LyricMeaning

Take It Back \/ Superstition
Ed Sheeran

I'm not a rapper I'm a singer with a flow

I've got a habit for spitting quicker lyrics you know

You'll find me ripping the written out of the pages they sit in

I never want to get bitten

Cause plagiarism is hidden

Watch how I sit on the rhythm

Prisoner with a vision

Signs of a label

But didn't listen to any criticism

Thought you knew but you didn't

So perk your ears up and listen

Studio is a system

And you could say that I'm driven

And now it's onto the next saga

We drink the best lager

I'll never try to win you over like your stepfather

I do my own thing now

And get respect after

And I'm avoiding the 'caine

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 paper weight

At 16 years old yeah I moved out of my home

I was Macy Gray I tried to say goodbye and I choked

Went from sleeping at a subway station

To sleeping with a movie star

And adding to the population

Not my imagination

I don't wanna relax

Would it hurt your reputation if I put it on wax?

I take it back now

Mmmm come on and take it back love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

No

I take it back with the rhythm and blues

With my rap pack I'll be singing the news

Tryin' act like Jack Black

When I bring it to school

I make a beat with my feet

By just hittin' the loop

Bringing the lyrics to prove

That I can fit in these shoes

I give you the truth through the vocal booth

And stars burst out on the scene

Like an opal fruit

They try to 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 ready to start again

By the end of the song

Since they are claiming I handled it wrong

But then I've never had an enemy

Except the NME but I'll be selling

Twice as many copies as their magazine will ever be

With only spectacles ahead of me

And festival fees are healthier than a Dalmatian on pedigree

Singing for the masses rubber dingied rapids

I keep this rapping a habit and keep on fashioning magic

I'm battling for respect and I don't know if I have it

This song's from the heart cover the planet

I take it back now

Mmmm come on and take it back love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

No

And take it back now

Now I don't ever wanna be perfect

Cause I'm a singer that you never wanna see shirtless

And I accept the fact that someone's got to win worst dressed

Taken 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 days some lyrics and a melody can be written

Now absence can make your heart ache

But drinking absinth can change your mind state

Vividly need to let my liver be

And I'll say it again living life on the edge with a close handful of friends

Is good advice from the man that took his life on the road with me

And I hope to see him blowing up globally

'Cause that how it's supposed to be

I'm screaming out vocally

It 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 find me in the back room of a dive bar with my mates having a pint of 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 plan it out

It's time to take it back now

Mmmm come on and take it back love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

No

Mmm come on and take it back love

Come on and take it back for us

Don't you fade into the back love

No

[Album version stops here]

My dreams keep me awake at night

Written in rhymes, 'til I deliver the hype

Am I just living the lie

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

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, oh, 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 of a sold out tour

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 kids that Pulses

Little sister has to babysit, that's just the 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 rha.
