I prided myself on never hating anyone I let their negativity roll off my back Bit my tongue until it was split in two Took their criticism and took the high road I see that was no use Your negativity is a poison Seeping into whatever crevice crack it can find to invade A parasite latching to its host Wanting to bring down my drive my spirit My mind you want to raid You glance at me smirk with contempt because you see in me what you lack in yourself Personality maybe? A smile that shines so bright the very sight of it sickens you But in true fashion I never brag or boast or thrive on the vision of another's misfortune Even though you would love to watch me suffer I use your negativity As my creativity My fuel to leave you in my rearview And as i drive away I will throw up the deuces Make my own way No excuses You wont bring me down!
