Illy - Take It From Me lyrics

[Hook] (Baby, from me) Take it from me, take it from me We gonna get there, baby (some day) sh**, even if it drives me crazy (some day) We take it straight to the top of the globe And bring it back down under, yeah, right back home now Take it from me And they can hate if they think that it's worth it But I ain't got the time to return it This is how it go down my side of the town Yo you get respect when you deserve it [Verse 1: Illy] Now there's a lot to be said for persistence 'Cos sh** only seemed distant in the distance If I could rewind the hands of time Wouldn't have picked that I had so many things ticked off my wish list And it never occurred 'till I stopped, looked back And for better or worse, preserved my thirst Ain't always been in it, let alone finished first But I give it every goddamn particle I'm worth To the cause just to get through the door You in it for the strong game, you won't hit the porch And everywhere they pulled me in, Phaze gave support, Phizzle laced my more than any debut dropper came before Now Pegz trust me to carry the torch Who'da thought? but each coin you carry has a flip Had my share of hard times and my hospital trips But it is what it is, now I don't wanna brag But other than the f**-sh** that happened with my back If I had another chance, wouldn't change a f**ing fact [Hook] (Baby, from me) Take it from me, take it from me We gonna get there, baby (some day) sh**, even if it drives me crazy (some day) We take it straight to the top of the globe And bring it back down under, yeah, right back home now Take it from me 'cos all the struggles and dark nights Make it that much sweeter in sunlight It's only when you give up that your chances are cut I mean, what's the speed profit of life? [Verse 2: Illy] Some don't understand, but it's hard to get them to relate They're heading into work, but I'm heading interstate And no complaints made about the money that I make I can take the debt; fresh lines on the face ? love ? the day, fall in love by the evening And the sun don't rise in the morning, I'm leaving (huh) And leave them behind, my rhymes and achievements To impress on the next crop, no shame in dreaming Can't be sure when the last bus leaving, but ? my heart's beating Only way forward's believe in yourself Been told I couldn't a few times as well Look how much mind I paid to that If I gave a f**, I'd probably get change back Wack sh**, i'm running late with that Go ahead, hold breath, and suffocate waiting And call me impatient, but f** fate What's yours ? for the making Take it from me [Hook] (Baby, [?] from me) Take it from me, take it from me We gonna get there, baby (some day) sh**, even if it drives me crazy (some day) We take it straight to the top of the globe And bring it back down under, yeah, right back home now Take it from me And this world doesn't know you at all, man What you make for yourself is in your hands For ? in the globe there's a high, every day there's a night Why not give the more than [<-- ?] [M-Phazes] It's a lot ? to give ? You couldn't stop it if you wanted You gotta get up, get out, and get something It took a lot for me to get here You couldn't stop it if you wanted You gotta get up, get out, and get something [Verse 3: Illy] You gotta persist with your vision Push it to the limit, 'cos a life without risk ain't worth living Roll the dice, any chance i'm given Head in the cloud, feet on the ground, ain't missing a goddamn thing And ain't wishing for a goddamn thing Exactly how my old man thinks I respectfully decline, the trajectory expected to apply I don't accept it, I deny, wave goodbye They could jet through the sky, but I shoot for the stars And though ti's pear-shaped, I can say by and large, "f** it" I did it my way; every cheque? by following my heart And what they say, I can't, couldn't? Open wide, say, "ah", put your foot in No guessing, no regrets. If it don't make dollars, it don't make sense Nah, mate, I'm about the time spent I won't get again Take it from me [Bridge] (Baby it [?] from me) (Some day) (Some day) (Some day)
