You Talk A Good One

The hypocritical critic

By Joe PattersonPublished 4 years ago Updated 4 years ago 1 min read

The biggest hypocrites are the biggest critics. You talk a good one but never live it.

Identity? Yeah you switch it, You’re wicked, and don’t understand you’re filled with lies, with more personalities than a bipolar Gemini.

When I listen to the words you feed me, they fade out with your actions that mislead me.

How is it you have a lot of satisfaction, knowing that your words don’t match up with your actions.

It’s despicable how you do your brothers. To my face you’ll say one thing and go and do another.

If she was here right now what would your mother say when she saw you point me in one direction then run the other way?

You know how to cause a life sting, day to night sting. Capturing everyone’s hearts when you say the right thing.

Your punches always pack the hardest hits. You’re unaware that you’re a big self absorbed narcissist.

You put up a special face to win people over, once they serve you no more, you give people over.

You’re good at playing the best games. Everyone around you is a pawn in your chess game.

Ever wondered what is your fate? or the fact that you’re only close with people you can manipulate?

Let’s get it’s straight and hear it straight. You’re very skilled at talking the talk, but we’ll never see you demonstrate.

Maybe it’s time you sit back, kick back and reevaluate why your words and actions are a mismatch.

Like Mobb Deep said in “Shook Ones”. You’re a crook one who only utters lies, but you really talk a good one.
