Intro] Yeah... Life's a poker table, baby. Sometimes you gotta know when to fold. Sometimes you go all in. [Verse 1] She walked through the door like a queen of hearts, Red dress shining underneath them neon sparks. I said, “Damn, girl, what's your name?” She smiled like she already knew my game. I pushed my chips, said, “Baby, I'm in,” She laughed and said, “Boy, you sure like to gamble.” I said, “I've lost before, but I ain't scared, Long as you're sitting right there in that chair.” [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, I had a good hand, Had a pocket full of dreams, Thought I finally found the woman That was worth everything. [Chorus] I found my queen of hearts, so I went all in, Put my money on the table, put my heart in her hands. But a player across the table had four aces up his sleeve, Had a crooked little smile and a trick nobody could see. He stole my pot, stole my pride, Tried to walk away with my whole damn life. But here's what a gambler oughta know— You don't cheat the table when the stakes get high. [Verse 2 – Rap] He was talking real big, throwing chips around, Whiskey in his glass, trying to own this town. I watched his hands, something didn't look right, Kept catching little glimpses underneath the light. Four aces? Man, that's one hell of a hand, But I knew right then he was running a scam. He took my queen and laughed in my face, Said, “Better luck next time, cowboy, know your place.” I stood up slow, let the jukebox play, Everybody in the bar knew somebody was gonna pay. [Chorus] I found my queen of hearts, so I went all in, Put my money on the table, put my heart in her hands. But a player across the table had four aces up his sleeve, Had a crooked little smile and a trick nobody could see. He stole my pot, stole my pride, Tried to walk away with my whole damn life. But here's what a gambler oughta know— You don't cheat the table when the stakes get high. [Bridge – Half Sung / Half Rap] Then the room got quiet... Like the whole world stopped. His four aces hit the table, And my last chip dropped. One bad decision, One moment of rage, Turned a poker game Into a prison cage. [Verse 3] Now I'm sitting in a cell with a deck in my hand, Thinking about that night and the woman I loved. I thought winning meant taking back what was mine, But I lost everything when I crossed that line. She was my queen, but I played it wrong, Thought being a man meant proving I was strong. Now every night when I shuffle those cards, I see four aces and a broken heart. [Final Chorus] I found my queen of hearts, but I lost that hand, Lost my freedom trying to be a man. Four aces beat me in a crooked deal, But revenge ain't something that'll ever heal. I went all in, thought I couldn't lose, Now I'm paying for the hand I chose. So if you're sitting at the table and the game ain't right, Don't pull that trigger— Just walk away from the fight. [Outro – Spoken] Every gambler learns the hard way... Sometimes the biggest win Is knowing when to fold.
