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
and I never want to get bitten 
because plagiarism is hidden
         Dm
Watch how I sit on the rhythm, 
prisoner with a vision Signs of A , 
but didn't listen to any criticism
Bb
Thought you knew but you didn't so 
perk your ears up and listen
C
Studio with a system 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
And I'm avoiding cocaine 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 I moved out of my 
home
C
I was Macy Gray I tried to say 
goodbye and I choked
Dm
And we've been 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
But would it hurt your reputation,if
 I put it on wax? So take it back 
now...


[Hook]

Dm                         Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm                                
Dont you fade into the back now
Bb  C



[Verse 2]

Dm
Take it back with the rhythm and 
blues and my back pack I'll be 
singing the news,
trying to act like Jack Black when I
 bring them to school
Bb
I'll make a beat with my feet by 
just singing a loop,
C
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 and take aim like beckham 
when he goes to shoot,
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,
Bb
I'll be willing to start again at 
the end of the song,
C
still they think 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,
Bb
and got me spectacles ahead of me 
and festival fees,
C
to help me with a Dalmatian, no 
pedigree
Dm
singing for the masses, rubber 
dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a 
habit and keep on
passioning magic,
Bb
I'm battling for the respect,
C
I don't know if I'll have it, this 
songs from the heart, grabbing the 
plaque I'll take it back now


[Hook]

Dm                         Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm                                
Dont you fade into the back now
Bb  C



(Same chord progression continues)

Take it back now


[Verse 3]

Dm
I don't ever want to be perfect, 
Cause I'm a singer that you never 
want to see shirtless
Bb
I accept the fact that someone has 
to win the worst-dressed,
C
Taking my first steps into the 
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 every day some lyrics and a 
melody can be written
Dm
Now absence can make your heart ache
 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,with a 
closed hand full of friends
Dm
Is good advice from a manwho 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
Might seem totally impossible 
achieving life's dreams
Dm
But, but I just write schemesI'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 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
C
Sat down That's how we put it out; 
it's time to take it back now


[Hook] (x2)

Dm                         Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
Dm                                
Dont you fade into the back now
Bb  C



[Verse 4]

Dm
My dreams keep me awake at night, 
Written in rhymes, and lies, 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 tough
 times, dream with me
Dm
We forget 90 per cent of it when we 
wake But the other 10 per cent it 
never fades
Bb
Dreaming dreams, day to day goals 
Stay awake loads,
          C
try to make the cut like the paper 
or razor blade,
           Dm
never give up 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 
With the sold out tours
         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 of these other guys are kids 
that pose His little sister has to
Dm
babysit, that's just a way it is 
Dreams you own,just set your 
goalsAnd 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 
go or where you will be tomorrow
   Dm
