[Intro – nostalgic vinyl hum, crisp snare tap] Deck’s shuffled tight, no room for luck I’m counting cards, I’m calling your bluff [Verse 1 – sharp, determined] Clock ticks loud in the back room haze Cigarette smoke curls where the losers gaze Folded bills stack on the scuffed oak table Every raise I make’s a calculated fable I don’t chase highs, I chase the final stake Every hand I play’s a choice I can’t retake [Pre-Chorus – building tension] You think I’m gambling on a lucky streak But I’ve been mapping every move you speak No tells, no shakes, I keep my cool intact This ain’t no game, this is a fact [Chorus 1 – bold, unyielding] I’m playing my hand, and I’m playing for keeps No folding when the pressure starts to creep Every chip’s a promise, every bet’s a vow I’m walking out with everything or nothing now [Verse 2 – gritty, reflective] I’ve seen the ones who lost it all on a single draw Crumpled pride and a broken jaw I’ve slept on couches, scraped for every dime Now I’m here to claim what’s mine You flash that ace like you’ve already won But I’ve got a trick that’s never been done [Pre-Chorus 2 – rising intensity] You think the deck’s stacked in your favor, kid But I’ve been reading every lie you hid No mercy here, no second chance to beg This is the moment I’ve been waiting for, no regret [Chorus 2 – amplified, unapologetic] I’m playing my hand, and I’m playing for keeps No backing down when the stakes run deep Every card’s a weapon, every play’s a fight I’m taking what’s mine when the final light hits [Bridge – raw, urgent] The room goes quiet when I lay my cards down You’re sweating bullets, your confidence drowns I didn’t get here by rolling the dice I built this win with every late-night price No shortcuts, no cheats, just pure will I’m leaving here with the crown, you’re standing still [Final Chorus – explosive, triumphant] I played my hand, and I played for keeps I crushed the pressure, I conquered the streets Every chip’s a victory, every bet’s a win I’m walking out on top, no more looking in I played my hand, and I played for keeps No folding when the world tried to make me weep Every card’s a story, every play’s a life I’m taking my throne, I’m ending the strife [Outro – fading vinyl crackle, final snare hit] Deck’s put away, the lights go low I’ve got the win, I’ve got the glow ```
