Checkmate Lyrics by AWOL (Nerd)

Going AWOL on Reddit

2023

[Intro]
What? You wanna battle me and my crew for money?
Hope you studied your Wu-Tang

[Verse]
All these Pawns in front of me they protect the inner ranks, (ranks)
Got my Queen beside of me, the Bishops want me to give thanks
To a higher power, but I’m the King so there's none above me, (nope)
Gotta keep my squad close, the infantry they love me
Call them my Knights (nights) even if it's day, (day)
When they move it’s always Ls, but in a winning way, (their yours)
Think 80 moves ahead, I try to do what's right, (right)
But everyone around me sees the world as black and white
Let's get started it's time to play my cards
Look to my Queen, let's take a Gambit, it ain't hard (get it)
My opponent makes a move, just like I predict
First line in the position they ‘bout to get wrecked
Stand in front like a leader, I'm on, pass on to the next, (en passant)
My boys run up behind those fools and chop them in their necks, (psshhhhh)
Always on board while on top of my game I’m clearing out the place, (whoosh!)
Sacrifice my position, Pawn someone off just in case
I got a Plan B, you don’t even see my chance, (chance)
You can be an enemy and you’ll end up one of my Stans, (bitch)
Make an offensive move, you’ll get popped just like a cork
Make you choose between your Queen and Castle, call that shit a fork
Teased you for long enough, couldn’t be famous if I lent fame
Promote my Pawns to Knights, boost morale for the endgame
Almost got you cornered, you just try to protect ya neck, late
You outta time, just hand me my check, mate (checkmate)

[Outro]
King of chess and the king of punchlines and the king of rap
All rolled up into one giant double entendre
Out punch that, bitches
