Take This From Me

[Intro: Wretch 32]

Woo

Now, now I'm a man with strong beliefs

And that's something that no one can ever take from me

Or you

Now, you may only be the employee

But that don't mean that your boss can take your integrity

Or your passion

And remember

They can never take your soul

[Verse 1: Wretch 32]

Listen, I reckon they'll have to take my life

Before they ever get to take my pride, I won't go down

They ain't seen how the great's designed

I don't break, I just change with time, I've got my own sound

My own style is fashion, my own drive is passion

I'm in the seat with the driver strapped in

On the beat like the hi-hats clapping

In the street like the sirens flashing

Where the police are tryna direct action

Cuh they can't flip the script

The cliffhanger's got a hell of a grip

Cuh when we get banged up, they know we ain't telling 'em ish

Cuh they can waste our time

That don't mean they can take our pride, no

They can't take our style

We're so fly, they can't take us down, I'm so right

And power to the queens cuh you make us proud

Cuh you won't never let them take your crown, you know why?

Cuh it takes a king just to lay you down

And if you take him in, then he has to take you out

And that's the way to live, I just have to say this now

We've been making it, now we have to say this loud

[Hook: Badness]

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

No, no, they could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

No, no, they could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

[Verse 2: Wretch 32]

Uh, cuh British Gas are just taking liberties

The bailiffs are on, tryna take my dignity

But they can't even take my Freeview, I taped the preview

More chance tryna take my similes

My metaphors make me spiritually the best

I'm lyrically obsessed, I'm literally a wretch, yes

The labels are tryna rape the industry

But they could never take me physically, no homo

The bank don't wanna take no interest

Until they wanna take the interest, that's so low

And I ain't even scraping big cheques

A couple grand, now they wanna make me invest

My son's my life, his mum's tryna make him mad at me

She's tryna take my sanity

But I ain't gonna lie, I've been breaking gradually

The vibe, like, faded rapidly, it's over

And I don't even know what it's over

But deep down, I know I'm a soldier

Becuh alcoholic drinks only make me sober

So they could never take me over

[Hook: Badness]

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

No, no, they could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

No, no, they could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

[Bridge: Badness]

Cuh we never let them take every penny that we make

Or we're never gonna break these chains

And we come from the estate where there's never any change

So you know we have to scrape these plates

Cuh we never gonna break these chains

And we never gonna pay these rates

Cuh we never gonna pay, and we never gonna pay

And we never gonna pay this rate

[Hook: Badness]

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

No, no, they could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

No, no, they could never take this from me

They could never take this from me

[Outro: Badness]

Take this

They could never take this

No, no, they could never take this

No, no, they can't take this

They could never take this

They could never take this

Could never take this, no

They could never take this

Take this

They could never take this
