Imitation

Walkin' round in clothes that don't fit you

Sayin' things you don't understand

Pickin' fights you know you can't win to get a little street cred

Phony friends inflating your ego

The attention gets to your head

You get high on fake compliments and counterfeit respect

And you

Got everyone under your spell

But you can't fool me

Deep down below the charade you put on

You're exactly like everyone else

Take a look, take it in, savour it

The flavour of the life you pretend to live (I-mi-ta-tion)

Cry for the man that you'll never be

Cause baby you're looking at the real thing

I-mi-ta-tion

I-mi-ta-tion

What's it like to be in my shadow?

Do you get a rush from the chase?

What's the point in copying what you'll never recreate?

Are you desperate for respect?

Or do you just enjoy keeping score?

Does the pain of second place leave you wanting more?

[Pre-Chorus] (Will Stetson, Yayari)

See the way I move, way I groove

Way I make 'em starstruck

I don't give a fxxx

I don't need no luck, no

You'll never be me, match my energy

Can't measure up to this (Woooah)

Don't get it twisted, it's all in your head

You're no better than anyone else

Take a look, take it in, savour it

The flavour of the life you pretend to live (I-mi-ta-tion)

Cry for the man that you'll never be

Cause baby you're looking at the real thing

Stop fooling yourself

'Cuz you can't catch me

This is a game that you can't ever win

It was over before it began

Take a look, take it in, savour it

The flavour of the life you pretend to live (I-mi-ta)

Cry for the man that you'll never be

Cause baby you're looking at the real thing
