Fire Drill (Lyrics)
[Intro]
Oh, oh, mmm, mm-mmm
Oh, oh, mmm, oh

[Verse 1]
I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast
Since I was in Sunday School and all the cool kids said I was weird
It's exactly the same, they say, "Why do you dress that way?
Why do you act that way? Why aren't you just like me?"
So is that what you really wanna say to me?
You're playin' games with me
Tellin' me if I'm unkind, still you abandon me
Calling me words I'm not, paintin' a picture that's false
You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault
You live in a world in your clutch, you don't get out very much
Livin' in a fake world, full of facades and chaotic behavior
You pull the lever for fun, yell, "Fire," then you just run

[Chorus]
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Verse 2]
Cryin' inside
'Cause nothin' I say ever comes out right
We're on the same side
If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide
I'm bad at public speaking
But I'm speaking now so hear me out (Shut up)
I personally believe that everyone is fully capable
Of more than what they're doing
All of the bullyin', all of the screwin' around
With people they don't even really know, oh (Blah, blah, blah)
Eatin' a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet
All 'cause you were bored one day
Losin' your wits and your grace

[Chorus]
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Bridge]
I am not the government, I am not the fucked-up men
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Love is seepin' out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore
Even for people who hurt and betrayed me (Okay)
I am not the government, I am not the fucked-up men (Gross)
I am not a part of anything that is hateful
Love is seepin' out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore
Even for people who hurt and betrayed me

[Chorus]
Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit?
Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?
Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day
Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away?
It kills, I wish the best for you
And you think I ignore you too, but
Really, I'm tryna live my own life
And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to

[Outro]
I'm getting out of here

Piggyback (Lyrics)
[Verse 1]
I was three years old, all I wanted was the music
And my parents were doing everything they could
To move away from our place, working overtime always
While I sat up in my grandma's project building coloring
Oh, moved to a small town and started to, started to grow
Poetry written, I'm singing and dancing, oh
Photographs, painting, cartoons
That's all I know, that's all I know, oh

[Verse 2]
I have one best friend to this very fucking day
Since we were five years old and I fucking moved away
I wish I never did 'cause she's the only one who sees me
For who I really am instead of how many I reach, oh
Trusted too many fake people while I was still young
Gave them the benefit of the doubt, I was so wrong
I cut them off and they came for blood 'cause they know
They ain't getting no more

[Chorus]
I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh-oh
Swear to god, I wished y'all all the best, oh
You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit, put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame, what is this?
Tried to help you do your shit, encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

[Verse 3]
Now I'm 22 and I've had a crazy year of isolation
From all the plastic people here
I cannot wait for the day I can finally move away
Back to New York City where the realest people really stay
Oh, spent this whole time writing away my heart and my soul
The people I surround myself with have hearts filled with gold
Love and empathy are things that we hold so close
Trying to learn and evolve

[Chorus]
I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh-oh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh
You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny
I worked hard for my shit, put my love in this shit
Now you're trying to kill my name for some fame, what is this?
Tried to help you do your shit, encouraged you to work on it
Was a good friend and you used that to your advantage

[Outro]
I'm so done with playing piggyback, oh
Swear to god I wished y'all all the best, oh
You're lying your way to try to gain a piece of me
When you could never come close 'cause I know my destiny

Copy Cat (Lyrics)
[Verse 1: Melanie Martinez]
Over my shoulder, eyes peeking in
Analyze my every move, what current state I'm in
'Cause you are colder (brrr) than ice on my skin
Wanna get that A+, baby, so you take my shit
'Cause I am little, right? I won't call you out
Teachers saying you'd get credit, (good job!) why would you stop now?
You are so desperate, craving that spotlight
Shine it on the ones who do that shit, 'cause it's their life

[Pre-Chorus: Melanie Martinez]
But I know the people around you say
"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"

[Chorus: Melanie Martinez]
You're a copy cat
And you take it then you leave it
Honey, just like that, just like that
You're falling flat
You find someone like me to bring you up right back
Up right back

[Post-Chorus]
(Copy cat, copy cat)

[Verse 2: Melanie Martinez]
Obsessed with power, you want it for yourself
Feeding on misogyny
But still, you call yourself a feminista
If that were really true
You wouldn't feel as if I were a current threat to you

[Pre-Chorus: Melanie Martinez]
But I know the people around you say
"Just do what it takes to make it all the way"

[Chorus: Melanie Martinez]
You're a copy cat
And you take it then you leave it
Honey, just like that, just like that
You're falling flat
You find someone like me to bring you up right back
Up right back

[Post-Chorus]
(Copy cat, copy cat)

[Verse 3: Melanie Martinez]
Find someone else to leech on, lady
My blood's for me, not for you, baby
College estate and all your savings
My blood's for me, so no more taking

[Verse 4: Tierra Whack]
Anything you can do, I can do better
Imprisoned for stealing, gon' write you a letter
Courageous and clever, creative director
I raised the bar high, yes sir, I broke the record
I'm hot as peppers, my words are in leather
Scuffed up my boots, boy, I'll stomp you in Skechers
They wanna build like their first name is Hector
Back against wall, bitch, I am a projector
From the projects, don't check on my ex
Think you're the boss, then I'll break broken necks
Wish you the best, won't show you my next move
So, I guess you'll be upset
Don't cry, no baby, you'll find your own way
Think for yourself, it'll all be okay
Copyright lyrics, you can't steal my spirit
They live for my music, they're dyin' to hear it

[Bridge: Tierra Whack]
Imitated, never duplicated
You wish you related
You wish you'd have made it
Imitated, never duplicated
You wish you related
You wish you'd have made it

[Chorus: Melanie Martinez]
You're a copy cat
You take it then you leave it
Honey, just like that, just like that
You're falling flat
You find someone like me to bring you up right back
Up right back

[Post-Chorus]
(Copy cat, copy cat)
