Ed Sheeran Take It Back Lyrics
Take It Back by 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
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
Some people say 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
(???) ....added 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...
*chorus thingy*
Take it back
Now I don't ever want to be perfect
Cause I'm a singer that you
never want to see shirtless
And I accept the (???)
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
I need to let my liver be
Looking over the edge,
with a closed hand full of friends
I get 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 lip 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
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
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

And I'm avoiding cocaine like it was Get Carter
