Maverick

Um um

They call me “Little bad” bad bad

Nano units, Check check check

Enjoy rather than being suffocated, Shoot ‘em up

I don’t care what they say (Swayze)

(Oh) Ain't gonna take it

The predictable Taste, the familiar Trick,

Ain’t that dope dope dope

Open my eyes anew

Super villain in the mirror

I run away, Chasing, farther away

Super bad trouble, I’m only on my way

Cut out the scenes from a corny hero movie

Everything’s just a game to me, Ready

I’m about to play

Back in the game son

Indisputable Changer

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

Don’t be a chaser

Take over City of night

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a Maverick

It’s starting now, 3, 2, 1

Break through a rut where I’m locked up

That’s right, Gonna beyond the wall

Black out, Spotlight on us, Yea yea yeah

When everybody’s trying to be the same

I exist as I am

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a Maverick

Drippin’ drippin’ drippin’ drippin’ drippin’ yea

Just go, do what you usually do, So familiar ah

Following the crowd is the answer

You do that So typical Rumdum-dum

I’ll surprise you in the end, Yeah

A familiar path? That’s so boring

Why am I always so perverse?

I bet all my chips on myself, I don’t quit

You already know that

Super villain in the mirror

I run away, Chasing, farther away

Super bad trouble, I’m only on my way

Cut out the scenes from a corny hero movie

Everything’s just a game to me, Ready

I’m about to play

Back in the game son

Indisputable Changer

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

Don’t be a chaser

Take over City of night

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a Maverick

Face myself in my heart

It’s constantly getting faster, My step

Hold that position, Going my way yea yea

My own Gravity

The unique feeling

The moment it strikes violently

We can get it on

Break the Game son

Indisputable Changer

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

Don’t be a chaser

Take over City of night

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a Maverick

It’s starting now, 3, 2, 1

Break through a rut where I’m locked up

That’s right, Gonna beyond the wall

Black out, Spotlight on us, Yea yea yeah

When everybody’s trying to be the same

I exist as I am

I’m a, I’m a, I’m a Maverick

I’m a, I’m a Maverick
