[Intro Skit]So you find it's a chess game. Except in this chess, the board is made of water that's just flowing, and all the chess pieces are smoke. You can make all the moves you want, they will not affect the outcome[Verse 1]In the grand scheme of life we like pieces on the boardLook inside yours, you a king, or a pawn?I came from a scene where the kids on waterThey [?], get your things, hit the borderLike a sicilian defenseGo ahead and play silly, you'll get billy clubbed to deathWelcome to the city, ain't no sympathy for ratsWhere the whites move first and you go second, cause you're blackWas it Rayful, was it Raegan, did the 80's hold 'em back?This is no connect four but blood spilling for connectsYears later niggas still up in that trapThank God that a nigga had that rapCause after school, played that corner like a rookThat's when niggas getting book, out there tryna get their last moveHe gon' need that check mateAnd every night they take L's straight to the faceLet's play[Verse 2]In the grand scheme of life we like pieces on the boardLook inside yours, you a king, or a pawn?Now for that truce, would you bishop double cross?Here they move so many squares, now I'm Damier falling offThey was getting bread, getting onStupid nigga couldn't grasp while my payers moving lawnsNow move along, pawns never get the QueensI'm the only nigga here like Ron Simmons in the ringNow I'm winning in the streetsRap, send me shit discreetBob Marley, Bob Dylan, Bob Fisher on that beatGenius, me, fresh no estebanBest be on your toes, you trying to avoid deblexWe up
