D
I'm not a rapper; I'm a singer with a flow I've got a habit of spitting quicker lyrics you know
Bb
You found me ripping the writtens out of the pages they sit in
C
and I never want to get bittenbecause plagiarism is hidden
D
Watch how I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, but didn't listen to any criticism
Bb
Thought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen
C
Studio with a system and you could say that I'm driven
D
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
I do my own thing now, and get respect after
C
And I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
D
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
At 16 years old I moved out of my home
C
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
D
And we've been sleeping at the subway station, sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population
Bb
Not my imagination, I don't want to relax
C
But would it hurt your reputation,if I put it on wax? So take it back now...
D
Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
D
Bb
C
Dont you fade into the back now
D
Take it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I'll be singing the news,
trying to act like Jack Black (???)
Bb
I'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop,
C
bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,
D
and keeping the truth through the vocal booth, stars burst out on the scene like an opal fruit,
Bb
they try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot,
C
but then again that's what they're supposed to do,
D
and I'm supposed to be calm,I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering everything
that happens is from now on,
Bb
I'll be willing to start again at the end of the song,
C
still they think I handled it wrong,
D
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
and got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,
C
to help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree
D,
Bb
I'm battling for the respect,
C
I don't know if I'll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the plaque I'll take it back now
D
Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
D
Bb
C
Dont you fade into the back
Same chord progression continues
D
Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
D
Bb
C
Dont you fade into the back now
D
Bb
Come on and take it back now
C
Come on and take it back now
D
Bb
C
Dont you fade into the back now
My dreams keep me awake at night
Am
I
With this you must know that the number's just sold woah
Will keep me going through the tough times, dream with me
