[Verse 1: Poliça]
Me and her named Tiffany
Born to breed in everything
Carrying 'round a prison bar
Fucking in the feathered tar
Early call, the master flirts
Measuring up the pretty girls
Body buildings sickly fed
Need my TV, I need my meds
Tiffany my vanity
Compared to you, compared to me
I'm a pawn in the hype machine
You're a pawn in the caring scheme

[Chorus: Poliça & Justin Vernon]
Go ahead and play for keeps
Go ahead and play for keeps

[Verse 2: Poliça]
One for tiger, one for bear
No one wants me, no one cares
Playing rough without a fight
I was yours a record time
Played my part and pressing start
You're the hero but I'm in charge
Cheating is a money maker
Shadow gloss, a tricky faker
I don't want a diamond ring
Found a man, and he's found me
It's a pact like a lion's den
You come out, but you can't come in
[Chorus: Poliça & Justin Vernon]
Go ahead and play for keeps
Go ahead and play for keeps

[Verse 3: Poliça]
Make a pact with my secret son
Have the bullet, he has the gun
Don't bother me to take my time
Wouldn't rush if I had what's mine
Keep it coming and keep 'em close
How he rocks me and how it shows
Take a breath before the peak
Throw the bet to hold for keeps
Do your work and let me be
I don't owe you anything
Tiffany, my vanity
Compared to you, compared to me
I'm a pawn in the hype machine
You're a pawn in the caring scheme
We will walk with the clean machine
All the hearts and long lost dreams

[Chorus: Poliça and Justin Vernon]
Go ahead and play for keeps
Go ahead and play for keeps
