Key: D minor•
Verse 1
I'm a singer with a flow
I've got a habit of spitting
Quicker lyrics you know
Out of the pages they sit in
Dm
Bb
And never once I get bitten
Which I would sit on the rhythm
Prisoner with a vision
Signs of a label,
but didn't listen to any criticism
So perk your ears up and listen
C
Bb
Studio is a system
And you could say
And now it's on to the next saga
We drink the best lager
I never tried to win you over
Like your stepfather
F
Dm
And I'm avoiding cocaine
like it was Get Carter
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
Eb
At sixteen years old,
C
Bb
I was Macy Gray I tried to say
goodbye and I choked
the subway station
To sleeping with a movie star
and adding to the population
I don't wanna relax
if I put it on wax?
Verse 2
I'll take it back now

Verse 3
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
by just hitting a loop
C
Bb
Bringing the lyrics to prove
that I can fit in these shoes
the vocal booth
Stars burst out on the scene
like an opal fruit
he goes to shoot
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering everything that happens
is from now on
at the end of the song
I handled it wrong
C#dim
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
of me and festival fees
Singing for the masses
Rubber dinghy rapids
I keep this rapping a habit
I'm battling for respect
I don't know if I'll have it
This songs from the heart
Cover the planet
Verse 4
Bb

No
Verse 5
Dm
Now I don't ever want to be perfect
'Cause I'm a singer that you
And I accept the fact that someone
has to win worst-dressed
Putting on a brave face,
like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change
Rhyming over recordings
Avoiding tradition
And a melody can be written
Now absence can make your heart break
But drinking absinthe can change
your mind-state, vividly
vividly
And I say it again
Living life on the edge
Dm
C#
With a closed hand full of friends
Bb
Dm
And I hope to see him
blowing up globally
to be
I'm screaming out vocally
Achieving life's dreams
But, but I just write schemes
is where I might be
But more likely
Having a pint with McDaid
Discussing records we made
And every single second knowing
That we'll never betray
Sat down
C
Dm
That's how we plan it out
C#dim
Dm
It's time to take it back now
Verse 6
Mmm, come on and take it back,
