Now as a child your mama told you to stay away At an early age you learned you have to pay to play And rolling with them losers will bruise you and break the bank Till you’re riding on empty and can’t even fill the tank But the higher the risk, the higher return You gotta be in it to win it When you’re playing with fire, you don’t always get burned The sky’s the limit, I know we can get it Chorus: You’re rolling with a winner, blow the dice you about to get rich It’s pay day, so baby go and cash in your chips Don’t worry bout your luck cause your problems are over It’s time to live the life you deserve, messing with a high roller You done played enough to know the game is tough and when things get rough, you gotta roll it again (gotta roll it again, again, again) Don’t listen to your friends, they scared to deal, so used to losing, they don’t know how to win (used to losing, they don’t know how to win) And don’t fight the feeling, it’s me you trust The world ain’t seen a team like us What you feel is love, even though it seems like lust The higher the risk, the higher return You gotta be in it, to win it When you’re playing with fire, you don’t always get burned The sky’s the limit, I know we can get it Chorus Shake em’ up, shake em’ up, shake em’ up, shake em’ Put me up against the rest and watch me break em’ Baby throw the dice and let it ride Girl, we got good luck up on your side Shake em’, up shake em’ up, shake em’ up, shake em’ Put me up against the rest and watch me break em’ Baby throw the dice and let it ride Girl, we got good luck up on our side Chorus
