lyrics

Impostor

I’m a shadowy figure, yeah yeah I
Live in the shadows
You tryna take my spotlight
Won’t take it any faster
I’m the real deal
I’m the dude like no other
I’m the king kreel
I’m the primary impostor

I see what you’re saying but but
You really can’t touch me
I see the little kindnesses
I saw you call your mother
I saw the thing you made
Because you wanted to help them
And now you say you failed because
You couldn’t change the weather
And now you say you failed because you
Couldn’t change the weather
And now you think you’re me and that
All your ships have all sailed

I’m a four-foot-flaming toaster, no no no
I’m the overripe banana
Your failure’s super cute like
A mini muffin in Montana
I’m the fat cat
Gravitation’s suckin’ up the ether
I’m the queen rat
Taking your mom to shows to please her

I hear what you’re signing but
Your signals are fading
That joke you told, it took hold
Human stocks are trading
I heard you whisper a secret
I smell the cookies you’re baking
I feel the song you sing under your breath
All of the giving you’re taking and
Now you think you’re in my league and
You’re the one who’s faking
You’re the one who’s faking
You’re the one who’s faking
