DmI’m not a rapper; I’m a singer with a flow I’ve got a habit of spitting quicker
You found me rippiBbng the writtens out of the pages they sit in
and IC never want to get bitten because plagiarism is hidden
Watch howDm I sit on the rhythm, prisoner with a vision Signs of LA, but didn’t
BbThought you knew but you didn’t so perk your ears up and listen
CStudio with a system and you could say that I’m driven
DmAnd now it’s on to the next saga we drink the best lager, I never tried to
BbI do my own thing now, and get respect after
CAnd I’m avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
DmFor four years I never had a place to stay but it’s safe to say that it
BbAt 16 years old I moved out of my home
CI was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
DmAnd we’ve been sleeping at the subway station, sleeping with a movie star and
BbNot my imagination, I don’t want to relax
CBut would it hurt your reputation,if I put it on wax? So take it back now…
DmCome on and take it back noBbw
CCome on and take it back now
DmDont you fade into the back now Bb C
DmTake it back with the rhythm and blues and my back pack I’ll be singing the news,
BbI’ll make a beat with my feet by just singing a loop,
Cbringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes,
Dmand keeping the truth through the vocal booth, stars burst out on the scene like an
Bbthey try and take aim like beckham when he goes to shoot,
Cbut then again that’s what they’re supposed to do,
and DmI’m supposed to be calm,I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm, whispering everything
BbI’ll be willing to start again at the end of the sonG
Cstill they think I handled it wronG
Dmbut then I never had an enemy, except for NME, but I’ll be selling twice as many copies
Bband got me spectacles ahead of me and festival fees,
Cto help me with a Dalmatian, no pedigree
Dmsinging for the masses, rubber dinghy rapids,keep this rapping a habit and keep on
BbI’m battling for the respect,
CI don’t know if I’ll have it, this songs from the heart, grabbing the plaque I’ll
DmMmm, come on and take it Bbback, love
CCome on and take it back for us
DmDon’t you fade into the Bbback, love C
DmI don’t ever want to be perfect, Cause I’m a singer that you never want to see shirtless
BbI accept the fact that someone has to win the worst-dressed,
CTaking my first steps into the scene, giving me focus
DmPutting on a brave face, like Timothy Dalton,considering a name change,thinking it
BbRhyming over recordings Avoiding tradition
CCause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written
DmNow absence can make your heart ache But drinking absinthe can change your
BbAnd I say it again,
CLiving life on the edge,with a closed hand full of friends
DmIs good advice from a manwho took his life on the road with me
BbCause that’s how it’s supposed to be screaming out vocally
CMight seem totally impossible achieving life’s dreams
DmBut, but I just write schemesI’m never having a stylist, giving me tight jeans
BbMadison Square Garden is where I might be, But more likely,
CYou’ll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
DmHaving a pint with McDaid, Discussing records we made And every single second knowing
BbThe way we were raised Remembering our background
CSat down That’s how we put it out; it’s time to take it back now
DmCome on and take it back Bbnow
CCome on and take it back now
DmDon’t you fade into the back now Bb C
DmMy dreams keep me awake at night, Written in rhymes, and lies, deliver the hype
BbWith this you must know that the number’s just sold woah
CWill keep me going through the tough times, dream with me
DmWe forget 90 per cent of it when we wake But the other 10 per cent it never fades
BbDreaming dreams, day to day goals Stay awake loads,
try to Cmake the cut like the paper or razor blade,
never give Dmup And just remember just to hold out more A couple years ago I couldn’t
You’d find me Bbbuskin’ on the street when it was cold outdoors
And now I’m Csweating on the stage With the sold out tours
Writing Dmlove songs for the sake of it Never to make a hit, You can’t fake
BbI’m not a rapper I’m a singer, I just take the piss and
CMost of these other guys are guys that pose His little sister has to
Dmbabysit, that’s just a way it is Dreams you own,just set your goals
tread your own Bbpath You’ll never make it as a follower,
Cyou’ll never know where you will go or where you will be tomorrow Dm
