Shed no mercy or tears

Strike when attacked

Watching your back, they could attack.

I never know from which angle.

Trust me they’re no angels.

They approach when you expect it.

But only lies come out of these snakes' mouths.

Uttering whispers that hardly make a sound.

I know how they play, and the rules of the game.

None. Strike when attacked.

Shed no mercy for those who did not for you.

Impress them with your knowledge.

When they go low, this one time……

Please go lower.

You deserve it.

You need it

I am not mean, nor aggressive,

I am honest and assertive.

I don’t intimidate you,

You are intimidated.

I’m loud, blunt, honest and rare.

But you can’t find a rare gem like me just anywhere.

We’re hidden gems.

Gotta search to find us.
