Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
'Cause I am little, right?
I won't call you out
Teachers 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
[PreChorus]
But I know that people around you say
"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"
[Chorus]
You're a copy cat
And 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
Eh, eh, eh, oh, copy cat
Eh, eh, eh, oh, copy cat
[Verse 3]
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
[PreChorus]
But I know that people around you say
"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"
[Chorus]
You're a copy cat
And 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
Eh, eh, eh, oh, copy cat
Eh, eh, eh, oh, copy cat
[Bridge]
Found 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
[Verse 4]
Anything you can do, I can do better
Imprisoned for stealing, gon' write you a letter
Courageous and clever, creative director
I raised the bar high, yes sir, I broke the record
I'm hot as pepper, spend more time in leather
Scuffed up my boots, boy, I'll stomp you in Skechers
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
Think you're the boss, then I'll break broken necks
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'll 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'da made it
Imitated, never duplicated
You wish you related
You wish you'da made it
[Chorus]
You're a copy cat
And 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
Eh, eh, eh, oh, copy cat
Eh, eh, eh, oh, copy cat
