Man at the Bernabeu: 12 December 2024

The Daily Merengue is a place where you can feel free to d all things football. Do not be alarmed by the overt RMCF bias. It’s in the name! Shoutout to the mods who do a fantastic job, Valyrian Steel, Felipejack, Juninho, NeRObutBlanco and yours truly, Kung_Fu_Zizou

“Twice emotional stability

Of sound body and tranquility, I deserve it all

Like minds and less enemies

Put my homes on the beachfront

Flyin’ private, what you eat for lunch?

I deserve it all

The respect and the accolades

Lampin’ on the island, watchin’ Cast Away, I deserve it all”

“Keep my name by the world leaders

Keep my crowds loud inside the Bernabeu, I deserve it all

More money, more power, more freedom

Everything Heaven allowed us

I deserve it all”

“‘Cause my intentions was pure

Even when you wasn’t sure

Even with every allure

How much temptation you endured?

You’d probably look for every cure

I said I deserve it all

I’m wakin’ up at 6 a.m.

Six miles a day, conditionin’ my wind

I said I deserve it all”

“I’m showin’ up as your friend

Tellin’ truths better than your next of kin

I said I deserve it all

I never ask for too much credit

Seekin’ validation just for the aesthetics

I deserve it all

I see you as a human first

Even when you didn’t understand your worth

You deserve it all”

“It’s innate to mind my business

Writin’ words, tryna elevate these children

That’s why I deserve it all

Pray for those who prayed against me

Every reason why the football gods sent me

I deserve it all”

“Put a smile on my mama

Good health and good karma

Yeah, she deserves it all

One hundred murals in my honour

Remember me? I kept my promise

Yeah, we deserve it all”

“How annoying, does it angers me to know the lames can speak

On the origins of the game I breathe? That’s insane to me

It’s important, I deserve it all because it’s mine

Tell me why you think you deserve the greatest of all time

I deserve it all”
