Theo Nightshade - Flex Protocol Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Late night strategy, whiskey in my veins
Playing cards I never showed, keeping me in the game
Smooth operator with a jazzy disguise
Reading every poker face, seeing through their lies

[Chorus]
Flex Protocol, baby, that's my golden rule
Dancing through their maze like nobody's fool
Flex Protocol, yeah, I bend but never break
All these corporate sharks, man, I know what's at stake

[Verse 2]
Smoke-filled boardroom, saxophone speaks low
Playing by their rules but keeping my soul
Three-piece suit with devil in my smile
Been around the block, yeah, I know their style
Every handshake's got a hidden price
Roll the dice once, better think twice

[Bridge]
They say "jump," I say "watch me fly"
Smooth as bourbon, sharp as my reply
These cats don't know what I've got in store
Been through hell but always wanting more

[Verse 3]
Downtown jazz club, that's where I belong
Far from their bullshit, deep in my song
But Monday morning comes too damn fast
Gotta wear that mask, make the moment last
Playing their game but with my own twist
Like Miles Davis through the morning mist

[Chorus]
Flex Protocol, baby, that's my golden rule
Dancing through their maze like nobody's fool
Flex Protocol, yeah, I bend but never break
All these corporate sharks, man, I know what's at stake

[Outro]
When the music stops and the lights go down
Still standing tall while they run this town
Cause I've got something they'll never own
My soul's still mine when I'm all alone
In this game of smoke and mirrors, baby
I'm the one who's calling "checkmate"
