Story Behind The Song
The story behind "CASINO" reflects a world in struggle, where many have stopped believing in themselves, their dreams, and the possibilities of life. Everything is a gamble, and while the odds may seem stacked against us, the song emphasizes the importance of taking risks. If you never take a chance, you'll remain stagnant, missing out on the opportunities that could lead to growth and fulfillment. I wanted to take a chance on a different sound of music to express these issues, utilizing my gift to craft melodies and lyrics that resonate deeply. "CASINO" serves as a reminder that embracing uncertainty is essential for living a life fully realized.

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
It's morning and it was dark outside.
"is life about, Paying your dues,
just to stay alive?"
I keep reiterating,
I must act or die.
Not satisfied,
till i DON,T have to, live to survive.
(Pre-Chorus)
Dark hours compel me,
keep my Bible on the dash.
Riding with mans best friend,
My, Big Dog named Cash.
Discomfort in my gut,
foot firmly on the gas.
Either I'll remain down,
or I'll risk it all,
to carve out a better path!
(Chorus)
I'd rather be a dead man walking,
Then a dead man sleeping.
Life doesn't always pan out,
the way you dreamed it.
Fortune favors the bold,
So, Who's story will be told?
I'd rather be a dead man walking,
Then a dead man sleeping...
"CASINO"...

(Verse 2)
Rolling the dice in this game of fate,
Every risk I take, I gamble for a break.
A ship is safe in harbor, but that's not its role,
Venture out to sea; you might just get your share of a rich man's gold."
Mama always said
'Life's too short to sit and wait,
Take your leap of faith, don't hesitate!'.
(Pre-Chorus)
Dark hours compel me,
keep my Bible on the dash.
Riding with mans best friend,
My, Big Dog named Cash.
Discomfort in my gut,
foot firmly on the gas.
Either I'll remain down,
or I'll risk it all,
to carve out a better path!
(Chorus)
I'd rather be a dead man walking,
Then a dead man sleeping.
Life doesn't always pan out,
the way you dreamed it.
Fortune favors the bold,
So, Who's story will be told?
I'd rather be a dead man walking,
Then a dead man sleeping...

(Bridge)
How does It get quiet in a loud place?
It's a gamble but I live my life day to day.
I stay ready so I ain't gotta get ready
Even though my knees are weak and arms are heavy. I gotta stay steady.
"Im all in".
(Chorus)
I'd rather be a dead man walking,
Then a dead man sleeping.
Life doesn't always pan out,
the way you dreamed it.
Fortune favors the bold,
So, Who's story will be told?
I'd rather be a dead man walking,
Then a dead man sleeping...
