Winning is Everything

Sad to learn you’ve been running your puffed up mouth ’bout our ride
Telling those who will listen
That I devised and set out to be your hospitable wife
And it’s a bad state for me
Truly, ’cause I was crushing
On the thought we might move past just mediocre f*cking

Winning is everything when it comes to my pride
Tried to be your woman but
You underrated your rival and got too mighty and high
No stealthy seduction could force me to respect you
Not with the way you crossed me
I said it first
Stomach the loss
You’re not that smart

Clearly got too much worked up over an inept, bottom rung someone
Should have known what I felt
Could not be matched by you or anyone
I’ve played my hand non-stop and hard
Tracking points since my day one
Fortune is not my mother
I’ve been lucky on my own

Winning is everything when it comes to my joy
Tried to be feminine but
Custom has a way of only extricating the boys
No strong-arm mandate could force me to swallow it
All that gender disparity
I said it first
Stomach the loss
You’re not that smart

Whoever says winning is not their top priority
Has yet to see life through my eyes
Has not been branded quite like me
Ding! Score!
Top off my glass ’cause that’s one more point for me
Analeptic for all who notice me one-up you so easily!

Winning is everything when it comes to my name
Tried to be tolerant but
Once they berated my honor peace made no sense to sustain
No exhortation could force me to obey this
Their fear is why they shun me
I said it first
Stomach the loss
You’re not that smart!
