Barbadian singer Rihanna streamed her new single Russian Roulette online. The lead single is a slow-burning ballad that instantly brings to mind her “incident” with Chris Brown, prior to the 2009 Grammys. Whilst the lyrics attempt to disguise the subject matter, even the talk of bullets cannot hide the fact that this is about an abusive relationship.
Produced and by Justin Timberlake, Chuck Harmony and Chase & Status, the record also features Akon, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, Pharell Williams, Sean Kingston, Soulja Boy and many more.
Russian Roulette by Rihanna – Song Lyrics
Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take a gun, and count to three
Im sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go
[Chorus ]
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
And Im terrified but Im not leaving
Know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
Say a prayer to yourself
He says close your eyes
Sometimes it helps
And then I get a scary thought
That hes here means hes never lost
[Chorus]
As my life flashes before my eyes
Im wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many wont get the chance to say goodbye
But its too late too pick up the value of my life
