Wow…I think she just flipped the script on everyone with this new single. Rihanna officially premiered the song today. Writing credits go to NeYo, but this is a very dark song…not surprising for Rihanna to sing. He also hyped up her album a few weeks ago saying she would “have some stuff say.” I actually love the song, but the gun shot at the end has me wondering….hmmm
Anyway take a listen below. And to Rihanna…welcome back.
LYRICS
Take a breath take it deep
Calm yourself he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun and count to three
I’m sweating now moving slow
No time to think my turn to goAnd you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the triggerSay a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That he’s here means he’s never lostAnd you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And I’m terrified but I’m not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the triggerAs my life flashes before my eyes
I’m wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won’t get the chance to say goodbye
But it’s too late too pick up the value of my lifeChorus X 2
