i'll never paint the world if i use da vinci's brush
i'll never write like dylan if i'm always in a rush
i'll never help the world by passing on the blame
i'll never help the world by keeping it the same
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
i'll never play like jordan cause my feet don't fit his shoes
i'll never write like mozart because i only know the blues
i'll never know the world from a book up on shelf
i'll never know the world if i never know myself
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
oh and i get my inspiration from the best
oh and i give it all i got and nothing less
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
i can't pretend to be another carbon copy
