Lyrics

Hey! (Not my fault!)
Hey! (Read the board!)
Hey! (Act right!)
Or hit that door
You walk in loud like you own this place
Snap your fingers, don't say my name
Make it strong, don't be cheap
Like I'm runnin' charity drinks all week
You side-eye prices like I'm a crook
Didn't force you to open that book
Order top shelf with a broke-boy grin
Then act surprised when the bill comes in
I just smile, nod, keep it tight
But in my head, I'm sayin' it right
If I said what I wanted to
You'd be out that door for round two
This ain't your house, this ain't your bar
And I ain't here to fix who you are
Your drink ain't weak, you just numb
Good liquor ain't cheap, that's where I'm from
I bite my tongue and sling these drinks
But damn, you should hear what I think
What's it cost? (Pay the cost!)
Pay the cost! (Too damn high!)
Too damn high? (Then don't buy!)
Then don't buy! (Read the board!)
Read the board! (Read the board!)
Read the board! (Or hit that door!)
Or hit that door! (Hit that door!)
Hit that door!
Hey sweetheart, try that again
You ain't jumpin' this line, my friend
Food came wrong? That ain't my lane
But I'll hear it like it's my blame
Ask for drinks we don't even carry
Get mad like I'm hidin' a cherry
Tip two bucks on a forty tab
And puff your chest like you did me a favor
I keep it movin', keep it clean
But you don't wanna hear the in-between
If I said what I wanted to
You'd be cut off mid-round two
Learn some class or learn the game
Or don't come back actin' the same
Your drink ain't weak, you just fried
No, I ain't hookin' you up on my side
I bite my tongue and close you out
But damn, I'd love to shout
What's that tip? (That ain't shit!)
That ain't shit! (Try again!)
Try again! (Try again!)
Tip your bartender! (Tip your bartender!)
Or drink at home! (Drink at home!)
I seen the broke, I seen the bold
Big talkers fold when it gets cold
The real ones? Yeah, I know their name
They show respect, they play the game
I run this bar, don't twist that truth
Every tab, every face, every proof
You want respect? Then start it right
Or you won't last here through the night
Most of us? We smile or let it slide
But not Rainey
She'll look you dead in the eye, no blink
Drink ain't weak, you just can't drink
Damn! Bitchin' 'bout prices? Then drink at home
This ain't your couch, this ain't your zone
Tell 'em!
You snap again, I'll serve you last
I ain't your dog, fix your attitude fast
(Oh, she hot!)
You tip like trash, keep you too
I make more money not dealin' with you
(Facts!)
Call me sweetheart? Try it twice
You'll be sippin' water and thinkin' 'bout life
(Yeah!)
You want it strong? Then pay it right
Or shut it down and say goodnight
(Goodnight!)
It ain't weak! (It ain't weak!)
It ain't weak! (Say it loud!)
Say it loud! (You just broke!)
You just broke! (You just broke!)
There it is! (Pay your tab!)
Pay your tab! (Pay your tab!)
Run it up! (Or get gone!)
Get gone! (Get gone!)
Fine! (Rainey!)
Who's gonna say it? (Rainey!)
Say her name! (Rainey!)
Say it again! (Rainey!)
Louder! (One more time!)
Rainey! (That's her!)
Or Rainey will say it for you
