Sabotage
[Verse One]
Had a good thing. So I ruined it. Sabotage.
Had a big dream. Not pursuing it. Sabotage.
Had some good advice. I’m refusing it. Sabotage.
Looking in the mirror. I’m abusing him. Sabotage.
Gave a friend my word. Wasn’t true to it. Sabotage.
Opened up my mouth. Put my shoe in it. Sabotage.
Had a bad tooth. So I chew with it. Sabotage.
Opened social media. It drew me in. Sabotage.
Had a small grudge. Let it stew a bit. Sabotage.
Yes, I had the towel: but I threw it in. Sabotage.
Let the phone ring. Don’t care who it is. Sabotage.
Swore I wouldn’t do it. Now I’m doing it. Sabotage.
Made a bad plan. I went through with it. Sabotage.
Had a family. Caused a feud with it. Sabotage.
Second I feel loved, I’m a fugitive. Sabotage.
I’m lying to my friends that I’m cool with things. Sabotage.
Refrain:
I have sabotaged everthing in my life
It keeps happening, happening all the time
Need some help with this
Shit thats been on my mind
It´s a sabotage – yes – it´s a god damn sabotage
[Verse Two]
First I sabotaged here, had a year of despair
Then I grabbed a travelcard, and I sabotaged there
And I sabotaged day and I sabotaged night
Sabotaged worldwide; took a sabotage flight
I am the assassin of my own happiness
Of my own misery, I’m visibly the catalyst
And my collapse has been more spectacular
Than the war for best jollof in West Africa:
I’m presently dipping into therapy
Since it is a remedy for hard knock lives:
Instead of regretting incessantly, seems a better recipe is “laugh’ not cry”
I’ve hidden these miseries in these beats, within this sabotage tune
In the hope you’ll eventually let them out,
Sweat out the sabotage flu
Refrain:
I have sabotaged everthing in my life
It keeps happening, happening all the time
Need some help with this
Shit thats been on my mind
It´s a sabotage – yes – it´s a god damn sabotage
