The cards are shuffled the stake is high

Always An Ace Up My Sleeve
I walk through the fire, I play every game,
Smiling in shadows, no fear, no shame.
They watch my hands, they read my face,
But they’ll never know my hidden ace.
A flick of the wrist, a turn of the tide,
The truth stays buried where secrets hide.
You think you’ve won, you think I’m through,
But I’ve got a move you never knew.
Deception is art, and I paint it well,
A whisper, a smirk—no tale to tell.
When the stakes run high and the fools believe,
I grin—there’s always an ace up my sleeve.
