[00:00.98] I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a flow [00:02.76] I've got a habit for spitting quicker lyrics you know [00:04.92] You'll find me ripping the written out of the pages they sit in [00:06.87] I never want to get bitten 'cause plagiarism is hidden [00:09.02] Watch how I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision [00:11.26] Signed to a label but didn't listen to any criticism [00:13.20] Thought you knew, but you didn't, so perk your ears up and listen [00:15.57] Studio is a system, and you could say that I'm driven [00:17.73] And now it's onto the next saga, we drink the best lager [00:20.26] I'll never try to win you over like your stepfather [00:22.36] I do my own thing now and get respect after [00:24.71] And I'm avoiding the 'cain like it was Get Carter [00:26.99] For four years, I never had a place to stay [00:28.43] But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded like a paper weight [00:31.12] At 16 years old, yeah, I moved out of my home [00:32.48] I was Macy Gray, I tried to say goodbye and I choked [00:34.52] And went from sleeping at a subway station [00:36.23] To sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population [00:38.64] Not my imagination, I don't wanna relax [00:40.73] Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax? [00:42.59] I take it back now [00:43.79] Mmm, come on and take it back, love [00:48.89] Come on and take it back for us [00:53.56] Don't you fade into the back, love [00:57.56] No [00:59.83] I take it back with the rhythm and blues [01:01.34] With my rap pack, I'll be singing the news [01:02.94] Tryna act like Jack Black when I bring it to school [01:05.12] I make a beat with my feet by just hitting the loop [01:07.07] Bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes [01:09.18] I give you the truth through the vocal booth [01:10.60] And stars burst out on the scene like an Opal Fruit [01:12.94] They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot [01:14.70] But then again, that's what they're supposed to do [01:16.47] And I'm supposed to be calm, I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm [01:18.96] Whispering, "Everything that happens is from now on" [01:21.27] I'll be ready to start again by the end of the song [01:23.17] And still they're claiming that I handle it wrong [01:24.63] But then I've never had an enemy except the NME [01:27.00] But I'll be selling twice as many copies as their magazines'll ever be [01:29.43] With only spectacles ahead of me [01:31.00] And festival fees are healthier than a Dalmatian on pedigree [01:33.82] Singing for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids [01:35.83] I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning magic [01:37.84] I'm battling for respect and I don't know if I have it [01:39.94] This song's from the heart, cover the planet [01:41.31] I'll take it back now [01:42.86] Mmm, come on and take it back, love [01:47.18] Come on and take it back for us [01:51.76] Don't you fade into the back, love [01:55.49] No [01:57.77] And take it back now [01:59.15] Now, I don't ever wanna be perfect [02:00.48] 'Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless [02:02.44] And I accept the fact that someone's got to win worst-dressed [02:04.62] Taken my first steps into the scene giving me focus [02:06.82] Putting on a brave face like Timothy Dalton [02:08.88] Considering a name change, thinking it was hopeless [02:11.07] Rhyming over recordings, avoiding tradition [02:12.84] 'Cause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written [02:14.76] Now, absence can make your heart ache [02:16.05] But drinking Absinthe can change your mind state [02:17.84] Vividly, need to let my liver be [02:19.50] And I'll say it again, living life on the edge with a close handful of friends [02:22.56] Is good advice from the man that took his life on the road with me [02:24.91] And I hope to see him blowing up globally [02:26.87] 'Cause that how it's supposed to be [02:28.03] I'm screaming out vocally [02:28.88] It might seem totally impossible achieving life's dreams [02:31.21] But, but I just write schemes [02:32.74] I'm never having a stylist giving me tight jeans [02:34.62] Madison Square Garden is where I might be, but more likely [02:37.52] You'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates [02:39.47] Having a pint with McDaid, discussing records we made [02:41.27] And every single second knowing that we'll never betray [02:43.35] The way we were raised, remembering our background, sat down [02:45.91] That's how we plan it out, it's time to take it back now [02:48.17] Mmm, come on and take it back, love [02:53.72] Come on and take it back for us [02:58.09] Don't you fade into the back, love [03:01.63] No [03:04.42] Mmm, come on and take it back, love [03:10.57] Come on and take it back for us [03:14.79] Don't you fade into the back, love [03:18.40] No [03:23.61]
