Verse 1
They all know him as Joker, back booth, low light,
Bar smellin’ like smoke and last-call fights.
Goons at the table, yeah they laugh, they toast,
Call ‘em friends if you want, but they work for the ghost.
Knuckles got scars, stories sittin’ in his grin,
King of bad decisions, chaos under his skin.
He flicks the lighter, cigarette kissin’ the flame,
That’s when a cracked voice cuts through the noise in the game.
Pre-Chorus
Corner of his eye catch a scene unfold,
A man too loud, too brave, too bold.
Woman sayin’ “leave me alone,” fear in her tone,
Joker exhales slow, heart turnin’ to stone.
Chorus
You can’t stop the Joker when the switch get pulled,
When the room go quiet and his smile go cruel.
He don’t need a reason, don’t need a cause,
Bar turns red when he stand and pause.
Glass in his hand, fate in the air,
Everybody learn quick — life ain’t fair.
Verse 2
Dude put a hand where it didn’t belong,
That’s the sound of the record scratchin’ wrong.
Top man grabs him like “Boss, not tonight,”
But you can’t cage fire, you can’t stop a fight.
Bottle come down, hear the glass explode,
One second peace, next second overload.
Tables get flipped, knuckles meet jaws,
Friends of his friends learn street law.
Chorus
You can’t stop the Joker when the switch get pulled,
When the room go quiet and his smile go cruel.
He don’t need a reason, don’t need a cause,
Bar turns red when he stand and pause.
Loyalty movin’ like a pack of wolves,
When Joker swings first, everybody moves.
Bridge
Chairs hit the floor, bodies hit walls,
Echoes of anger bounce off the stalls.
His crew stand tall, backs never bend,
It ain’t just muscle — it’s family till the end.
Verse 3
Last man fall, silence returns,
Smoke in the air, lesson learned.
Bartender frozen, time still shook,
Woman standin’ there with a thankful look.
She says “thank you,” voice still tight,
Joker wipes blood, laughs real light.
Outro
He chuckles low, turns away slow,
Says, “Just wanted to fight, you know.”
Grin fades out in the neon hum,
“You were just a sweet bonus,” then he’s gone.
