[Chorus:]
My family always said
Kaely, we're watching ya
Always be yourself
Don't be a copier
So what if you're different?
And want to do that?
It's way better than being a real big copycat
You copycat, you copycat
Copycat, copycat, you copycat
Copycat, copycat, you copycat
I'm not ever ever gonna be a copycat (Uh-uh)
[Verse 1:]
I'mma tell you a whole story
I'm about to begin
Everyday when I'm outside
Just hanging with friends
They wanna play the same thing
And dress the same way
So I got my haircut
And they think I'm crazay
But I just think it's cool
It makes me feel happy
Especially when I started rapping
I just wanted to cut it
I pictured it and loved it
Then I asked my mom
And she got hotter than the oven
Nah, I'm just playing
She said, "Kaely, really?"
At first she just thought that
I was trying to be silly
She said here's a lesson
Answer this question
What if the kids laugh at you?
I said it means nothing
She said OK, cool
And it will grow back
And you can make your mind up
If you want it like that
She said self expression
You have to be you
You can't be yourself
Trying to do what they do
[Chorus:]
My family always said
Kaely, we're watching ya
Always be yourself, don't be a copier
So what if you're different?
And want to do that?
It's way better than being a real big copycat
You copycat, you copycat
Copycat, copycat, you copycat
Copycat, copycat, you copycat
I'm not ever ever gonna be a copycat (Nope)
[Verse 2:]
It's like playing follow the leader
But I don't want to follow
What if the leader wants to break a bottle?
What if the leader wants to run away from home
And come back tomorrow?
So you do what they do?
Try see if they say to?
Just to be cool because you think that they would hate you?
Would you jump off a bridge if somebody say to?
Just be yourself, don't let nobody make you
Even if they say they care they're just trying to fake you
And when it's time for trouble, you're home all alone
No friends are there
Cause they are at home
Playing their Xbox and all their fun games
But you were being a follower
And didn't use your brain
The leader got away
And now he's home safe
The follower gets caught
Now his mom's in his face
Now she all angry
You might get a spanking
It wasn't even worth it
Now what were you thinking?
[Repeat Chorus]
You copycat, you copycat
Copycat, copycat
You copycat
Copycat, copycat
You copycat
I'm not ever ever gonna be a copycat
Copy that
