Call Me Maverick

Yeah

They call me what?

(Mav—Maverick)

Walk in, head high, wrong room, right aura

Chip tooth grin, I was raised outta order

Black boots bang on the cracked tile floor

If there’s a locked gate, I’m the boot on the door

Wrong turn kid with the right kind of pressure

Heart like a drum, keeps ticking off measures

I don’t fold, I don’t fade, I don’t flinch

I just lean into the spin, inch by inch (Maverick)

Call me Maverick

I don’t fit that script you wrote

Tear that page, watch it drift like smoke

Call me Maverick

I don’t break, I bend the rules

I’m the one they warned you ‘bout in school

Call me Maverick

Say it once, say it twice, get it habit quick

Call me Maverick

Yeah, the name don’t change, but the whole game flips

Scar on my knuckle, that’s a one-man sermon

Lost a few friends when the engines started burning

Sore throat from the truth that I spit too loud

But I won’t trade sound just to sit in the crowd

Wrong side of “polite,” right side of the moment

If it ain’t real, I don’t want it, I won’t own it

Laugh when they point, I’m immune to the script

Every “can’t” that they chant gets me lit (hey!)

Call me Maverick

I don’t fit that script you wrote

Tear that page, watch it drift like smoke

Call me Maverick

I don’t break, I bend the rules

I’m the one they warned you ‘bout in school

Call me Maverick

Say it once, say it twice, get it habit quick

Call me Maverick

Yeah, the name don’t change, but the whole game flips

Name on my back like a battle scar

I’m not lost, I’m just off your map, too far

You want safe?

I ain’t it

You want real?

(That’s Maverick)

Call me Maverick

I don’t fit that script you wrote

Tear that page, watch it drift like smoke

Call me Maverick

I don’t break, I bend the rules

I’m the one they warned you ‘bout in school

Call me Maverick

Say it once, say it twice, get it habit quick

Call me Maverick

Yeah, the name don’t change, but the whole game flips
