Run the Table

(Verse 1)

He chalks up his new stick as he eyes the felt

Don’t want to miscue when the money’s dealt

Shakes the powder in the palm of his hand

Grooving to the jukebox they’re playing his jam

(Pre-Chorus)

Pool balls on the table as he starts to rack

Next noise you gonna hear is when those balls crack

(Chorus)

Oh, Everyone turns around and stares their way,

There’s a shark on the table and he’s here to stay

Oh, He’s running the table, and he’s taking bets

Don’t reach for your pocket he’ll take your check

(Verse 2)

He draws back on the stick and gives it a whack

Nine ball falls on the break and you can’t do jack

Hey, Rack em up stranger, you get another chance

Pull out your money and watch me do a dance

(Bridge)

Yeah, Some say it’s his ego, some say it’s his game,

Some say the way he hustles he’s playing to shame

Oh, money won is sweeter than money earned

The man is all business though, they’re gonna learn

(Chorus)

Oh, Everyone turns around and stares their way,

There’s a shark on the table and he’s here to stay

Oh, He’s running the table, and he’s taking bets

Don’t reach for your pocket he’ll take your check

Run the table, next ones up

Run the table, what’s up

Run the table
