Take It From Me

Lyrics

[Chorus: Illy] (Take it from me) Take it from me, take it from me We gonna get there, baby (some day) Shit, 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 shit 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've give 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 me more Than any debut dropper came before Now Pegz trust me to carry the torch Who'da thought? But a long story short, 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 fuck-shit that happened with my back If I had another chance, wouldn't change a fucking fact [Chorus: Illy] (Take it from me) Take it from me, take it from me We gonna get there, baby (some day) Shit, 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, yep '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 by 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 Sure as 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 fuck, I'd probably get change back, wack shit I'm running late with that. Go ahead, hold breath And suffocate waiting and call me impatient But fuck fate, what's yours for the making Take it from me [Chorus: Illy] (Take it from me) Take it from me, take it from me We gonna get there, baby (some day) Shit, 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 every in the globe there's a high, every day there's a night It's who you are, not who you are more than [Bridge: M-Phazes] 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 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 If it goes pear-shaped, I can say by and large, "fuck it" I did it my way; every cheque carved 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 [Outro] (Take it from me) (Some day) (Some day) (Some day) (Take it from me) (Some day) (Some day) (Some day)
