She Is No Better Than Me

11/5/22


On a damn lot
It's always blast off
Still out to hit the jackpot

For too long I've gotten nowhere and
I know I am
Still a lonely man
Not all goes to plan
Across an unholy land
Where precious resources are mostly scant
Too many don't understand
Quick to show their hand

Took everything not just a right hook
Rarely was I shook
You've no idea how much time it took
Lives were put
In the sky or brooks
She's constantly judging people by looks
Like a book

She's always shallow
For less people got hung from the gallows

Damn son
She thought she pulled a fast one
Looked back none
But the war I already had won
Because her impact was, like that of a capgun
Now that that's done

Regardless if it ever was good enough
Still I stood up
Always it took much
Otherwise it was easy to remain hooked and stuck
Too often people would bluff
Attempting to look tough
Yet so quickly they were shook up
Before another could wish them good luck

Life comes with set backs
I often wear Jet Black
With good reason less chat
You bet that
In ten flat
She taking a step back

I've been down bad or up good above the sewer
Always pulling off a bunch of maneuvers
She thought I was just a loser
And drug abuser
Believing each and every other rumor
All of it brought me much humor

Truth be told she is no better than me 

Never once tried to reach out
Peace out
From the picture she's out

Still it's all the same and a shame
Often playing the blame game
