Place No One Above Thee

Is the song everyone sings smugly

Casting stones

On outwardly reflections

Afraid to look in the mirror

At rejection

Infectious

In their state of being

Contagious

Like STD’s in warm seasons

Got each other believing

What they portray to be

As truth

Look a Gangster in his eyes

At his demise

You’ll hear him whispering

Please don’t shoot

Hear a player’s

Unemotional demeanor utter

Damn... she's fucking him too

Watch a female suddenly not like

Her wallet can’t afford those shoes

Now you a Hustler

Weren’t you valedictorian in school?  

How you want to be wifey

Knowing all the guys that ran through?

They’re all used

As to each other

They’re reflecting

They all deny

What they cannot hide

Misguided lives

To be envied

Is their heaven

Instant gratification

Will lead them

To their deathbed

All they see

Is one another
