Take It Back Now Lyrics
Ed Sheeran
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 din'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 its safe to say that it kept me ground 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 when I'm 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...
Mmmmm, come on and take it back now
Come on and take it back now
Don't you fade into the back love, no
Take it back with the rhythm of blues
With my rap pack that was sicker than news
Tryna act like jack black when I'm ripping the school
I make a beat with my feet by just hitting the loop
Bringing the lyrics will prove that I can fit into these shoes
Give me the truth through the vocal booth
Stars burst out on the scene like an opel fruit
They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot
Then again that's what their supposed to do
And then I'm supposed to be calm; I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
Within everything that happens just from now on
I'll be ready to start again, at the end of the song
Still they're craving at a handle they wrote
But then I've never had an enemy, except the NME
But I'll be selling twice as many copies as the magazines will ever be
But if respectable as the enemy and festival fees that helped being held down national pedigree
Singing to the masses, rubber dinghy rapids
I keep this weapon at habit, I keep on passion in magic
I'm battling for respect
I dunno but I'm think this songs from the heart
Love with the platinum
I'll take it back now...
Mmmmm, come on and take it back now
Come on and take it back now
Don't you fade into the back love, no
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
Never be,I need to let my liver be
And I say it again, living life on the edge with a closed hand of friends
It's 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 put it out; it's time to take it back now
Mmmmm, come on and take it back now
Come on and take it back now
Don't you fade into the back love, no
Oooooo, come on and take it back now
Come on and take it back now
Don't you fade into the back love, ohhh
My dreams keep me awake at night
Written in rhymes at night, deliver the high from high
Just living a lie with this
You must know that the numbers just slow whoo
So keep me going through the tough times; dream with me
If you get ninety per cent of it when we wait, but the other ten per cent it never fades
Dreaming dreams of day to day goals
Stay awake loads
Try to make the cut like the paper or razor blade, ohhh
Never give up; just remember just a whole lot more
Couple years ago when couldn't just control that door
You find me busking on the street when it was cold outdoors
Now I'm sweating on the stage of a sold out tour
Writing left songs from the centre of it,
Never to make it hit you bold at times, work heavy just to make it quick
I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer
I just take the piss out of most the other guys who give their most, that little sister that you have to baby sit
That's just the way it is
Dreams are your own; just set your goals
And have the utmost faith in it
Tread your own path, you'll never make it as a follower
You never where you will go or you will be tomorrow
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 din'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
