Copy Cat Lyrics

Over my shoulder, eyes peeking in
Analyze my every move, what current state I'm in
'Cause you are colder than ice on my skin
Wanna get that A+, baby
So you take my shit
'Cause I am little, right?
I won't call you out
Teacher saying "You'd get credit, why would you stop now?"
You are so desperate
Craving that spotlight
Shine it on the ones who do the shit 'cause it's their life

But I know the people around you say
"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"

You're a copy cat
You take it then you leave it, honey
Just like that, just like that
You're falling flat
You find someone like me to bring you up right back
Up right back
(Copy cat, copy cat)

Obsessed with power
You want it for yourself
Feeding on misogyny
But still you call yourself a feminista
If that were really true
You wouldn't feel as if I were a current threat to you

But I know the people around you say
"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"

You're a copy cat
You take it then you leave it, honey
Just like that, just like that
You're falling flat
You find someone like me to bring you up right back
Up right back
(Copy cat, copy cat)

Find someone else to leech on, lady
My blood's for me, not for you, baby
College, estate and all your savings
My blood's for me, so no more taking

Anything you can do, I can do better
In prison for stealing, gon' write you a letter
Courageous and clever
Creative director
I raised the bar higher, Sir I broke the record
I'm hot as peppers, spent more time in leather
Scuffed up my boots, boy I'll stomp you in Sketchers
They wanna build like their first name is Hector
Back against wall, bitch I am a projector
From the projects, don't check on my ex
Like uni-brows they are there for connects
Wish you the best, won't show you my next move
So I guess you'll be upset
Don't cry, no baby, you'll find your own way
Think for yourself, it will all be okay
Copyright lyrics, you can't steal my spirit
They live for my music, they're dying to hear it
Imitated, never duplicated
You wish you related
You wish you'd have made it
Imitated, never duplicated
You wish you related
You wish you'd have made it

You're a copy cat
You take it then you leave it, honey
Just like that, just like that
You're falling flat
You find someone like me to bring you up right back
Up right back
(Copy cat, copy cat)

Over my shoulder, eyes peeking in
Analyze my every move, what current state I'm in
'Cause you are colder than ice on my skin
Wanna get that A+, baby
So you take my shit
'Cause I am little, right?
