The One You Listened To

I am the one who throws down the highest spade.
I am the one who says whatever without shade !
I’m the one told them it was ok to invade ,not only did I tell them that it was ok , I showed them the way.
not only did I show them the way ,I showed them my way , the only way I took .
I didn’t procrastinate or bait the hook I show them what it took good or bad happy or sad . who am I , im the one that told you it was ok meanwhile you never said thanks ..
