Verse 1
Am

I'm not a rapper,

I'm a singer with a flow

I've got a habit of spitting

Quicker lyrics you know
F

You found me ripping the writtens

Out of the pages they sit in
Am
F

And never once I get bitten
Am

Because plagiarism is hidden

Which I would sit on the rhythm

Prisoner with a vision

Signs of a label,

but didn't listen to any criticism
F

Thought you knew but you didn't

So perk your ears up and listen
G
F

Studio is a system

And you could say
Am

that I'm driven

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

I do my own thing now,
G

and get respect after
C
Am

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
F
Bb

At sixteen years old,
F

yeah I moved out of my home
G
F

I was Macy Gray I tried to say

goodbye and I choked
Am

And went from sleeping at

the subway station

To sleeping with a movie star

and adding to the population
F

Not my imagination,

I don't wanna relax
G

Would it hurt your reputation

if I put it on wax?
Verse 2

I'll take it back now
Am

Mmm, come on and take it back,
F

love
G
Am
F
Am

Come on and take it back for us
F

Don't you fade into the back, love

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
F

I'll make a beat with my feet

by just hitting a loop
G
F

Bringing the lyrics to prove

that I can fit in these shoes
Am

I give you the truth through

the vocal booth

Stars burst out on the scene

like an opal fruit
F

They try and take aim like Beckham when

he goes to shoot
G

But then again that's what
F

they're supposed to do
Am

And I'm supposed to be calm

I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm

Whispering everything that happens

is from now on
F

I'll be ready to start again

at the end of the song
G

Still their claiming that

I handled it wrong
G#dim
Am

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
F

With only spectacles ahead

of me and festival fees
G

I'm healthier than a Dal
Am

matian on Pedigree

Singing for the masses

Rubber dinghy rapids

I keep this rapping a habit
F

And keep on fashioning magic

I'm battling for respect

I don't know if I'll have it

This songs from the heart

Cover the planet
Am

I'll take it back now
Verse 4
Am

Mmm, come on and take it back,
F

love
G
F
Am

Come on and take it back for us
F

Don't you fade into the back, love
G

No
Am
Take it back now
Verse 5
Am


Now I don't ever want to be perfect

'Cause I'm a singer that you
F

Never want to see shirtless

And I accept the fact that someone

has to win worst-dressed
Am

Taking Taking my first
G#

steps into the scene
Am

Giving me focus

Putting on a brave face,

like Timothy Dalton

Considering a name change
F

Thinking it was hopeless

Rhyming over recordings

Avoiding tradition
Am

'Cause every day some lyrics

And a melody can be written

Now absence can make your heart break

But drinking absinthe can change

your mind-state, vividly

vividly
F

I need to let my liver be

And I say it again

Living life on the edge
Am
G#

With a closed hand full of friends
F

Is good ad vice from a man
Am

Who took his life on the road with me
F
Am

And I hope to see him

blowing up globally
F

'Cause that's how it's supposed

to be

I'm screaming out vocally
Am

It might seem totally impossible

Achieving life's dreams

But, but I just write schemes
Dm

I'm never having a stylist,
Am

giving me tight jeans
F

Madison Square Garden

is where I might be

But more likely
G

You'll find me in the back
Am

Room of a dive bar with my mates

Having a pint with McDaid

Discussing records we made

And every single second knowing

That we'll never betray
F

The way we were raised
Am

Remembering our background

Sat down
G
Am

That's how we plan it out
G#dim
Am

It's time to take it back now

  • Best Tuning App Ever

    MaddProfessor

    I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

  • Well-Designed App

    Rose the Black Cat

    I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

  • Got me back into playing

    Tuliketsune

    I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

  • Secret weapon

    Brad

    Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

  • Very reliable tuner

    theNewPaul

    This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

  • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

    Caleb Schafli

    It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

  • Great to tune and play

    Lynae T

    I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
