Odun De! Odun De! (Happy New Year!) |
| Once, |
| Upon a time a stuttered disgusted me, |
| Muttered distrust at me, |
| Pity you couldn’t fly… |
| I’ve only ever taken what’s mine, |
| So what if I help you, |
| I’m helping myself, too? |
| Twice, |
| I got the wind knocked out of me, |
| Why? |
| Just to curl up and die? |
| No, I’ve got too much pride. |
| So I, |
| I breathe it in then let it out slow, |
| When I turn to go, |
| Find you trailing behind. |
| I fought for every last inch that I got. |
| Forgive me for leaving my spot. |
| Not standing in w8 while you finished the race, |
| With those two broken legs you’ve got. |
| One thing’s for sure… |
| If I were you I never would have let it stop me… |
| I never have before. |
| And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you, |
| You’d thank me! |
| You’d get down on one knee, |
| No matter how much it hurt, |
| And you would say «I'm sorry», |
| But I would say it first… |
| Once, the two of us were eye for an eye, |
| Now I’ve given up trying, |
| How could I be so blind? |
| You’ll never let me settle the score, |
| To you I’m the scourge, |
| Not the the partner in crime. |
| I fought for every last one of you schmucks! |
| I might as well have saved my luck. |
| Not wasted it all on some shortsighted, |
| Know-it-all, |
| So-called friends, |
| You’re not. |
| One thing’s for sure… |
| If I were you I never would have let it stop me… |
| I never have before. |
| And if you knew what I went through while trying to get through to you, |
| You’d thank me! |
| You’d find me in a dream, |
| On some uncharted map, |
| And I would say I’m sorry, |
| And you would want me back… |
| Once, |
| The world was just a web and a spider, |
| And so was I. |
| A liar in a dress of white. |
