Cards In Hand

Tharek Ali Mokbul

I’m not playing your paper game
Not spilling my pain on a page again

Focus on the good times
Only the good times
Make way for the better times

You can’t taint my name again
No hurry to blame when it goes your way

It’s time for the pay-back
On to the right track
On form but laid back

Sit tight while I dream up the remedy
Good times are all that’s ahead of me

I’m done with the paper chase
Gonna slow right down
Gonna change the pace
I gave it my best try
In for a penny
Sound as a pound
Beggar on a bus ride
Wheels go round
But it don’t stop at the sights and sounds

Now I cash all my chips in
Step from the table
Cards in hand

Not playing your paper game
Not playing your paper game

See I run on my vibe
No secret to keep and no bad mind
No quota to fill and no down time
No reason to feel out of my mind

Focus on the good times
Only the good times
Make way for the better times

Focus on the good times
Only the good times
Make way for the better times
