Lyrics
[verse]
He bought a shiny chain and kicks that cost a grand,
Practicing his swagger in the mirror every day,
Talks like he invented every trend across the land,
But the neighbors crack up laughing when he walks away
[chorus]
Oh he thinks he's so smooth, oh he thinks he's so fly,
Copying the posters, copying the walk and talk,
Thinks he's fooling everybody, thinks nobody sees the lie,
Really he just wants somebody clapping when he stops
[verse]
Dances for the camera, strikes a pose for every phone,
Borrowing the lingo like it's something he can own,
Friends keep telling him to chill, to just be his own man,
But he can't hear a word - he's chasing something he can't understand
[chorus]
Oh he thinks he's so smooth, oh he thinks he's so fly,
Copying the posters, copying the walk and talk,
Thinks he's fooling everybody, thinks nobody sees the lie,
Really he just wants somebody clapping when he stops
[bridge]
Take the mask off for a second,
Take a look at who's beneath,
Maybe there's a better story
Than the one you're trying to keep
[chorus]
Oh he thinks he's so smooth, oh he thinks he's so fly,
Copying the posters, copying the walk and talk,
Thinks he's fooling everybody, thinks nobody sees the lie,
Really he just wants somebody clapping when he stops
