Copy Cat lyrics

[Melanie Martinez:]

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

Teachers saying you'd get credit, why would you stop now?

You are so desperate craving that spotlight

Shining on the ones who do that 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

(Uh uh uh, uh uh, copy cat)

(Uh uh uh, uh uh, 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

(Uh uh uh, uh uh, copy cat)

(Uh uh uh, uh uh, copy cat)

Find someone else to leech on, lady

My blood's for me, not for your babies

College, estate and all your savings

My blood's for me, so no more taking

[Tierra Whack:]

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 high, yes sir, I broke the record

I'm hot as peppers, my words are 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 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

[Melanie Martinez:]

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

(Uh uh uh, uh uh, copy cat)

(Uh uh uh, uh uh, copy cat)
