Imitation (feat. Smith the Poet & Marcus Lee) Video (MV)

What up to Lv.agn for sending me all these goddamn bangers!
AGH! BLAQKNOIZ!
The disaffected malcontent
With the "Malcolm in the Middle" scent
The disconnected internet
Got the talcum powder to Maleficent, made a couple cents
Set a precedent, spite the predecessors
Learn what pressure meant, writing your professors
Met a president, right to drastic measures
Yearn the measurements, fight for your displeasure
The dynamo that made it through Idaho
Indigo with ammo from Oregano and SMPL
From Zydeco to Character's, I dunno
But I feel like I lost my gusto and my dimples
The mispronunciation
The guaranteed accusations of cultural appropriation
The mis-de-education
The completed serenations, unless I watch my dictation
Imitation of a great can only get you so far (Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star (Create a star!)
Indignation ain't ignition when you're starting a car (Start the car!)
You can have a Meeseeks, but he can't get you to par (Get you to par!)
Imitation of a great can only get you so far (Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star (Create a star!)
Elevation ain't elation when you pay with a card (Pay with card!)
In debt, you twenty feet-deep and they raising the bar (Raising the bar!)
'Cause limitation ain't my fate, to fault to flagrant and flawed
The narrative imperative, don't quote, your reasons are wrong
You lack a thesis, the plot, seep a seek for applause
Sift the spoken, I sparked, it's where these posers, a pause
But hold the bedrock, we underground and here's some roots
Learn to fail, dog, mistake yourself for who you knew
Curse my tales, tall, like the elephant in the room
I speak that seldom, same as Lou, just see it different, I come scoop
The made-to-barter, my pre-mandated bother
Of late, my bullshit problems, giving half to who's
Last to lose, passion proved, the past removes the rational
Ready, impractical, smitten, in love, her numb, who isn't?
Wearing a master mimic, the driver take a minute
To hate the hate forbidden, fathom no favor fit in
To those who bear the bitching! But know the f*cking difference
Between the real and written, I speak in skews of gimmicks, 'cause
Imitation of a great can only get you so far (Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star (Create a star!)
Indignation ain't ignition when you're starting a car (Start the car!)
You can have a Meeseeks, but he can't get you to par (Get you to par!)
Imitation of a great can only get you so far (Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star (Create a star!)
Elevation ain't elation when you pay with a card (Pay with card!)
In debt, you twenty feet-deep and they raising the bar (Raising the bar!)
I think I'm stuck in my head too much
The problem is that I said as such, repeatedly
I frequently keep my problems so secretly
Until I snap, or until I'm coming across a beat for me
To release to, I'm tryna be a sifu
But the universe be like "kid there's so much more that I could teach you"
I'm looking for unity 'cause it's new to me
Got all my eggs in being a newer me that's more true to me
I'm stuck between "I'm not a G.O.A.T. but I am soon to be"
And fighting off depression and hoping that it don't ruin me
I'm on the edge, I'm sharp as a knife that's slicing thru the beef
I'm on the edge, I feel like Mufasa, falling to defeat
I'm on the edge, close to the water, feel I'm losing me
But at the same time, I'm gaining more, so I'm game for war
My people like, "what are you waiting for? take it serious"
But truthfully, Lee is unsure of just how sure he is
Concurrently, I feel I'm in rare form, so, therefore
My enemies, I'm running through their force in bear form
Say a prayer for 'em, 'cause I don't care for 'em
And they don't care for me, cue the tears formin'
Imitation of a great can only get you so far (Get you far!)
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star (Create a star!)
Indignation ain't ignition when you're starting a car (Start the car!)
You can have a Meeseeks, but he can't get you to par (Get you to par!)
Imitation of a great can only get you so far
We collide a couple atoms but we can't create a star
Elevation ain't elation when you pay with a card
In debt, you twenty feet-deep and they raising the bar
