Okay, here's the deal
[Verse]
I'm an outsider, underground rider
I'll squeeze myself to death if my flow sounds tighter
Times have been brighter, soon I'm out of breath
Set aside cause I don't sound like the rest
It ain't no fun at all, seems to be my fate to run and fall
And I hate you one and all, damn your eyes
I plan to rise and vandalize the culture you have standardized and scatter lines
Maybe it's no use to let me fantasize
Couldn't just stand by, I had to try
See, these rappеrs, they ain't smart, they're just actin' all hard
But whеn you come with rhyme and reason they be actin' quite weird
My solution is we settle with some black and white squares
But for me, it's just a friendly game of chess
May the best strategy win, now let the battle begin
And now I'm bettin' my draws are much better than yours
Now let's set up the board and just settle the score
[Chorus]
Think for a while before you make your move
One blink of your eye's all it takes to lose
So try to set aside all the pain and stress, or take a rest
It's just a friendly game of chess
Think for a while before you make your move
One blink of your eye's all it takes to lose
So try to set aside all the pain and stress, or take a rest
It's just a friendly game of chess
[Verse]
You're doomed as soon as the board is set
I'm foreseeing moves you haven't thought of yet
Yeah, there are just so many open targets for me to hit
You call my queen a bitch, I call your queen Elizabeth
Damn, what if I caught your knight?
Caught between my rock and a hard place
These are dark days for your kingdom
I'll bring them to Hell and then some
I'm sorry but your pawns ain't gonna live to see another dawn
You need to think for a while and better think correct (Woha!)
I got your king in check
All cornered and I'm sorry but his fate is kinda mean
Cause any minute now he'll be mated by my queen
This is my payback for all the days that I've been held back
Fell flat on the ground but I'm now back up, tryin' to clean my act up
Thought I better work on my image and search for some gimmicks
I tried howlin' at the moon, it didn't feel right
And I just ended up yodeling at the streetlight
Shouldn't let it stop me, ain't that kind of quitter (No)
But I'm just bitter, sell my soul to the highest bidder
Sorry, Satan, you're too cheap
I sold it to Sandman in exchange for eternal sleep
No biggie really, no one ever heard a peep
Anyway I wouldn't had a say, dirty creep
[Chorus]
Think for a while before you make your move
One blink of your eye's all it takes to lose
So try to set aside all the pain and stress, or take a rest
It's just a friendly game of chess
Think for a while before you make your move
One blink of your eye's all it takes to lose
So try to set aside all the pain and stress, or take a rest
It's just a friendly game of chess
[Verse]
Now you're probably doubtin' that someone as sloppy as me could be a mastermind of cunning and logic
But I make it obvious, don't look so shook, no
Here's my notebook, better take a close look
At the words that I'm scribblin' and tell me if you feelin' 'em
They form the shadows of a nation of millions
And those will be the silhouettes I kill you with
Tell me, are you still a bit skeptical I haven't gotten rid of it?
It started as a friendly chess game
Then it all ended up in deadly chest pains
Many more suffer the same fate
Something's really wrong with their gameplay
Wouldn't you say so?
Yes, y'all, there's a new pawn on the chessboard put there to test your strategy out on the battlefield
There's a new rabbit in the hat who would rather lay back than to follow your command, magic man
I found out the best way to finish you assholes
Rhymes on small paper put in [?] capsules
So take two of these and tell your mother to call me when she's mourning
To tell me which side to put the thorn in
It's okay, you cannot win them all, I'm afraid
You gave your best shot but got hit by the ricochet
And I'm sorry but I think you really punch your lights out
Defeated, cause right now your king lies down
[Chorus]
Think for a while before you make your move
One blink of your eye's all it takes to lose
So try to set aside all the pain and stress, or take a rest
It's just a friendly game of chess
Think for a while before you make your move
One blink of your eye's all it takes to lose
So try to set aside all the pain and stress, or take a rest
It's just a friendly game of chess
