Red Room Riches
Lyrics
Intro
Red room
Strobe burn in my eyes
Two bottles in
And the night just started (yeah)
Verse 1 – Rico (deep, laid-back menace)
I walk in, wrist loud, floor hush
Black truck outside, engine crush
Big face bills rolled thick in the clutch
Bouncer say “Rico,” wave, no touch
Gold teeth grin when the lights swing 'round
I don’t talk much, I just scan the crowd
Section on lock, red rope, no crowd
Heavy on the velvet, leather, all brown
Ice on my neck, aye, sweat on her spine
She climb that pole like it’s already mine
I lean way back, sip clear on the rocks
Watch her count time with the drip on my watch
Manager nod, bring sparkles, trays
We burn through a stack like smoke through haze
I don’t chase love, I just chase this buzz
And the feeling that the whole damn room is us (yeah)
Chorus – Crowd + Strippers
Too much cash for the floor, it float
Too many shots in my blood, I choke
Too many eyes on me when I stand
Whole club lean when I lift this hand
Pour that vodka, let it rain, let it rain
Twist that body till you can’t feel pain
Red room riches, sin on display
If we walk in, you know we stay
Verse 2 – Blaze (higher energy, wild)
I’m Blaze, I crash, I crash through doors
Kicks white, shirt black, mind at war
Card swipe once, then twice, then more
Tab so tall, hit the god of the floor
I’m spinning, I’m laughing, the booth look slow
DJ blur, but the bottles still glow
I toss ten bands like a broke man joke
Then double it quick like a mirror smoke
Her eyes neon, hair in a twist
Tat down her thigh like a branded wish
She grab that pole, then drop, then split
I throw three stacks just to punctuate it
My crew in the back, they bark, they cheer
Somewhere in the dark, I lose one year
I’m yelling for more and my drink too full
But the room too hot and my will too dull
Pre-Chorus – Blaze
I’m off balance, off center, off track
Heart like a drum in a wolf pack
Every bad thought that I ever had here
Sit in this booth, staring back in the mirror
Chorus – Crowd + Strippers
Too much cash for the floor, it float
Too many shots in my blood, I choke
Too many eyes on me when I stand
Whole club lean when I lift this hand
Pour that vodka, let it rain, let it rain
Twist that body till you can’t feel pain
Red room riches, sin on display
If we walk in, you know we stay
[Verse 3 – Nova (stripper, cool, razor-sharp)]
Name’s Nova, stage lights kiss my skin
I clock in late, still they let me win
Hearts on my heels, steel in my stare
I pick my prey by the weight they wear
Rico too calm, Blaze too loud
Both same hunger in a different shroud
I read their hands, I can see that thirst
I flip that script, make ’em pay me first
Slide up slow, ear close to the breath
Tell him sweet things ’bout love and death
He nod like a saint in a sinner’s land
While I map each bill from his shaking hand
I work that pole like it owe me rent
Every bruise on my thigh mean every dollar spent
I’m not your dream, I’m a contract signed
Between your bad habits and my grind
Bridge – Nova
Red light on my shoulders
Bass in my knees
You see a fantasy
I see fees
You see a wild night
I see the toll
You call it freedom
I call control
Verse 4 – Rico
Nova lock eyes, whole room mute
She move like a sermon in a silk suit
I’m jaded, I’m faded, I’m halfway gone
But I still know
