You’ll find me ripping the written out of the pages

watch how I sit on the rhythm

Prisoner with a vision

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 … I moved out of my home …

I tried to say goodbye and I choked …

Went from sleeping at a subway station …

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 tattooed the lyrics onto my arm

whispering everything that happens …

This song’s from the heart cover the planet

I take it back now

Now absence can make your heart ache …

living life on the edge with a close handful of friends …

And every single second knowing

that we’ll never betray

the way we were raised

remembering our background …

My dreams keep me awake at night

written in rhymes, …

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 forget

Dreaming dreams, day to day goals …

You’d find me buskin’ on the street

When it was cold outdoors …

Dreams you own …

And have the utmost faith in it …

Ed Sheeran – Take It Back

Now I’m in town, break it down …

ciao, seems that life is great no

See me lose focus, as I sing to you loud

and I can’t, no, I won’t hush

I’ll say the words that make you blush

I’m gonna sing this now

See, I’m true, my songs are where my heart is …

See, I’m real, I do it all, it’s all me

I’m not fake, don’t ever call me lazy

I won’t stay put, give me the chance to be free …

I sing and write my own tune

And I write my own verso

Don’t need another word-smith to make my tune sell …

I sing fast, I know that all my shit’s cool

I will blast and I didn’t go to Brit School

I came fast with the way I act, right

I can’t last if I’m smoking on a crack pipe …

My mind will always be stronger than my songs are

Never believe the bullshit that fake guys feed to ya …

When I perform live, feels like I am meditating …

‘Cause with the lyrics I’ll be aiming it right …

now I’m on arabian nights

Because I’m young and all my brothers gonna give me advice

Long nighter, short height and I’m gone hyper

Never be anything but a singer-songwriter

The games over but now I’m on a new level …

People think that I’m bound to blow up

I’ve done around about a thousand shows

But I haven’t got a house plus I live on the couch

So you can be the lyrics when I’m singing them out …

So now I’m back to the sofa giving a dose of what the future holds …

Gonna be breaking into other people’s tunes when I chase it

And replace it with the elephant in the room with a facelift

Into another rappers shoes using new laces

Selling cds from my rucksack …

Nationwide til’ we’re just jack, soon as I get the bus back …

Truly broke, never growing up call me Ruffio …

They say I’m up and coming like I’m fucking in an elevator

‘Cause you need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you

You need me, man, I don’t need you, at all …
