Artist: Wale & A-Trak Album: Festivus Song: Chess Typed by: Cedmaster3K [Intro: Jerry Seinfeld sample] "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 spoken You can make all the moves you want, they will not affect the outcome." [Wale] Yeah, in the grand scheme of life, we like pieces on the board Look inside yours, you a king, or a pawn? I came from a scene where the kids on water God forbid they see five, get your things, hit the border Like a sicilian defense Go ahead and play silly, you'll get billy clubbed to death Welcome to the city, ain't no sympathy for rats where the whites move first and you go second, cause you're black Was it Rayful? Was it Reagan? Did the 80's hold 'em back? This is no Connect Four but blood spilling for connects (bow~!) Years later niggas still up in that trap, mm Thank God that a nigga had that rap, mm Cause after school, played that corner like a rook That's when niggas gettin' book out there tryna get their last move Ooh, he gon' need that check mate And every night they take L's straight to the face, play Yeah, yeah In the grand scheme of life, we like pieces on the board Look inside yours, you a king, or a pawn?
