Take It Back – Ed Sheeran – letras

I’m not a rapper; I’m a singer with a flowI’ve got a habit of spittingQuicker lyrics you knowYou found me ripping the writtensOut of the pages they sit inAnd never want to get bittenBecause plagiarism is sinWatch how I sit on the rhythmPrisoner with a visionSigns of a label, but didn’t listen to any criticismThought you knew but you didn’tSo perk your ears up and listenStudio is a systemAnd you could say that I’m drivenAnd now it’s on to the next sagaWe drink the best lagerI never tried to win youOver like your stepfatherI do my own thing now, and get respect afterAnd I’m avoiding the cane like it was Get CarterFor four years I never had a place to stayBut it’s safe to say that it kept meGrounded like a paperweightAt 16 years old I moved out of my homeI was Macey Gray I tried to say goodbye andI chokedAnd we’ve been sleeping at the subway stationSleeping with a movie starAnd adding to the populationNot my imagination, I don’t want to relaxBut would it hurt your reputationIf I put it on wax?So take it back nowC’mon and take it back loveC’mon and take it back for usDon’t you fade into the back loveOohTake it back with the rhythm and bluesAnd my back pack I’ll be singing the newsTrying to act like Jack Black whenI’m running the schoolI’ll make a beat with my feetBy just hitting a loopBringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoesAnd keeping the truth through the vocal boothStars burst out on the scene like an opal fruitThey try and take aim like BeckhamWhen he goes to shootBut then again that’s what they’re supposed to doAnd I’m supposed to be calmI tattooed the lyrics onto my armWhispering everything that happens is from now onI’ll be willing to start again at the end of the songStill they claim that I handled it wrongBut then I never had an enemy, except for NmeBut I’ll be selling twice as many copies asThe magazines will ever beWith only spectacles ahead of me and festival feesAnd healthier than a Dalmatian on pedigreeSinging for the massesRubber dinghy rapidsKeep this rapping a habitAnd keep on passioning magicI’m battling with respectI don’t know if I’ll have itThis songs from the heartGrabbing the plaqueI’ll take it back nowC’mon and take it back loveC’mon and take it back for usDon’t you fade into the back loveOohTake it back nowI don’t ever want to be perfectCause I’m a singer that youNever want to see shirtlessI accept the fact thatSomeone has to win worst-dressedTaking my first steps into the sceneGiving me focusPutting on a brave face, like Timothy DaltonConsidering a name changeThinking it was hopelessRhyming over recordingsAvoiding traditionCause every day some lyricsAnd a melody can be writtenNow absence can make your heart acheBut drinking absinthe can change your mind-state, vividlyI need to let my liver beAnd I say it againLiving life on the edgeWith a closed hand full of friendsIs good advice from a manWho took his life on the road with meAnd I hope to see him blowing up globallyCause that’s how it’s supposed to beScreaming out vocallyMight seem totally impossibleAchieving life’s dreamsBut, but I just write schemesI’m never having a stylist, giving me tight jeansMadison Square Garden is where I might beBut more likelyYou’ll find me in the backRoom of a dive bar with my matesHaving a pint with McdaidDiscussing records we madeAnd every single second knowingThat we’ll never betrayThe way we were raisedRemembering our backgroundSat downThat’s how we put it outIt’s time to take it back nowC’mon and take it back loveC’mon and take it back for usDon’t you fade into the back loveOohC’mon and take it back loveC’mon and take it back for usDon’t you fade into the back loveOoh
