[Verse 1]
Harper at the bar, leanin' on the chrome
Standards low, but he don't wanna go home
Eyes on the room, got a risky little grin
Pocket full of hope and a half-dead win
He wants one dance, then a lucky hand
Tomorrow got a pigeon shoot and a money plan
Makers and Sprite, ice clinkin' in the cup
He talk big game when the night start jumpin' up
[Pre-Chorus]
Love um leave um, that's the rule he know
One girl's smile, and his guard go slow
He say, "If she call, then I might just fold"
If she roll through, he might strike gold
[Chorus]
Let's gamble, rap
Let's gamble, rap
Harper bettin' hard
On a spark in the dark
Let's gamble, rap
Let's gamble, rap
He might leave with a queen
And a little more luck than he asked for
[Verse 2]
Black girl walk in, clean fit, sharp eyes
Harper straight froze like he caught sunrise
She laughed at his line, said, "Boy, you bold"
He said, "Baby, I'm a mess, but I might got gold"
He said, "Tomorrow's big money, got a shot to take
Need a little good luck for the hand I make"
She sipped her drink, then she raised that brow
Said, "You better play smart if you want me now"
[Pre-Chorus]
Love um leave um, that's the rule he know
One girl's smile, and his guard go slow
He say, "If she call, then I might just fold"
If she roll through, he might strike gold
[Chorus]
Let's gamble, rap
Let's gamble, rap
Harper bettin' hard
On a spark in the dark
Let's gamble, rap
Let's gamble, rap
He might leave with a queen
And a little more luck than he asked for
[Bridge]
Dealer of the night, she cut that truth
Said, "You want a chance? Then act like you
Don’t just talk, don't bluff, don't boast
Put your heart on the table, then you get the most"
Harper nodded slow, no more frontin' now
Changed his whole stride when she looked him down
One last sip, then he took that chance
Tomorrow in the dirt, tonight in a dance
[Chorus]
Let's gamble, rap
Let's gamble, rap
Harper bettin' hard
On a spark in the dark
Let's gamble, rap
Let's gamble, rap
He might leave with a queen
And a little more luck than he asked for
