KNOW WHERE YOU BELONG

Knowing your position on the food chain matters a lot,
No connection is needed for you to have a favorable slot,
Check up for strength and potential weakness,
Avoid sweet-bitter experiences with paintings of mental awareness.

Be conscious of your position whenever you step out into world,
It's always important to know the kind of wagons you're always going to board,
Not everyone you roll around with is to be trusted,
You never can tell who's silently laying in ambush for you to be extremely dusted.

Knowledge about the kind of allies you possess really matters,
Sheep have no business mingling around with cheetahs,
Meekness has nothing to do with aggressiveness,
Predators don't dish out chances to their preys' carelessness.

Know where you stand in life,
Not every story can be smooth like a butter being run through by a knife,
Let your available strength do the talking,
Know more about your weakness to avoid unpredictable stalking.
