You did not know me years ago
You did not know me yesterday
At the rapid rate that I grow
You surely don't know me today

You did not know my ass last week
You can't dance my tricky ballet
You try to bubble and squeak, but
You can't un-code my DNA

You will not see my tomorrows
I think it's safe for me to say
The words you speak— you just suppose
Thats why they only reach halfway

If I could fling a small critique
On the words you endlessly bray
The reason your words ain't on fleek
The reason your words just don't slay

Is you do not know me from Joe
You don't know me in any way
You'll never have me eating crow
Tomorrow, yester— on this day

You dont know my points that are weak
Don't know where I'm easily frayed
I think all your words kind of reek
Of deeply self-hatred— relayed

Did I just boop you on the nose
Did I deadhead your red bouquet
You see— when I'm coming to blows
I spend time studying my prey

My words hit the target I seek
It's chess, not checkers that I play
If you were a bit more unique
Were not see-through like lingerie

I wouldn't have caught you by the toe
In less than a calendar week
Yes, I learn at a quick tempo
It's a small part of my mystique

A fact you would already know
If you had of studied my streak
Instead, from your self you borrow
All the topics of your critique
