lyrics

I look down at my hand I see two kings and I play it off
It's high stakes in a new Vegas with major costs
Cuban rolled cigars see the snipers from afar
With a kingpin on my right wiped the slices on his scar
Smoke filled the Vatican deadly vixens and paladins
All I see is trafficking underneath the extravagance
I got to make my way into the inner circle first
I look down at my watch and signal to my partner - here

Here I am like the son of sam
I gotta play the part, all according to the plan
I'm dressed to the nines down every single fiber 
Gentle as a dove but I'm shrewd like a viper
I'm tryna play it cool I don't know what's next
To my left he's talking out the side of his neck
But I can see the gun peaking out the side of his vest
I'm tryna keep my heart from jumping out of my chest 

Chest yes, still my wire's connected
Wasn't sure if it got tangled when I took off the jacket
Had to roll up all my sleeves just to show that I'm average
I'm not cheating on the river I'm not using a gadget
Now we're going deeper and we talking bout the outfit
It's operation costs losses margins of the profits
Its really getting tense so I glance up at my partner
He's killing at the roulette table, chips are getting larger...

Roll the dice
This the Poltergeist 
Knocking at your noggin 
with the hubris of a heist huh
They say "when you get the money right 
everything else just seems to fall in line 
So we put it into motion all eyes on us
No room for any error, she called my bluff 
Need to keep my eyes still while I hide my clubs
Then I take a deep breath I don't ride on luck

Blending in, but we're really here heist
Rolling down the strip on a studded Vegas night
You can call it what you will but we got to do it right
Breaking into all the systems infiltrate a bit of light

The kingpin on my right got a note in his left pocket
He started lookin closer and his vibe got way quieter
Guards around his circle started pulling out two silencers
There's a chance I could die in here
Dash it to the left? do I flip over the table tops?
Try to get a grip or to zip-line with a cable shot?
Really all my options are to blow my cover
I try to reach my pen so I can hit that buzzer…

I knocked my drink and lost my chips 
The microphone in my chest dropped out real quick 
But I'm slick
Hit it with my foot
Toe tapped it
So fast you wouldn't even know what happened
Hoping nobody noticed not even the hostess
I've been so dormant 
A silent commotion 
I've been tracking my movements and this ones to cross me?
I sit back in my chair and pull my leg back calmly

Man snaps, we really going out like that
We're two undercover agents and we bout to get clapped
If we don't get back on the track of being smooth and anonymous
Then bullets gonna pass soon through our esophagus
So I stand, extended my hand
'It's been a pleasure playing poker with you gentleman'
And I head slowly toward the door my eyes glance to the side
I see the wire near my partners foot with fear in his eyes

I felt a hand on my lap, leather gloves all black
He said let's take a little walk to the back 
Can't fall for this trap but I have to play along
When we turn the corner imma hit him in the jaw
Bop bop before I could react 
They jumped me
A bat to my head 
Before things got ugly
Woke up to my hands zip tied to my feet
In a room full of goons 
My escape's looking bleak

Blending in, but we're really here heist
Rolling down the strip on a studded Vegas night
You can call it what you will but we got to do it right
Breaking into all the systems infiltrate a bit of light

See the second that I thought that things could not get worse
I see my partner getting slugged like I was stuck on
First base make my way while I swirl Chardonnay
I gotta get him safe if they stop me ill keep it vague
"Sir - where you going?" while I'm pulling my mask on
'I gotta catch that undercover' - locking the backdoor
'I'm heading to the holding cell - pure interrogation
If our bosses ask, say I'm getting information'

Remind me who you're working for again?
Kinda forgot when you kicked my chin
He grinned 
"What's the point in tryna pretend
(Ring ring)
Bring the other executioner in
Well, I've grown really tired of you
So it's time to move on
Boy, hand me that knife"
But his butcher looked at me
I've seen those eyes 
Man I knew it all along 
It was just a disguise

See my guy kept on staring like he knew it was me
Then I signal keep it quiet while I showed him the keys
I had to sneak a new disguise just to get us to leave
I wasn't gone let you die here, we ain't feeling to sleep
We came with a mission thats to hack into mainframes
Let a bit of light in just to lighten the mainstream
Now that we are finished it's our time to get out
Time to vanish to the background let me pull up the route

Blending in, but we're really here heist
Rolling down the strip on a studded Vegas night
You can call it what you will but we got to do it right
Breaking into all the systems infiltrate a bit of light
