paper or razor blade, oh, never give
 up
Dm
And just remember just to hold out 
more
A couple years ago
I couldn't just control that thought
               Bb
You'd find me buskin' on the street
When it was cold outdoors
              C
And now I'm sweating on the stage
     C#m7M
of a sold out tour
        Dm
Writing love songs for the sake of 
it,
never to make a hit
You can't fake talent and work ethic
 just to make it quick
Bb
I'm not a rapper I'm a singer, I 
just take the piss and
C                                 
Most the other guys are kids that 
C#m7M
pose his little sister
         Dm
has to babysit, that's just a way it
 is
Dreams you own, just set your goals
and have the utmost faith in it
Bb
Tread your own path, you'll never 
make it as a follower,
C                                 
you'll never know where you will 
     C#m7M
go or where you'll be tomorrow
