about

I love these kinds of tracks. I took chess pieces and inserted characters while tying in the rules of the game. Call it a think piece if you like. I feel it gives hope and energy towards personal empowerment.

lyrics

I was the Rook she was the Queen. I had to check the mate in between the plan was to learn common patterns anomalies luring me to different scenes. I could see 64 squares smoked by a fuckin pawn fiend. This is the life on an 8x8 grid. Get you caught up end game Bishop cut you off diagonally kid. A 2 ta 3 year bid. Livin hope without only should have lasted 60 seconds abstract no doubt. Strategy got you locked in stalemate. You gotta ta get yo shit right. Or dust in the, you'll be left on your own quest trust nothin but a pawn left a pawn left feel me?

Little girl It will be alright, take my hand Ill guide you through the waking hours of the night. It takes more, than a man to kill my plans I figured out how to put anything I want in my hands. It takes love, oh oh its love. I gotta give it up to the ones who showed me the way of the righteous ones but I gotta make a point. Do I give it back to you, only if you make some fuckin noise.

If there was a piece named death, it would all make sense. I cringe referring to them both in past tense. Finally lyrics to the sequence pay the rent. In my minds eye where the hell did the time went. Swept away by sixteen pieces on a foiled serving tray I fell victim to the game loosing teeth like chess pieces. Reaching, for my bishop to cast forgivness over sins, whoever catch checkmate looses- yo I win. Never have I ever. Na, I cant play that came. A life without my little cousin just aint the fuckin same. Another two years high. Ida blown my brains out. Higher than the fuckin sky.Yo I'm Reaching for my guys, like I got some place to be. I gots to blaze these trees. Someone please get these ma fuckin people to safety. Im about to pull the pin. Ahh hell, everyday life drops the beautiful pedals of sins well.

Little girl It will be alright, take my hand Ill guide you through the waking hours of the night. It takes more, than a man to kill my plans I figured out how to put anything I want in my hands. It takes love, oh oh its love. I gotta give it up to the ones who showed me the way of the righteous ones now I gotta make a choice. Do I give it back to you, only if you make some fuckin noise.
