Earlier today, Rihanna leaked her new track “Russian Roulette” off her upcoming album ‘R’, which is slated for release November 23.
Loyal reader LaShea thinks the song’s lyrics are metaphorical as a symbol of Rihanna’s newfound freedom from her abuser, convicted felon Chris Brown. Sort of like she’s breaking free of the chains that used to bind her.
Sadly, that’s not what I’m hearing whispered around the industry.
They’re saying the rumors are true that Rihanna is still in love with Chris Brown and they still see each other despite the court ordered restraining order.

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
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
And I’m terrified but I’m 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 he’s here means he’s never lost
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
