I'm not a rapper I'm a singer with a flow I've got habbit for spitting quicker lyrics you know You find me ripping the written out of the pages they sit in I never want to get bitten Cos plagiarism is hidden Watch how I sit on the rhythm Prisoner with a vision Signed to 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 the system And you could say that I'm driven And now it's onto the next saga We drink the best larger I'll never try 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 Carter For four years I never had a place to stay But it's safe to say it that kept me grounded Like a paper weight And 16 years old yeah I moved out of my home I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked 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 it on wax? I take it back now Mmmm come on and take it back love Come on 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 Tryin' act like Jack Black When I bring it to school I make a beat with my feet By just hittin' the loop Bringing the lyrics to prove That I can fit in these shoes I give you the truth through the vocal booth And stars burst out on the scene Like an opal fruit They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to 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 the song Since they are claiming I handled it wrong But I've never had an enemy Except the NME but I'll be selling Twice as many copies as their magazine will ever be With all these spectacles ahead of me And festival fess healthier than a Dalmatian on pedigree Singing for the masses rubber dingied rapids I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning magic I'm battling for respect and I don't know if I have it This song from the heart covers the planet I take it back now Mmmm come on and take it back love Come on and take it back for us Don't you fade into the back love No And take it back now Now I don't ever wanna he perfect Cos I'm a singer you never wanna see shirtless And I accept the fact that someone's got to win worst dressed Taken 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 Cos every days a lyrics and the melody can be written Now absence can make your heart ache But drinking absinth can change your mind state Vividly need to let my liver be I'll say it again living life on the edge with a close handful of friends It's good advice from the man that took his life on the road with me And I hope to see him blowing up globally Cos that how it's supposed to be I'm screaming out vocally It might seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams But I just write schemes I'm never having a stylist giving me tight jeans Madison Square Garden is where I might be But more likely you find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates having a pint of Mcdaid 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 Mmmm come on and take it back love Come on and take it back for us Don't you fade into the back love No Mmmm come on and take it back love Come on and take it back for us Don't you fade into the back love No
