Mr Alpha and Master Beta

Mr Alpha and Master Beta 
here to put you in your place 
after all they know much better 
than you with your stupid face 

Too much time on their hands 
noting you and your ability 
challenge you with no chance 
better than you’ll ever be 

In their head they have no equal 
all their friends are lesser people 
born with a skillset exceeding all 
an uncaring nature that of evil 

They see you as controllable 
looking to exploit your failures
believing you’re predictable 
their overconfident by nature 

Boss about because they can 
nothing mutual about their plan 
thinking you don’t understand 
play along get the upper hand 

Feeding knowledge pure and true 
make them assured in all they do 
never return a thing to you 
they don’t feel like they need too 

Let them feel like Mr Alpha 
when really just a Master Beta 
the day they’re desperate for a favour 
keep saying you’ll help them later 

Watch them as they grow inpatient 
the disrespect they show to you 
attitude that knows no different 
say on way though it’s not true 

Leave them hanging waiting around 
while they expect you to show up 
failed expectation confusion found 
abandon friendships come unstuck 

They thought they were the Alpha 
but they’re a Master Beta 
they see you as their helper 
show them you’re a traitor
