I'm not a rapper

I'm a singer with a flow

I've got a habit of spitting

Quicker lyrics you know

You found me ripping the writtens

Out of the pages they sit in

And never want to get bitten

Because plagiarism is hidden

Watch how I sit on the rhythm

Prisoner with a vision

Signs of 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 a system

And you could say 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

I do my own thing now

And get respect after

And I'm avoiding the cane

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

At 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 the subway station

Sleeping with a movie star

And adding to the population

Not my imagination

I don't want to relax

But would it hurt your reputation

If I put it on wax

So take it back now

C'mon and take it back love

C'mon and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

Ooooh

Take it back with the rhythm and blues

And my back pack

I'll be singing the news

Trying to act like Jack Black

When I bring 'em to school

I'll make a beat with my feet by

Just hitting a loop

Bringing the lyrics to prove

That I can fit in these shoes

And keeping the truth

Through the vocal booth

Stars burst out on the scene

Like an opal fruit

They try and 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 willing to start again

By the end of the song

Still they claim that I handled it wrong

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

With only spectacles ahead of me

And festival fees

And healthier

Than a Dalmatian on pedigree

Singing for the masses

Rubber dinghy rapids

Keep this rapping a habit

And keep on passioning magic

I'm battling with respect

I don't know if I'll have it

This songs from the heart

Cover the planet

I'll take it back now

C'mon and take it back love

C'mon and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

Ooooh

Take it back now

I don't ever want to be perfect

Cause I'm a singer that you

Never want to see shirtless

I accept the fact

That someone's got to win worst dressed

Taking 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

Cause every day some lyrics

And a melody can be written

Now absence can make your heart ache

But drinking absinthe

Can change your mind state vividly

I need to let my liver be

And I say it again

Living life on the edge

With a closed hand full of friends

Is good advice from a man

Who took his life on the road with me

And I hope to see him

Blowing up globally

Cause that's how it's supposed to be

I'm screaming out vocally

Might seem totally impossible

Achieving life's dreams

But 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'll find me in the back

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

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

C'mon and take it back love

C'mon and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

Ooooh

C'mon and take it back love

C'mon and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

Ooooh
