[Female Lead Vocal ONLY] [Single Female Voice – No Change] [Storytelling → Commanding] [Intro – Low / Dusty] You ever wonder… why they call it a shot? --- [Hook – SIMPLE / REPEATABLE] Shot for a shot That’s how it go Bullet on the bar Trade it for a pour Shot for a shot Old ways don’t die You bring the lead I bring the rye --- [Verse 1 – Storytelling] Back when money ran dry And men still stood on pride No tabs, no credit lines Just steel and a steady hand Slide it down that wood Bartender understood Cold eyes, no talk Just a nod — that was the cost --- [Hook – HARDER] Shot for a shot That’s how it go Bullet on the bar Trade it for a pour Shot for a shot Ain’t nothin’ changed You pay one way or another Just depends on the day --- [Verse 2 – Darker / Modern Tie-In] Now it’s cards and cash But the feel still lasts Same burn, same sin Just dressed up different You see ‘em come and go But I already know What they tryin’ to forget Before they take that hit --- [Bridge – Low / Ruthless] You don’t ask why You don’t ask when You just pour it up And watch ‘em fold again --- [Final Hook – STRIPPED / HEAVY] Shot for a shot That’s how it stays Old world rules In modern days Shot for a shot You step inside Everybody’s payin’ Just pick your side --- [Outro – Quiet / Cold] Now what you drinkin’?
