The Grudge
Gonzales Lyrics

I hold a grudge like a rapper holds his crotch
I hold onto my anger and resentment towards you like a rapper holds onto his crotch, tightly and unyielding.

So just watch me
You should be cautious of my intentions towards you.

If you snub me I'll try to control my temper
If you disrespect me, I will attempt to keep my emotions in check.

But I'll definitely remember
I will not forget the slight or offense you gave me in any way.

See, what I need are enemies
I require someone to target in order to fuel my anger and grudge-holding behavior.

Please, a nemesis or nemeses
I am requesting a worthy adversary or adversaries to oppose me.

They say revenge is like sashimi
Retribution should be served cold, like raw fish in Japanese cuisine.

Best served cold, so shiver when you see me
You should tremble when crossing paths with me, as I am capable of exacting revenge when you least expect it.

My occupation is much like a doctor
My role in this grudge-holding is similar to that of a medical professional - I have many patients, or targets.

I got a lot of patients
I have many individuals or groups that I hold grievances against.

Seasons change, tick tock
Time passes and with it, my patience and resolve to carry out revenge grow stronger.

And strange how I smile when I see you
It is peculiar how content I feel when encountering you, knowing that my grudge is still active.

Yeah, I'm so cunning
I am crafty and deceptive in my actions towards you.

If I put it in your mouth
If I feed you something, or put an idea in your head.

Then you won't see it coming
You will be caught off guard and unprepared for what I have planned for you.

But the truth is I need you
Despite my grudge and anger towards you, I find myself reliant on your presence to fuel it.

If you ever said sorry
If you were to apologize and express remorse for your actions.

I would just hate to believe you
I would be hesitant to accept your apology and forgive you, as my grudge runs too deep.

You are my grudge and I won't budge
You are the focus of my grudge and I will not relinquish it.

This is my right, who are you to judge?
I feel justified in my grudge-holding and do not need your approval or understanding.

I'm aiming for you, I'm willing to wait
You are my target and I am willing to wait as long as necessary to achieve my revenge.

I'm willing to work, I'm willing to hate
I am dedicated to carrying out my grudge, even if it requires effort and intense hatred on my part.

You are my grudge, I'll never forget
You are my adversary and I will not forget the wrongs you have inflicted upon me.

What you owe me, I'll collect the debts
I will make sure you pay for what you have done to me, and will not stop until I feel justice has been served.

And if it's the last thing I manage to do
Even if it means giving up everything else in my life, I will see this through to the end.

The best laid plans of mice and me
Despite my careful strategies and tactics, my attempts at revenge may still fail.

And nowadays you're so basically nice to me
Lately, you have been displaying kindness and pleasant behavior towards me, which makes me uncertain about my grudge.

How can I hate you? You say 'how are you Jason?'
Your friendly demeanor towards me makes it difficult for me to maintain my anger and grudge against you.

And I'm plotting your humiliation
Despite your kindness, I am still planning to seek revenge and cause you to feel shame or embarrassment.

We're like Barack and McCain
We are two opposing forces, like the 2008 U.S. presidential candidates.

Mozart, Salieri, Houdini and what's his name
We are like famous historical rivals, such as the composers Mozart and Salieri or the magicians Houdini and an unnamed counterpart.

You know the guy in Montreal who hit him in the stomach
Referring to a real-life incident where a man punched magician Harry Houdini in the stomach, causing his eventual death.

You are my mountain and I will piss on the summit
You are the obstacle in my life, and I will not let you win, no matter what.

And from that very high altitude
From a position of power and superiority.

I will be the one with the high horse attitude
I will be arrogant and boastful in my victory over you.

I'm a sadist, but I'm saying I'm the saddest dude
I get pleasure from causing pain and suffering, and I am proud to be the best at it.

Cause I just did everything I said I'd do
I was able to follow through with my plans and successfully seek revenge.

What's next? I'll be the head honcho?
What will I do next, now that I have achieved my desired outcome?

You'll be gone, but will I still be Gon-zo?
Even if you are no longer a part of my life, I will still be the same grudge-holding person I am now.

Without the competition
Without someone to compete or oppose me.

Will I become a hippie or a hipster with no ambition
Without the desire to seek revenge, I may become a person with no drive or motivation, taking on a laid-back or trendy lifestyle instead.

Please God, no!
Please don't let that happen to me.

You are my grudge and I won't budge
Once again, reiterating that I will not give up my grudge against you.

This is my right, who are you to judge?
Still insisting that my grudge-holding is justified and no one else can tell me otherwise.

I'm aiming it for you, I'm willing to wait
Continuing to target you and waiting as long as necessary to achieve my revenge.

I'm willing to work, I'm willing to hate
Reiterating my dedication to seeking retribution, even if it requires effort and extreme animosity towards you.

You are my grudge, I'll never forget
Once again, emphasizing that you are the subject of my grudge, and it will not be forgotten.

What you owe me, I'll collect the debts
Stressing that I will not rest until you have paid for the wrongs you have committed against me.

And if it's the last thing I manage to do
Reiterating that I will not stop until I have achieved my desired revenge.

It will come right back to you
Emphasizing that my revenge will come back around to you, just as my grudge has been directed towards you from the start.
