You don't know me yet

So let me introduce myself (Hello)

My name is Shuba

You probably heard me sing as someone else (Oh)

From Celine to Shakira, Eminem to Britney Spears

I swear that my impression game was music to the public's ears

The story of me? I've been singing since three

Learned from the greats specifically

My immigrant mother had taste in music so she

Introduced me to the best of Hollywood

Threw some spices in that mix

And made me love some Bollywood too

Yeah, I didn't grow up with an idol

They all looked like Katherine Heigl

So I'd kick up my feet, scream at the screen

“Ma', they look nothing like I do!”

But that's okay, I'll pave my path and won't get lazy

And I'll do it with a little bit of flavor, Desi

Spotlight shining on me

See me on the big screen

(I wanna be an icon)

I'll be selling out seats

And posing on magazines

(I wanna be an icon)

You're sleeping, I'm streaming

And breaking the ceiling

Watch me making my dreams

Promise you'll remember me

(I'm gonna be an icon)

I'm sick of seeing superficial people on my screen (Oh my god)

I'd rather pay someone to poke my pupils till they bleed (Ahh)

Sick of being told I'm talented but underrated (Hey!)

Unappreciated, talent gone completely wasted

But I can't complain, there's a reason for everything

At least that's what I try to tell myself when I get doubtful (Hmmm)

There's plenty teachers out there who can tell you more than I know

It's your call, but these so-called influential people

Convince you that your self-esteem has died

Lethal

Spotlight shining on me

See me on the big screen

(I wanna be an icon)

I'll be selling out seats

And posing on magazines

(I wanna be an icon)

You're sleeping, I'm streaming

And breaking the ceiling

Watch me making my dreams

Promise you'll remember me

(I'm gonna be an icon)

Woah, yeah, oh-woah (I wanna be an icon)

Woah, I wanna be an icon (I wanna be an icon)

Woah, yeah (I wanna be an icon)

Woah, mhmm (I wanna be an icon)

Spotlight shining on me

See me on the big screen

(I wanna be an icon)

I'll be selling out seats

And posing on magazines

(I wanna be an icon)

You're sleeping, I'm streaming

And breaking the ceiling

Watch me making my dreams

Promise you'll remember me

(I'm gonna be an icon)

You're sleeping, I'm streaming

And breaking the ceiling

Watch me making my dreams

Promise you'll remember me
