Ed Sheeran, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder - Take It Back / Superstition / Ain't No Sunshine lyrics
[Ed Sheeran, Bill Withers, Stevie Wonder - Take It Back / Superstition / Ain't No Sunshine lyrics]
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
M-m-m-m 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
M-m-m-m 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
M-m-m-m 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
Very superstitious, writings on the wall
Very superstitious, ladders bout' to fall
Thirteen month old baby
Broke the lookin' glass
Seven years of bad luck
The good things in your past
Believing things that you don't understand
Then you suffer superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
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
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition ain't the way
Superstition, babe superstition, babe
Superstition, babe superstition, babe
Superstition, babe superstition, babe
Superstition, babe superstition, babe
Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone
It's not warm when she's away
Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
I wonder this time where she's gone
Wonder if she's gone to stay
Cause ain't no sunshine when she's gone
She's always gone too long
Anytime she goes away
And I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
Know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, I know, know, I know, I know
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
I know, know
Hey, I oughta leave young thing alone
But ain't no sunshine when she's gone
Oh anytime she goes away
Superstition ain't the way
Oh anytime she goes away
Superstition ain't the way
Oh anytime she goes away
Superstition ain't the way
