Mr. Martyr Lyrics

Watch em laugh laugh laugh laugh laugh like a hyena
Taking a chance wouldn't last if you ask Mr. Martyr
x2

If you're sicker than sickle-cells
then follow me in hell I'm possessed,
by the devil
Brand new heart for a heartless bastard
When evil spills it all but dissolves
Spreads in a cluster
Mic check checky checky
wish I could go back to the beginning
give it meaning, But I definitely can't
Instead of walking away shoulda definitely ran
Shoulda woulda coulda but I definitely can't
Could be my daughter first, old words have no recovery
Tryna muscle her way through the back door
Caught at the end still tryna dig deep
Forever at drift, key hole vision
Painting all over the walls
cause I don't have a canvas
I know it won't last still taking my chances
Playground games double dutch with a pro
She's an artist

Most likely to be crucified
straight talkin' head honcho
x2

I shoulda waited for the rescue
No connection to the legend that was untrue

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.
