I'm not a martyr of the ark
I'm not a fighter for the dark
I'm just a madman let me be
Don't wanna be on no marquee
I get my kicks from riffs and licks
Get out at 4 be done by 6
Hold up my hands "it wasn't me"
It's just what you want me to be
I'm never gonna be this way
So, baby tell me how to stay
It's not that I'm that way inclined
But f*ck it I tried being kind
I'm not a master of the beat
I never seem to move my feet
But now my directions changed
I gotta focus on my game
It's never been so clear to me
Just what I gotta be
I gotta use my strength to find
That someone new who lives inside
I'm never gonna be this way
So, baby tell me how to stay
It's not that I'm that way inclined
But f*ck it I tried being kind
YEAH, YEAH
I'm not a martyr of the ark
I'm not a fighter for the dark
I'm just a madman let me be
Don't wanna be on no marquee
It's never been so clear to me
Just what I gotta be
I gotta use my strength to find
That someone new who lives inside
I'm never gonna be this way
So, baby tell me how to stay
It's not that I'm that way inclined
But f*ck it I tried being kind
