Chess Not Checkers

I'm always about staying one step ahead Maybe two or more can't score from the bench Entrenched with certain beliefs Can't peak if you stay elevated You too busy on that retrograde, played out Watching all my pieces equally, right in front of me Strategically eyeing the board, move never get moved on Speak from a position of power like Owen First to get picked and last to leave the ice, price gets paid Manage my business like a owner, you buying those dreams Based off another man's cream, sickle digging your own grave Engraved with the pursuit of independence, land locked on an island Still trying to move a stationary narrative, buried in the sand Losing your grip, well Cav and The Kid stay lit Last ones standing, hose you down Can't recover (word to mother) Angles calculated prematurely, surely We see the win before you do Vision like Thurman Thomas High up on the perch who's stopping us Check mate, game set Double down cause you's a clown Angles calculated prematurely, surely We see the win before you do Vision like Thurman Thomas High up on the perch who's stopping us Check mate, game set Double down cause you's a clown Never needed a road map, was left to fetch on my own two I knew the destiny was meant for me, accomplish and set aside Move on to the next square, getting closer to your Queen Snatched mine up, home team I mean what I say and do what I must So trust the direction is never in question A knight with the strength of a bishop Rookie move, we smoothen grooves, make the road to conquering more plausible Phenomenal when we put forth this musical story board, on some Visio Venn Diagram too complex then exit stage left The game is cerebral, deep tissue geometry You lack the math skills, obviously This is more then just adding and subtracting, deducing and protracting Glacial and spatial, so in the end it's what we've taken from you And not what you've taken from us And to be truthfully honestly, it really ain't that much Angles calculated prematurely, surely We see the win before you do Vision like Thurman Thomas High up on the perch who's stopping us Check mate, game set Double down cause you's a clown Angles calculated prematurely, surely We see the win before you do Vision like Thurman Thomas High up on the perch who's stopping us Check mate, game set Double down cause you's a clown Yeah y'all Double down We takin' that Y'all playin with house money We own the house It's Cav Calloway Don Draper Yeah Y'all know what it is Peace y'all
