Imposter

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 and 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 I'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 gibberish, and it will go gold I am what I am and that's all that I am (Scat-singing) 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 (Scat singing) Would you - would you - would you like fries with that? A hot apple pie with that? Just drive around man! Blue class! Cool runnings! Aaaaaaaargh! Hey man! You wouldn't hit a man with glasses, would you man? I'm warning you, man - I shot the sheriff!
