[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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)

[Outro]

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

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
