Contra Quien Luchaba
Najwa Nimri
Who Was I Fighting Against
(Wait)
(Who was I fighting against?)
(Wait)
(Who was I fighting against?)
I leave the gym and feel
My body in my square place
I think being round would improve my appearance
Heading home
To watch a show about Vikings
Gladiators, I don't know
Some combat
And then I'll buy a bat
Trying to explore the impact
Wait
Who was I fighting against?
Wait wait wait
Who was I fighting against?
Wait wait wait
Who was I fighting against?
I have breakfast
One coffee, two coffees, three coffees
And now to run, to run
And now to run, to run
In the park there are
Runners, trees, boats, weirdos
Crows, chubby people, and fresh faces
I'm well made up
Wait
Who was I fighting against?
Wait wait wait
Who was I fighting against?
But I keep functioning
Like an unconscious cyborg
With no past or present
Just a persistent future
That tells me
That I'm not ready
That I'm worthless
That I don't have
The hair
The skin
Or the right age
Maybe I need the people
Who fought against a being
A common enemy
That makes me so different
Oh no, wait!
It was myself
(It was myself)
Looking at myself in the mirror
Wait
Who was I fighting against?
(Wait wait wait)
(Who was I fighting against?)
Who was I fighting against?
