Imposters!

They say you took something that belonged to them

And maaan, they're gonna kick your white a

Imposter

I'm just a middle-class white kid from Toronto

In spite of how I sound

My single went platinum, i'm bigger than Marley, Jimmy, and Yellowman

But I'm not even mulatto

My reggae's watered down

Hear me on the radio, think I could not be blacker

But on my video, you see Ii'm really a cracker

Pretending I was a rasta since I was in jammies

I should paint my face and start belting out mammy!

You can criticise me all the way to the bank

My single's number one and Shabba don't rank

Time Warner kicked Ice-T off of the label for dissing the cops

They said it just ain't right

But when a caucasian man records a cop-hating song

They don't have a problem

Must be an oversight

All the jamaicans think I gave them a bum steere

But everything I know, I learned from a auctioneer

The bidding will start at seven for this here Gauguin

Eight, do I hear eight, nine who'll give me ten

I got ten, ten gone once, going twice sold

I can spout jibberish, and it will go gold

I am what I am and that's all that I am

I rap in your songs with the best of my abilitity

You need a black man to increase your credibility

When put on the spot, I side with the rasta

Cause the sean ain't down with no imposter

Imposter

Like Vanilla Ice the people are sick of me

They put my boom-boom down

In four months my butt will be back in Canada working a day job

And with a burger crown

Would you, would you, would you like fries with that?

A hot apple pie with that?

Just drive around man!

Blue class!

Aaaaaaaargh!

Hey man!

You wouldn't hit a man with glasses, would you man?

I'm warning you, man

I shot the sheriff!

Exodus ho now
