I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a
flow
I've got a habit for spitting quicker
lyrics, you know
You'll find me ripping the writings
out of the pages they sit in
I never want to get bitten cause
plagiarism is hidden
Watch how I sit on the rhythm,
prisoner with the vision
Signed to a label but didn't listen to
any criticism
Thought you knew but you didn't, so
perk your ears up and listen
The studio is a system and you could
say that I'm driven
And now it's onto the next saga, we
drink the best lager
I'll never try to win you over like
your stepfather
I'll do my own thing now and get
respect after
And I'm avoiding the 'caine 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
And went from sleeping at a subway
station to
Sleeping with a movie star and adding
to the population
Not my imagination, I don't wanna
relax
Would it hurt your reputation if I put
it on wax? I'll take it back now
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back, love
Oh
I take it back with the rhythm and
blues
With my rap pack I'll be singing the
news
Tryna act like Jack Black when I bring
it 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
I'll give you the truth through the
vocal booth
And stars burst out on the scene like
an Opal Fruit
They try to 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 ready to start again by the
end of the song
And still they're claiming that I
handle it wrong
But then I've never had an enemy
except the NME
But I'll be selling twice as many
copies as their magazines'll ever be
With all these spectacles ahead of me
and festival fees
Are healthier than a dalmatian on
Pedigree
Singing for the masses, rubber dinghy
rapids
I keep this rapping a habit and keep
on fashioning magic
I'm battling for respect, I don't know
if I'll have it
This song's from the heart, covered
the planet, I'll take it back now
Mmm, come on and take it back, love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back, love
Oh
Now I don't ever wanna be perfect
Cause I'm a singer that you never
wanna see shirtless
And I accept the fact that someone's
gotta 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 could be written
Now absence can make your heart ache
but drinking Absinthe
Can change your mind state vividly,
need to let my liver be
And I'll say it again, living life on
the edge with a closed hand full of friends
It's good advice from the 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
It 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
Hmm, come on and take it back, love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back, love
Oh
Hmm, come on and take it back, love
Come on and take it back for us
Don't you fade into the back, love
Oh
My dreams keep me awake at night,
written in rhyme
Till I deliver the hype, am I just
living a lie?
With this you must know that the
numbers just sold
Will keep me going through the tough
times, dream with me
We forget 90% of it when we wake
But the other 10%, it never fades
Dreaming dreams of day-to-day goals,
stay awake loads
Tried to make the cut like the paper
with a razor blade
Oh, never give up, just remember just
to hold out more
A couple years ago I couldn't just
control that thought
You'd find me busking on the street
when it was cold outdoors
Now I'm sweating on the stage of a
sold-out tour
Writing love songs for the sake of it,
never to make a hit
You can't fake talent and work ethic
just to make it quick
I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer, I just
take the piss
And most of these other guys are kids
that pose
His little sister has to babysit,
that's just the way it is
Dreams are your own, just set your
goals and have the upmost faith in it
Tread your own path, you'll never make
it as a follower
You'll never know where you will go or
you will be tomorrow
