The Chess Match Lyrics - Wale

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 

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 

Years later niggas still up in that trap 

Thank God that a nigga had that rap 

Cause after school, played that corner like a rook 

That's when niggas getting book, out there tryna get their last move 

He gon' need that check mate 

And every night they take L's straight to the face 

Let's play

In the grand scheme of life we like pieces on the board 

Look inside yours, you a king, or a pawn? 

Now for that juice, would you bishop, double cross? 

See they move so many squares, Damier falling off 

They was getting bread, getting on 

Stupid nigga cutting grass while my payers moving lawns 

Now move along, pawns never get the Queens 

I'm the only nigga here like Ron Simmons in the ring 

Now I'm winning in the streets 

Raf Simons shit, that's free 

Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Bob Fisher on that beat 

Genius, me, fresh no Esteban 

Best be on your toes, you trying to avoid deblex
