Velvet Cage

Lyrics
Verse 1
Gold chain cold on his chest
Pockets deep, he don't stress
Sippin' brown in a crystal glass
Laughin' low while the bottles pass
He came in with the midnight crew
Black coat, bad mood, and a coupe
Cash talk loud in the private room
Smoke in the air, bass boom-boom
She step out like a blade on ice
Bare skin glow, damn, she nice
Tattoo on her side like art
Eyes on the bar, hands on hearts
He say, "Baby, don't act shy"
She grin back, "Watch me fly"
Bills in the air, she bends that way
Rich boy grin, gone all day
Pre-Chorus
One more round, let it burn
Spin that pole and make him learn
Hands up high, don't look away
This whole damn room got paid today
Chorus
Shake it, shake it, make them lose it
Strip club queen, she brutal with it
Drip so hard, they can't refuse it
Rich boys drunk and they abuse it
Shake it, shake it, make them lose it (lose it)
Strip club queen, she brutal with it (with it)
Cash on deck, and the mood is ruthless
Hot in here, and the whole place lit
Verse 2
New face, new watch, new grin
He came in strapped with a sin
Diamond teeth and a wolfish stare
He don’t blink, he just sits there
She on the stage in a slow-motion glide
Every damn eye locked on her stride
Red lip, gold heel, thigh on shine
She tease the room, say, "I'm all mine"
He got drunk off a crooked smile
Threw that stack with a ruthless style
She twirled once, then laughed out loud
"Y'all rich boys so damn proud"
Back room talk and a bassline throb
He count his money like it's a job
Then he lean in close, low and mean
"Girl, you the whole damn scene"
Pre-Chorus
One more round, let it burn
Spin that pole and make him learn
Hands up high, don't look away
This whole damn room got paid today
Chorus
Shake it, shake it, make them lose it
Strip club queen, she brutal with it
Drip so hard, they can't refuse it
Rich boys drunk and they abuse it
Shake it, shake it, make them lose it (lose it)
Strip club queen, she brutal with it (with it)
Cash on deck, and the mood is ruthless
Hot in here, and the whole place lit
Bridge
[F] You want the truth? I own this floor
I walk in, they beg for more
Don't save me, baby, let me shine
I'm the storm and the finish line
[M] Damn, she cold, damn, she mean
Make a king feel broke by the scene
We don't sleep, we don't slow
We came here just to lose control
Chorus
Shake it, shake it, make them lose it
Strip club queen, she brutal with it
Drip so hard, they can't refuse it
Rich boys drunk and they abuse it
Shake it, shake it, make them lose it (lose it)
Strip club queen, she brutal with it (with it)
Cash on deck, and the mood is ruthless
Hot in here, and the whole place lit
Outro
Late-night sins in a velvet haze
Money rain under strobe-lit blaze
She wave goodbye with a savage grin
He leave messed up, and he knows he sin (oh)
Shake it, shake it, make them lose it (lose it)
