Take It Back Now Akor

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 I never want to get bittenbecause plagiarism is hidden

Watch how I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, 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 cocaine 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? So take it back now...

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Dont you fade into the back now

 

Take it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I'll be singing the news,

trying to act like Jack Black (???)

I'll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop,

 

bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,

and keeping 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 willing to start again at the end of the song,

 

still they think I handled it wrong,

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,

and got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,

 

to help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree

,

singing for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a habit and keep on

passioning magic,

I'm battling for the respect,

 

I don't know if I'll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the plaque I'll take it back now

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Dont you fade into the back

 

Same chord progression continues

 

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 has to win the 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, vividly,

I need to let my liver be

And I say it again,

Living life on the edge,

with a closed hand full of friends

Is 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

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

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Dont you fade into the back now

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Come on and take it back now

 

Dont you fade into the back now

 

My dreams keep me awake at night

Written in rhymes, and lies, deliver the hype

Am I just living the lie

With this you must know that the number's just sold woah

Will keep me going through the tough times, dream with me

We forget 90 per cent of it when we wake

But the other 10 per cent it never fades

Dreaming dreams, day to day goals

Stay awake loads, try to make the cut like the

Paper or razor blade, never give up

And just remember just to hold out more

A couple years ago

I couldn't just control that thought

You'd find me buskin' on the street

When it was cold outdoors

And now I'm sweating on the stage

With the sold out tours

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 guys that pose

His little sister has to babysit, that's just a way it is

Dreams you 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'll never know

Where you will go or where you will be tomorrow
