The ears of my Maker shall not be denied of this 

That you promised to be your best

But made a U-turn when you eyed the rest

You told me to accept it and not to say a word 

You asked me to leave work, that I needed to be worked on

I will tell my Maker how you lied to me

When I meet my Maker

I will tell Him the days I skipped my prayers

I will tell Him how I slept without some ishā

How hard I worked day and night to be fit, to fix and feed you

I will tell Him how you made me forget my maker

I will ask if really "you owned me" and not Him

When I meet my Maker

I will plead with Him to temper justice with mercy

That I was only jealous of you having Nancy

Which made me forget I was made for nothing

Other than to bow to You my maker

I will ask my Creator to punish you rather

For making me feel less to Nancy

For telling me always that you owned me

For making me patronize Sidi for the slow poison

When I meet my Maker

I will tell Him how I killed out of jealousy

How my heart popped out seeing your corpse

I will tell my maker truly I have wronged

And because I know He is the God of Justice

I will walk straight to hell because you made me nothing but evil
