Tell Me Everything
I’m at the table locked in
Eyes sharp
No slack
Clocking every twitch you make as I’m running it back
You’re shuffling like you’re steady but your pulse says no
And I’m reading every crack in the confidence you show
I don’t bet on luck
I bet on the slip
On the breath you hold
On the shake in your grip
You smirk like you’re loaded with a hand worth gold
But your fingers freeze up and your story unfolds
I learned this game broke
Grinding hand after hand
Turned every bad beat into part of the plan
Now I’m stacking up the pot while you’re stuck guessing
I don’t chase cards
I chase who folds while stressing
So when I drag in the chips and the whole room knows
Just remember
I didn’t win on the cards
I won on the tells you chose
