Original Poem: Less Than You
I'm not less than you
If I don't dress like you
Fake impress like you
Upgrade my address like you.
I'm not less than you
Feel need to confess like you
Hide the mess like you
Think I'm blessed like you.
I'm not less than you
If my wallet won't stress like you
Don't gotta have the best like you
Build my nest like you.
I'm not less than you
Won't say yes like you
Judge the rest like you
Hypocrite at its crest like you.
