Take It Back
A.K.A Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know this shit is over, I need an escape route
This bitch is going crazy, somebody please get me out now
She tried to be a queen, this bitch tried to make me bow down
I let this bitch get to me, now I'm asking myself how

Baby, you know that I need you, but we need to fuck and forget that
I remember how you did my ass and you can motherfucking bet that
When karma hit you right in the face I said that you would get that
I'm not hurting over her ass, cause I just let that go

Got a new bitch wanna go out lets go
If you want me back, girl, I said never let me know
I fall way too easy, just like snow
I don't wanna take her back, but I just might though
But I don't wanna take her back
APD run right in my blood
So i cant even fight with that
She already fucked up twice you cannot take a wrong a right it back
Everything you said to me cut deep you cannot just take it back
I said you cant just take it back

You were my world, I revolved around you
No problems I could ever find were resolved without you
Now I'm sitting right here, and I doubt all of you
Never loved me, and I know that I'm better off without you
I loved you so much, but now you are my enemy
I can't even think straight, way I'm sipping all this Hennessy
Secretly I thank you, because now I am a better me
Ever since I left you, I've been rewriting my legacy

Got a new bitch, wanna go, I let's go
If you want me back, girl, I said never let me know
I fall way too easy, just like snow
I don't wanna take her back, but I just might though
But I don't wanna take her back
APD run right in my blood
So I can't even fight with that
She already fucked up twice you cannot take a wrong a right it back
Everything you said to me cut deep you cannot just take it back
Girl, you cannot just take it back

You cannot just take it back
You cannot just take it back
Everything you said to me, you cannot just take it back
Fuck you, can't take it back
Fuck you, can't take it back





You cannot just take it back

It's true when they say you never realise what you have till it's gone... Most didn't realise AKA's greatness. G.O.A.T

@zamo9266

When this song came out my son who was 2 would sing the “oooh ooooh” part. We saw him last year January 2022 sitting in a restaurant in Parkhurst and I shouted his name whilst in the car. He came to us spoke to my my son and gave him first pound. My niece 20yr old was there too. She almost died. Aka was magnetic such a beautiful soul. He received us with such warmth - a crazy mother, fan struck niece and a 6year old shy boy.
