I know what you say but not what you preach.
I dare you to tell me all the things that you speak.
I’m evil, I’m selfish, I’m worse than I seem.
How could you know when hate’s all you see?
You may think I’m a fake, that my future is bleak.
But I’ll tell you something,and I won’t repeat:
I’m more than you think, and I’ll guarantee
I’ll be more successful than you’ll ever be.
