No One Before Him
He puts no one before him. He's always first in line.
He only wears fancy suits.
He lives to wine and dine.
He puts no one before him. He's always center stage.
He only respects brilliance.
He tops the smartest sage.
He puts no one before him. He's always superman.
He only plays as linchpin.
He writes the master plan.
He puts no one before him. He's always mister clean.
He only smiles for cameras.
He fronts each magazine.
He puts no one before him. He's always icon king.
He only stops for fanfare.
He sides on the first-string.
He puts no one before him. He's always number one.
He only travels first class.
He fools around for fun.
