Take It Back

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 once I get bitten,

Because plagiarism is hidden

Which I would sit on the rhythm,

Prisoner with a 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

Studio with 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 I moved out of my home

I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and

I choked

And we've been 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?

I take it back now

Come on and take it back love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love, oh

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 him 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 give you 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 ready to start it again at the end of the song,

Still they claiming that I handled it wrong,
