Transform text in a block?

Question

css

Hello!
The guys faced such a problem: There is a block in it there is text and the text I need to tilt to the left by 45 degrees and the block to the right by 45 degrees, but nothing works to make the transformation work only in 1 order!

<style>
.nav-item:hover {
    background: #C9DF75;
}

.menu-footer .navbar-footer .navbar-nav > li {
    
    position: relative;
    float: none;
    display: inline-block;
    margin: 0 auto;
     transform: skewX(-17deg); 
    list-style-type: none;
}

Use a text wrapper (same span) and rotate it 90 degrees instead of 45
