Hands Up, Don't Shake

[Verse 1] I walked in calm with a grin like I own the whole block, Black coat, red nails, cold stare, I don’t knock. Glass doors hush when I step and the room goes tight, He said “miss, can I help you?” I said “try your luck, nice.” I read the floor plan off the fear in the teller’s face, Counted every heartbeat, every shift in the place. My bag looked cute, but it held something mean, And my smile got sharper when they heard that machine. I don’t beg, I don’t bluff, I don’t trip, I don’t sway, I make kings fold paper when I look their way. One hand on the counter, one eye on the clock, And I’m already gone before the panic can lock. [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tick, hear that room go still, One wrong move and it all goes downhill. I came for the cash, not the cheap talk thrill, When I say move, baby, move, and I will. [Chorus] Hands up, don’t shake Hands up, don’t shake I took what I came for, now make no mistake Fast little queen with a cold smile on Hands up, don’t shake Hands up, don’t shake By the time they wake up, I’m already gone [Verse 2] They tried to be brave with their phones and their pride, But courage gets thin when the floor starts to slide. I kept it low, kept it smooth, kept the tension hot, Like a blade in a velvet glove on the dot. No screaming, just breathing and a sweet little nod, While the manager prayed like he heard from God. I moved like a rumor through the open lane, Left fingerprints chilling like a hurricane. They say I’m too pretty for the kind of fire I bring, Too quick with the grin, too slick with the sting. But honey, I was built with a lockpick tongue, And a heart that goes hard when the pressure gets sprung. [Pre-Chorus] Tick-tick, hear that room go still, One wrong move and it all goes downhill. I came for the cash, not the cheap talk thrill, When I say move, baby, move, and I will. [Chorus] Hands up, don’t shake Hands up, don’t shake I took what I came for, now make no mistake Fast little queen with a cold smile on Hands up, don’t shake Hands up, don’t shake By the time they wake up, I’m already gone [Bridge] Now the sirens sing, but they singing too late, I’m a blur in the rearview, a ghost with taste. They’ll tell it like a myth, like a flash, like a spark, Like a lipstick mark burned into the dark. But I know what I am when the pressure gets mean, A clean little storm in a killer machine. So keep your alarms and your brave little pose, I was gone with the gold before the first one closed. [Final Chorus] Hands up, don’t shake Hands up, don’t shake I took what I came for, now make no mistake Fast little queen with a cold smile on Hands up, don’t shake Hands up, don’t shake By the time they wake up, I’m already gone
