[00:00.00]Take It Back - Ed Sheeran
[00:00.71]Composed by：Johnny McDa
[00:01.28]I'm not a rapper I'm a singer with a flow
[00:02.99]I've got a habit for spittin' quicker lyrics you know
[00:04.97]You found me rippin' the writtens out of the pages they sit in
[00:07.06]I never want to get bitten 'cause plagiarism is hidden
[00:09.25]Which I would sit on the rhythm prisoner with the vision
[00:11.30]Signs of a label but didn't listen to any criticism
[00:13.60]Thought you knew but you didn't so perk your ears up and listen
[00:15.86]Studio is a system and you could say that I'm driven
[00:17.73]And now it's onto the next saga we drink the best lager
[00:20.57]I never tried to win you over like your stepfather
[00:22.69]I do my own thing now and get respect after
[00:24.85]And I'm avoidin' cocaine like it was Get Carter
[00:27.02]For four years I never had a place to stay
[00:28.62]But it's safe to say that it kept me grounded like a paperweight
[00:30.85]At sixteen years old yeah I moved out of my home
[00:32.94]I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked
[00:34.85]And went from sleepin' at a subway station
[00:36.48]To sleepin' with a movie star and addin' to the population
[00:38.97]Not my imagination I don't wanna relax
[00:41.01]Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax?
[00:42.77]I take it back now
[00:43.74]Mmm come on and take it back love
[00:50.04]Come on and take it back for us
[00:53.96]Don't you fade into the back love no
[01:00.11]I take it back with the rhythm and blues
[01:01.44]With my rap pack I'll be singing the news
[01:02.98]Tryna act like Jack Black when I bring 'em to school
[01:05.17]I'll make a beat with my feet by just hittin' a loop
[01:07.12]Bringing the lyrics to prove that I can fit in these shoes
[01:09.28]I'll give you the truth through the vocal booth
[01:10.81]And stars burst out on the scene like an Opal Fruit
[01:13.03]They try to take aim like Beckham when he goes to shoot
[01:14.93]But then again that's what they're supposed to do
[01:16.47]And I'm supposed to be calm I tattooed the lyrics onto my arm
[01:19.04]Whisperin'"Everything that happens is from now on"
[01:21.16]I'll be ready to start again by the end of the song
[01:23.19]And still they're claiming that I handled it wrong
[01:24.74]But then I've never had an enemy except the NME
[01:26.98]But I'll be selling twice as many copies as the magazines will ever be
[01:29.86]With only spectacles ahead of me and festival fees
[01:31.94]Are healthier than a dalmatian on Pedigree
[01:34.21]Singing for the masses rubber dinghy rapids
[01:36.18]I keep this rappin' a habit and keep on fashionin' magic
[01:38.03]I'm battlin' for respect and I don't know if I have it
[01:40.24]This song's from the heart cover the planet
[01:41.60]I'll take it back now
[01:42.90]Mmm come on and take it back love
[01:48.04]Come on and take it back for us
[01:52.09]Don't you fade into the back love no
[01:58.03]I'll take it back now
[01:59.14]Now I don't ever wanna be perfect
[02:00.73]'Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless
[02:02.74]And I accept the fact that someone's gotta win worst-dressed
[02:04.76]Taking my first steps into the scene giving me focus
[02:07.14]Puttin' on a brave face like Timothy Dalton
[02:09.12]Considerin' a name change thinkin' it was hopeless
[02:11.08]Rhymin' over recordings avoidin' tradition
[02:12.96]'Cause every day some lyrics and a melody can be written
[02:14.91]Now absence can make your heart ache
[02:16.22]But drinking Absinthe can change your mind state
[02:18.00]Vividly need to let my liver be
[02:19.88]And I say it again
[02:20.81]Livin' life on the edge with a closed handful of friends
[02:22.54]It's good advice from a man who took his life on the road with me
[02:25.17]And I hope to see him blowin' up globally
[02:26.88]'Cause that's how it's supposed to be I'm screamin' out vocally
[02:28.92]It might seem totally impossible achievin' life's dreams but
[02:31.85]But I just write schemes I'm never havin' a stylist giving me tight jeans
[02:34.94]Madison Square Garden is where I might be but more likely
[02:37.35]You'll find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates
[02:39.42]Havin' a pint with McDaid discussin' records we made
[02:41.43]And every single second knowin' that we'll never betray
[02:43.47]The way we were raised rememberin' our background sat down
[02:46.01]That's how we plan it out it's time to take it back now
[02:47.98]Mmm come on and take it back love
[02:54.05]Come on and take it back for us
[02:58.07]Don't you fade into the back love no
[03:04.92]Mmm come on and take it back love
[03:10.92]Come on and take it back for us
[03:14.81]Don't you fade into the back love no mmm
