ACES
Verse 1
Should I lay my cards down? Should I go all in?
Can’t read the eyes behind the glass, that poisons from within
(Chorus)
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo)
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down.
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo)
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down.
Verse 2
Anxiety – it boils my blood, Crawls beneath my skin.
Can’t seem to calm my beating pulse. Sweat – drips down my chin.
(Chorus)
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo).
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo).
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down
(Bridge)
Then I fall into your eyes,
A warm embrace to calm me.
Summon the steel, call his bluff,
I lay my last bet calmy.
(Chorus)
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo).
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo).
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down
Verse 3
The dealer is a swindler. Always stealing’ from the masses.
A hustler’s move played so smooth, As my heart turns into ashes
(Chorus)
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo).
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down
Trouble in the city (echo). Trouble in the town (echo).
Ante up and take what’s dealt, Before you lay your aces down.
