Verse 1
Dm
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
Bb
You found me ripping the writtens
Out of the pages they sit in
Dm
Dm
Bb
Bb
And never once I get bitten
Dm
Dm
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
Bb
Bb
Thought you knew but you didn't
So perk your ears up and listen
C
C
Bb
Bb
Studio is a system
And you could say
Dm
Dm
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
Bb
Bb
I do my own thing now,
C
C
and get respect after
F
F
Dm
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
Bb
Eb
Eb
At sixteen years old,
Bb
Bb
yeah I moved out of my home
C
C
Bb
Bb
I was Macy Gray I tried to say
goodbye and I choked
Dm
Dm
And went from sleeping at
the subway station
To sleeping with a movie star
and adding to the population
Bb
Bb
Not my imagination,
I don't wanna relax
C
C
Would it hurt your reputation
if I put it on wax?
Verse 2
I'll take it back now
Dm
Dm
Mmm, come on and take it back,
Bb
Bb
love
C
C
Dm
Dm
Bb
Bb
Dm
Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Bb
Bb
Don't you fade into the back, love
C
C
No
C#dim

Dm
Dm
I take it back with the
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
Bb
Bb
I'll make a beat with my feet
by just hitting a loop
C
C
Bb
Bb
Bringing the lyrics to prove
that I can fit in these shoes
Dm
Dm
I give you the truth through
the vocal booth
Stars burst out on the scene
like an opal fruit
Bb
Bb
They try and take aim like Beckham when
he goes to shoot
C
C
But then again that's what
Bb
Bb
they're supposed to do
Dm
Dm
And I'm supposed to be calm
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Whispering everything that happens
is from now on
Bb
Bb
I'll be ready to start again
at the end of the song
C
C
Still their claiming that
I handled it wrong
C#dim
C#dim
Dm
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
Bb
With only spectacles ahead
of me and festival fees
C
C
I'm healthier than a Dal
Dm
Dm
matian on Pedigree
Singing for the masses
Rubber dinghy rapids
I keep this rapping a habit
Bb
Bb
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
Dm
Dm
I'll take it back now
Verse 4
Dm
Dm
Mmm, come on and take it back,
Bb
Bb
love
C
C
Bb
Bb
Dm
Dm
Come on and take it back for us
Bb
Bb
Don't you fade into the back, love
C
C
No
Dm
Dm
Take it back now
Verse 5
Dm
Dm
Now I don't ever want to be perfect
'Cause I'm a singer that you
Bb
Bb
Never want to see shirtless
And I accept the fact that someone
has to win worst-dressed
Dm
Dm
Taking Taking my first
C#
C#
steps into the scene
Dm
Dm
Giving me focus
Putting on a brave face,
like Timothy Dalton
Considering a name change
Bb
Bb
Thinking it was hopeless
Rhyming over recordings
Avoiding tradition
Dm
Dm
'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
Bb
Bb
I need to let my liver be
And I say it again
Living life on the edge
Dm
Dm
C#
C#
With a closed hand full of friends
Bb
Bb
Is good ad vice from a man
Dm
Dm
Who took his life on the road with me
Bb
Bb
Dm
Dm
And I hope to see him
blowing up globally
Bb
Bb
'Cause that's how it's supposed
to be
I'm screaming out vocally
Dm
Dm
It might seem totally impossible
Achieving life's dreams
But, but I just write schemes
Gm
Gm
I'm never having a stylist,
Dm
Dm
giving me tight jeans
Bb
Bb
Madison Square Garden
is where I might be
But more likely
C
C
You'll find me in the back
Dm
Dm
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
Bb
Bb
The way we were raised
Dm
Dm
Remembering our background
Sat down
C
C
Dm
Dm
That's how we plan it out
C#dim
C#dim
Dm
Dm
It's time to take it back now
