What You Learned Now It Is Their Turn

If they con the majority and all the world believes them 
and you are the minority that witnessed them deceiving 
they think that it justifies the error you believe in 
that is dismissed as your mistake and is a thought for leaving 

Expecting you to let it go as you’re alone and you’re a clown 
telling everyone you know that you don’t know what’s going down 
think you’ll follow others round and do as they do eat the ground 
but a wolf wanders with freedom bowing down to no ones crown

when they begrudge you they misjudge too forgetting everything they ever knew 
don’t let it bug you as their corrupt view overestimates what they can do 
they’ve come to believe you are beneath 
because that is the stupid view 
see a weakness they think I’ll beat this 
blind to any strength in you 

You know when you have had your turn 
at learning what their yet to learn 
and though they act without concern 
you’ve been there and know the burn 

They aim at you when they see value 
you don’t face what you do have too 
but they’re desperate to attract you 
believing they’ll win and you’ll lose 
bringing misery to your mood 
when finally they’ll feel approved 
but you can see this pointless move 
a worthless thing for you to do 
with no motivation to pursue 
the victory or the gratitude 
watch them win they’ll be rude 
watch them lose they’ll be crude 
it won’t affect your attitude 
they’re behind you out of view
