Every time I write things
I check you, I fear you
That is why I learned to avoid
Cuz that is the fair way
Heed citations one last time
Theft! I don?t want no theft
Identity theft is when
Whole work is pinched
All this work is claimed by me
Baby there?s a price to pay
Then I?ll just get some of the piece
A little section or a phrase
Copycat,
You should do that never
Ain?t gonna make you safe no never
You should never ever plagiarize
Oops I did it again (bye,bye,bye)
Then I?ll just change some lines
But maybe keep some together
A little there, a little here
You?re cherry-pick my dear.
I?ve walked this ceaseless street
I?ll just use the same text I?ve made in years
But I?ll be sure to see
That I?ll cite myself, to avoid mitosis
Or maybe use just a part of it
Maybe need not cite me
Stay back baby please
Cause you shouldn?t recycle.
You should go think this through
Paraphrase and then brew
Take up everything
You want and need
But don?t you dare say it?s your own
heard by your ears
Don?t forget to cite each
Source, pioneers.
Don?t you dare claim it?s your own
For you might be called
A writer that remix and borrow
Hey there Delilah
What?s it like in Ghost Cite city?
You?re books a thousand miles away
And your words seem a little phony
I said it?s too fake to plagiarize.
Cite some sources,
Do it for some more
Do it properly
Apply it to four more
Forget some sources
Cut it by the thread
As if it was something that you haven?t even read
Half-n-half it?s just another way to lie.
You know I?d understand each word
Misinterpretation that?s unacceptable
Warping it with cherries on top.
That?s not the right track, baby stand on
the right way
I knew it was troubled when I passed it
Cause I?m happy
I did cite
Though I barely
Placed my side
Why you gotta be mosaic
Don?t you know how to think
C?mon C?mon place your own form on
It?s time to place your mirror off
Gotta do each line, put a pattern on
Make our own, not reflections.
Beware not to miscue,
Be? beware not to miscue
It?s when you mistake
And place the wrong link
Half-hearted
Everything seems right till the middle
When your mind tends to twiddle
And you mistook the tiny details like a needle
So why won?t you ride with me, ride with me
See where you went wrong
Make sure what you make is free
What you make is free
Free from plagiary
