High Stakes Illusion

[Verse] Cards on the felt, I'm feelin' like a kingpin, Stack chips high, dreams of Vegas blingin'. Sweat on my brow, think I'm hittin' that flush, Pocket aces, got 'em all in a hush. [Verse 2] Readin' faces, no tells, just lies, Eye twitch, double bluff, watch 'em all despise. Straight face, masked nerves, heart beatin' wild, All in, I'm cold, just a hustlin' child. [Chorus] Thought I had the game, but the table turned, All chips gone, bridges burned. Thought I hit the jackpot, walked out broke, Just a fool’s errand, cruel joke. [Verse 3] Shoes worn thin, back to the grind, Penniless pockets, no fortune to find. Every hand felt right, but Lady Luck blind, Gambled away dreams, left nothin’ behind. [Bridge] Dusty chips, fallen dreams on the rail, Tales of bluff and fail. High on illusions, now a cautionary tale, Poker face shattered, fortune veiled. [Verse 4] Now I'm wakin' from that high-stakes dream, Wallet light, heavy heart, silent scream. Next time, careful where I place my bet, Ain't winnin' nothin' yet, just a lesson to get.
