Status Symbol

To that High End Driver,

It shouldn’t matter what it’s worth, 
I know a car’s not a reflection of you;
Still I’m struck by your status symbol;

Whoever you are?
You reminded us believe in the hustle; 
That hot pink vision just screamed 
‘Baby girl you’ve got to dream big.’

Where ever you go 
flashing five thousand dollar brake lights 
that message is being paraded around; 
You kick rose dust in your spectators eyes;

Whatever you do 
keep playing by your own rules;
With that ride all I see is a trailblazer,
boss mode with the rest in your rear view;

Reality isn’t relevant it’s about the image;
Your hot pink vision just screams ‘Trust me.
Hard work is the ultimate status symbol.’

Just know we see you,
Sincerely Me
