[Verse 1] Big money talks loud But it leaves a stain Cheap hands make noise Then they point the blame Every promise sold Comes wrapped in a lie You reach for the handle Then the whole thing dies [Pre-Chorus] Watch your step now Trust gets thin One wrong smile And they’re back again Keep it close now Keep it small When you lean too hard That’s when you fall [Chorus] Rotten deal, rotten deal (rotted out, rotten deal) Rotten deal, rotten deal It cuts so real Rotten deal, rotten deal (you can’t believe it) Rotten deal, rotten deal It takes a piece of you [Verse 2] Everybody wants What’s not theirs Soft words first Then cold stares You look for help Find a trap One fake friend And that’s the snap Now the room feels close And the air feels mean Every step you take Gets caught in between [Pre-Chorus] Watch your step now Trust gets thin One wrong smile And they’re back again Keep it close now Keep it small When you lean too hard That’s when you fall [Chorus] Rotten deal, rotten deal (rotted out, rotten deal) Rotten deal, rotten deal It cuts so real Rotten deal, rotten deal (you can’t believe it) Rotten deal, rotten deal It takes a piece of you [Bridge] No gold can save A broken name No quick win hides The debt and shame When the lights go out You face that room And all those hands Come back too soon [Chorus] Rotten deal, rotten deal (rotted out, rotten deal) Rotten deal, rotten deal It cuts so real Rotten deal, rotten deal (you can’t believe it) Rotten deal, rotten deal It takes a piece of you
