Ain'T No Different


You’ve been a yes man your whole life,
don’t know any other way to be
Licking the boots and sucking up real close
was the best way to get ahead,
according to your fawning calculation
Self-respect was an acceptable sacrifice
Being a lackey had its perks,
nobody ever looked at you as a threat ...
	to their power
An effete life that’s safely protected
by the powers-that-be
You always followed orders blindly
And influential women loved making you
yield and submit to their every demand
You were their favorite yes man
Giving your nose a deeper color of brown,
you never cared what you smelled like
		           	       getting pissed on
Being a yes man ain’t no different
	than being a whore
Your pimped out loyalty
	is bought and paid for
Having your closeness to power
each day timed on the clock
Then carrying your soiled pride home
each night to get washed
			Licking and sucking,
you’re a bottom feeder for sure
Top-notch yes man,
		a well-paid whore
Didn’t matter to you whatever decision was made,
rubber stamped covered morality 
was how your integrity got laid ...
	         You’re just another modern day slave
Being a yes man ain’t no different
than being a high-priced whore
Your obsequious service as a servile hell boy
is dirty, filthy lucre dirty paid for
