[Intro]
Cards on the table
Eyes on the clock
Four chairs, one halo
Three shadows, one wolf (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Red seven, blue two
He don’t blink, just chews
Lip ring tapping on a chipped glass rim
He says, “Hope luck loves you”
Girl in black hoodie
Sleeves hide all her tells
Stack of wins on her phone like trophies
She been sending boys to hell
Old head shuffling
Hands like weathered stone
Muttered, “I seen kingdoms fall
Over cards and tone”
Me? I’m the quiet storm
One card from a jagged crown
Got a wild in the chamber, face-down loaded
Whole room feels it now
[Chorus]
This ain’t a game, this war in colors
Draw four, draw blood from each other (hey)
Skip your breath, reverse your fate
We don’t shake hands, we calculate
One card left and the walls close in
Say “UNO” low like a whispered sin
We don’t bluff, we burn and scheme
This little deck births big bad dreams
[Verse 2]
He drops a skip on her
She laughs, all teeth, no sound
Slides a draw two, icy and slow
He pulls his pride from the ground
Old head stacking colors
Like he stacking unpaid debts
Reverse, reverse, I’m staring at him
He ain’t breaking sweat
Then he lays that wild
“Change to red,” voice flat
My fingers flick through paper blades
I been waiting for that
I slam a draw four down
Like a gavel in the dark (hah)
He pulls four, then four more
Whole table feels that mark
Hoodie girl whispers, “Cute”
Then chains a savage run
Skip, reverse, draw two, wild
Turn midday into none
[Chorus]
This ain’t a game, this war in colors
Draw four, draw blood from each other
Skip your breath, reverse your fate
We don’t shake hands, we calculate
One card left and the walls close in
Say “UNO” low like a whispered sin
We don’t bluff, we burn and scheme
This little deck births big bad dreams
[Bridge]
Sweat on the sleeves
Floorboard creaks
Silence louder
Every time we speak
Hearts race, same pace
With the ticking in the hall
Who walks away laughing?
Who don’t walk at all? (yeah)
[Verse 3]
I’m sitting on two
Color locked, pulse tight
Need a yellow on the table
Or I’m stuck here all night
Old head tosses green
Hoodie girl feeds blue
Lip ring boy grins slow
Like he already knew
He flips a wild, “Make it yellow”
I freeze, then smile thin
Lay my last, soft on the wood
“UNO… and I win”
Chairs scrape, tension breaks
But the stares say it ain’t done
’Cause in this room every shuffle
Loads another gun
[Chorus]
This ain’t a game, this war in colors
Draw four, draw blood from each other
Skip your breath, reverse your fate
We don’t shake hands, we calculate
One card left and the walls close in
Say “UNO” low like a whispered sin
We don’t bluff, we burn and scheme
This little deck births big bad dreams
