I’m not a mad man

I’m not a mad man 
I do the cheapest deal I can
But of appreciable quality though
Coz I gotta save that dough

I’m not a mad man 
I am rolling out my plan
And the only thing you’ll be dealt
Is to tighten your belt

I’m not a mad man
My creed is dearer than clan
Even though my kin feel the heat
I promise you that soon it’s gonna be lit

I’m not a mad man
Come rain or come sun
I have no latitude to retreat 
And all dance shall be to my beat

I’m not a mad man 
I want it all and now to be done
What was supposed to take years
Whether or not pain and tears

I’m not a mad man
I am the chosen one 
To make the hard decisions 
However precarious it be my position 

I’m not a mad man
Be a hater or be a fan
Be it the throng of friends or adversaries 
The coming success will call for anniversaries
