You are not hot shit, he said.

You walk like a king and talk like a queen, but you shouldn't hold your head up so high when you act like such a whore.

But hey -

Maybe if you look down on someone long enough, they'll stop bowing and scraping (eager to please just because you glanced their way) and realize they were taller than you all along.

They they should look down on you, honey.

And you should learn, he said, that honey dripping from poisoned words doesn't make those words any sweeter.

He said, turn down your nose.

We're all sick of looking up it anyway.
Just remember, no matter how good you think you are, you ain't never good enough to be a hater.

Pride in your work is good, but ego is excessive pride. I am awfully sick of egotistical people lately.
