Kyle Allen - Carbon Copy

When i was really small, i looked up to your masterpieces
Making the impossible, accomplishing your dreams
When you returned my calls, my world had shifted overall
I knew so little of the job but dang we made a killer team
Since that day i’ve been learning non-stop
I had a taste of glory and i want to be on top
Others started saying i was riding your success
To them i say you helped me out and jumpstarted my progress

But i’m just a carbon copy of you and i didn’t know what to do
I used the tools that i was given and i grew
When you start from the bottom you have much to ovеrcome
Tune out the commеnts and choose who you become
Ignore the hate and decide your fate
You have a date with your destiny
It’s what you do with the projects you pursue
But i’m just a carbon copy and i’m just like you

Now i’m so far into this job, the pressure’s on my shoulders
It weighs me down, i didn’t know that this is how you felt
You have to be a leader and you have to fight for yourself
I just want to be an artist but i’m about to melt
Time to bring on other friends to help me with the chore
There’s nothing wrong with sharing and we’ll help each other more
Let’s expand this world so everyone can win
In the end though we are artists not businessmen

But i’m just a carbon copy of you and i didn’t know what to do
I used the tools that i was given and i grew
When you start from the bottom you have much to overcome
Tune out the comments and choose who you become
Ignore the hate and decide your fate
You have a date with your destiny
It’s what you do with the projects you pursue
But i’m just a carbon copy and i’m just like you

I desired to be like you
But i wanted to be who i am
Creativity comes from the heart
But i needed help to learn the program
It changed me, it built me
Have i improved or am i still a copy
You showed me the way, i turned away
I’m glad that you stayed

But i’m just a carbon copy of you and i didn’t know what to do
I used the tools that i was given and i grew
When you start from the bottom you have much to overcome
Tune out the comments and choose who you become
Ignore the hate and decide your fate
You have a date with your destiny
It’s what you do with the projects you pursue
But i’m just a carbon copy and i’m just like you

But i’m just a carbon copy of you and i didn’t know what to do
I used the tools that i was given and i grew
When you start from the bottom you have much to overcome
Tune out the comments and choose who you become
Ignore the hate and decide your fate
You have a date with your destiny
It’s what you do with the projects you pursue
But i’m just a carbon copy and i’m just like you
