Nice try,
But talent's a rare game and you're not qualified to play.
So pick up all the names you've been dropping,
So you don't trip again, don't trip again.
If only the heart could see you as I do.
If you keep tripping up that moment might come soon.
But, then again, with your feet stuck in the mud,
You might just see the person you've become.
(Now you can tell it this once)
Wake the hell up, you thief,
You've been on your knees with real musicians.
Begging for a chance,
And it's not too late to find another talent to fake.
You're down on all counts and you can't keep up.
We're faster, stronger, we'll last a little longer than this.
Maybe you should buy your songs from somewhere else.

Wake the hell up, you thief,
You've been on your knees with real musicians.
Begging for a chance,
And it's not too late to find another talent to fake.
I'll let karma take its toll on you.
Don't let it kill you.
Meanwhile, I'll be trying my best to be original.
To not pilfer the works of the people,
Who made me who I am, made me who I am.
