Bigger Man

by Joy Oladokun

Lyrics
Here you go again
Still out still right still not listening
How it's always been
Doesn't make it make any sense
You were born on the high road
But somehow I always go higher
Oh I hit all the high notes
But still don't got a seat in the choir
I've paddled upstream where the river ran
I've turned sticks and stones to an olive branch
I've made a full house from a bad hand
Yet here I am still gotta be bigger than the bigger man
Turn the other cheek
At some point you wonder how nice can you be
Was it up to me
Maybe it's your turn to think before you speak
Your streets are golden
Mine are paved with your leftovers
The world's spinning backwards
Same things happen over and over

And over

I've paddled upstream where the river ran

I've turned sticks and stones to an olive branch

I've made a full house from a bad hand
Yet here I am still gotta be bigger than the bigger man

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

It's not your problem
You think it's none of your business

Oh you think you're tired

Try it longer than three minutes

I've paddled upstream where the river ran

I've turned sticks and stones to an olive branch

I've made a full house from a bad hand
Yet here I am still gotta be bigger than the bigger man

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
