Letra de
Russian Roullet

Russian Roulette por Rihanna trata de tomar decisiones difíciles en la vida y enfrentarse a lo desconocido, simbolizado por el juego de la ruleta rusa. La canción se inspiró en los propios sentimientos de vulnerabilidad de la cantante y en su turbulenta vida personal.

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself, he says to me
If you play, you play for keeps
Take the gun, and count to three
I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think, my turn to go

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified. but I'm not leaving
I 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 he's here, means he's never lost

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise?
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late too pick up the value of my life

And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must must pass this test
And you can see my heart beating
You can see it through my chest
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must must pass this test
So just pull the trigger
