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
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 the 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 the 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 you, baby
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'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'd've made it
Imitated, never duplicated
You wish you related
You wish you'd've made it

[Melanie Martinez:]
You're the 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)
