What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I'm not a rapper, I'm a singer with a flow
2
I've got a habit of spitting
3
Quicker lyrics you know
4
You found me ripping the writtens
5
Out of the pages they sit in
6
And never once I get bitten
7
Because plagiarism is hidden
8
Which I would sit on the rhythm
9
Prisoner with a vision
10
Signs of a label, but didn't listen to any criticism
11
Thought you knew but you didn't
12
So perk your ears up and listen
13
Studio is a system
14
And you could say that I'm driven
15
And now it's on to the next saga
16
We drink the best lager
17
I never tried to win you over
18
Like your stepfather
19
I do my own thing now, and get respect after
20
And I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
21
For four years I never had a place to stay
22
But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded like a paperweight
23
At sixteen years old, yeah I moved out of my home
24
I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
25
And went from sleeping at the subway station
26
To sleeping with a movie star and adding to the population
27
Not my imagination, I don't wanna relax
28
Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax?
29
I'll take it back now
30
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love
31
C'mon and take it back for us
32
Don't you fade into the back love
33
No
34
I take it back with the rhythm and blues
35
With my rap pack I'll be singing the news
36
Trying to act like Jack Black when I bring 'em to school
37
I'll make a beat with my feet by just hitting a loop
38
Bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes
39
I give you the truth through the vocal booth
40
Stars burst out on the scene like an opal fruit
41
They try and take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot
42
But then again that's what they're supposed to do
43
And I'm supposed to be calm
44
I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
45
Whispering everything that happens is from now on
46
I'll be ready to start again at the end of the song
47
Still their claiming that I handled it wrong
48
But then I never had an enemy, except for NME
49
But I'll be selling twice as many copies as the magazines will ever be
50
With only spectacles ahead of me and festival fees
51
I'm healthier than a Dalmatian on Pedigree
52
Singing for the masses
53
Rubber dinghy rapids
54
Keep this rapping a habit
55
And keep on passioning magic
56
I'm battling for respect
57
I don't know if I'll have it
58
This songs from the heart
59
Cover the planet
60
I'll take it back now
61
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love
62
C'mon and take it back for us
63
Don't you fade into the back love
64
No
65
Take it back now
66
Now I don't ever want to be perfect
67
Cause I'm a singer that you
68
Never want to see shirtless
69
And I accept the fact that someone has to win worst-dressed
70
Taking my first steps into the scene
71
Giving me focus
72
Putting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton
73
Considering a name change
74
Thinking it was hopeless
75
Rhyming over recordings
76
Avoiding tradition
77
Cause every day some lyrics
78
And a melody can be written
79
Now absence can make your heart break
80
But drinking absinthe can change your mind-state, vividly
81
I need to let my liver be
82
And I say it again
83
Living life on the edge
84
With a closed hand full of friends
85
Is good advice from a man
86
Who took his life on the road with me
87
And I hope to see him blowing up globally
88
Cause that's how it's supposed to be
89
I'm screaming out vocally
90
It might seem totally impossible
91
Achieving life's dreams
92
But, but I just write schemes
93
I'm never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans
94
Madison Square Garden is where I might be
95
But more likely
96
You'll find me in the back
97
Room of a dive bar with my mates
98
Having a pint with McDaid
99
Discussing records we made
100
And every single second knowing
101
That we'll never betray
102
The way we were raised
103
Remembering our background
104
Sat down
105
That's how we plan it out
106
It's time to take it back now
107
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love
108
C'mon and take it back for us
109
Don't you fade into the back love
110
No
111
Mmmm c'mon and take it back love
112
C'mon and take it back for us
113
Don't you fade into the back love
114
No
