​checkers Lyrics by A1TH

​off my shoulders

2024

[Pre-Hook]
Lost that game of checkers
So I moved onto chess (Yeah)
Been pressing on the neck
Ain't testing, I ain't finished yet
Shit, that other day been hitting
Been a bit obsessed (Yeah)
Strategies when taking shots, ho
Aiming for the neck (Uh)

[Hook]
Aiming for the best
Aiming for the best
Playing chess, not checkers, ho
Ain't made a difference yet? (What?)
Aiming for the best
I ain't finished yet
Playing chess, not checkers, ho
I been a bit obsessed

[Verse]
Sеlling out, where's it got me?
Okay, okay, okay
Off thе grid, ho, you can't spot me
Okay, okay, okay
Took another one my migraines
It's a daily practice
It might be stress-induced but, lately
I don't care for that shit
Midwest running tracks, no relay
Made a bet, ho, I top foes each day
Bottles emptied quick, need replay
Staying stuck inside in my room, I decay
Can't sleep but I'll make do, make do
I been gone a minute and I'm hating what I make too
Hate you, hobbies are a chore and that ache too
Taking mind off it with a pill, that's my eighth today
Ain't shit about it, I make my pay
Got my shit straight, no doubt no more
No hype around it, I don't end my day
Buying into, ho, I set that straight
Misconceptions don't touch my name
Toppin' you, ho, don't play my game

[Pre-Hook]
Lost that game of checkers
So I moved onto chess
Been pressing on the neck
Ain't testing, I ain't finished yet (Yeah)
Shit, that other day been hitting
Been a bit obsessed
Strategies when taking shots, ho
Aiming for the neck (Uh)

[Hook]
Aiming for the best
Aiming for the best
Playing chess, not checkers, ho
Ain't made a difference yet?
Aiming for the best
I ain't finished yet
Playing chess, not checkers, ho
I been a bit obsessed

[Verse 2]
At this point, this shit is part of my routine
Seconds drawing out, eyes fixate on the clock- tick, tick, tick
Drawing out draws me underneath, stuck between keenness and pleasing
My ego intervenes with my friendships
It severs it with no chance of relieving, so I'm left here believing
If I sleep for longer, at some point, that won't be dreaming
Cut ties off with a dull edge, my dull head pulses
Until my mouth drops and leaving none said and none left
I just rest

[Instrumental Outro]
