Hate to break it to you
Jesus doesn't know you by your man

the common man
But it's commonly acknowledged as such
By the bloated fortune they have
They're not admired
They're respected as smart
And at least smart

When inquiry fails so does the admin hierarchy

You might think I'm not for yard

Innocence lost behind the ignorance of envy
Now there's s price to pay revenge
