[Chorus]
My name is Mars, the god of wars
Covered in scars
I have no regrets
My name is Mars (who?), the god of wars (what?)
Covered in scars (why?)
I have no regrets

[Verse 1]
I wear my shield, I step outside
I grab a meal, then I pick a fight
I lay it down, no right or wrong
I go to town with a bomb ass song

[Chorus]
My name is Mars (who?), the god of wars (what?)
Covered in scars (why?)
I have no regrets
My name is Mars (who?), the god of wars (what?)
Covered in scars (why?)
I have no regrets

[Verse 2]
Bulletproof vest, I'm well dressed
I start the car, then I start a war
I throw my spear, sincerely
You come near you pay it dearly

[Chorus]
My name is Mars (who?), the god of wars (what?)
Covered in scars (why?)
I have no regrets
My name is Mars (who?), the god of wars (what?)
Covered in scars (why?)
I have no regrets

[Bridge]
Sun, moon and the stars
Don't worry about Mars
Rome wasn't built in a day
It wasn't built in a night, yeah
Romulus, Remus, it's okay
Venus, the stars are gonna shine tonight
It's gonna be okay
Alright, bad man, Friday night
Bad man
Friday night

[Chorus]
My name is Mars (who?), the god of wars (what?)
Covered in scars (why?)
I have no regrets
My name is Mars (who?), the god of wars (what?)
Covered in scars (why?)
I have no regrets
Bad man
Bad man
