Maverick A Strike Lyrics

Yes eyes
Pick up
Bubble that, yeah
When I come again to take away the pain
Lift up your heart
When I come again to drive away the pain
Lift up your art - I must know

If it ain't of no flower dew
It sure ain't for you
Lift up your art
If it ain't of no flower dew
It'll sure make you blue
Lift up your art

If you don't know
Which way the wind is blowing
Wicked gravity
If you don't know by now
You may never know
When I come again to drive away the pain
Lift up your art
If it ain't of optimism
I will pay no attention
If you should know
I really need you
You would overcome

Feelings

If it ain't of no flower dew
It sure ain't for you
Lift up your heart
If it ain't of no flower dew
It'll sure make you blue
Lift up your heart

Here I come again to drive away the pain
When I come again to drive away the pain
Lift up your heart
If you don't know by now you may never know
If you don't know which way the wind is blowing
Wicked gravity

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

If it weren't for these lines:

If it ain't of no flower dew It'll sure make you blue

It'd be a really simple, but small, song. But since it is there, the song becomes something really special. Instead of it being just one man saying how he'd like people to approach him, it becomes a dialogue via reflection between a man and his god, and a comittment to finding peace from this point onward. Sometimes the line between the man, the god, and the reflection is blurred, which is a really cool effect. Nice!

If it ain't of optimism I will pay no attention

I like this line especially. It's good courageous advice for anyone who is struggling with themsleves, and how life goes.
