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 go
And 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 trigger
Say 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 lost
And 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 trigger
As 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 life
Chorus X 2
Gunshot
'Rated R' Rihanna's new album is due for release on Nov. 23... o0o0o0, exciting! and Russian Roulette is the first song to leak. Written by Ne-yo and produced by Chuck Harmondy, it's bound to be a hit! But as much as i like it, it's a very dark song and a bit creepy. I think I'm failing to see the deeper meaning just 'cause I can't stop thinking 'bout topping m'self every time I listen to it.
Tiffany Evans also voiced her opinion on a Twitter rant about the controversial topic of the song and the direction of Rihanna's album asserting that it will cause suicidal rates to 'sky rocket.'
I know certain artists have the power to change my mood dramatically when I listen to their music and considering that Riahnna's last album sold 2.5 million copies in the US (according to Nielsen SoundScan) she is bound to have a significant percentage in their who are suicidal... Well, the gunshot at the end of the track should be consoling.
But regardless, I'm loving it!
