If Sango were in my shoes
Lightening will shred dark skies
Thunder will accompany whimpering cries
He will strike and strike and strike again
Till all culprit freeze in death
Yet the bereaved must feast
They must dance and throw a feat
No one cries to Sango vengeance beats
Oba k'oso, Hurler of stones
Your anger I do not seek
Your vengeance I do not wish
Ogun Lakaye! Were he in my shoes!
He would divorce heads from their necks
With a whiz of his sword
He would starve his body of water bath
For the relish of blood baths
He does not forgive, his eyes are blind to mercy's pleas
I too shall avenge
When my hands find the rods of revenge
Upon my friend kissing and tell
And those mouthing my never doing well
To release my fury in its fullness
For in my greatness
Shall be my revenge
