Checkmate Lyrics by Daddy Punk

2018

[Intro: ahlishav & Slushii]
If we fight, then the walls we built so high have fallen so low
Fallen so low
If we fight, then the walls we built so high have fallen so low
Low, low

[Song: Punk]
I understand you don't want me in your life
That's no reason to resort to the knife
Personalities crash like Genghis Khan
Cause let me tell you something
Sometimes we don't have to read in between the lines to find peace of mind
It's a war crime

I know your heart is aching and so is mine
Learning to make a noose out of twine
Fighting is the way of this crooked world
Why can't we all just get along
Like Gandhi preached in his philosophy

Peoples lives are run by hate
Let me give it to you straight
Wars with countries fade if we don't turn around and just cooperate with each other
Like a brother
Our feelings we smother
I fear for our mothers

I understand we don't have the same views
But there is murder on the news
Little kids that are drowning in the booze
Depression is a common thing
Minds are like a boxing ring

Having to worry about the little things in our life is a shame
Usually you're looking for the little things to blame
I look at life like a game of chess
Minus all the stress
Let me put this to the test
Checkmate, now a clean slate

I love you all
Whether you're big, skinny, tall, or not at all
Don't let people's opinion put your life in a stall
Life is a ticking clock
We only get one so might as well have fun

[Hook]
I understand you don't want me in your life
That's no reason to resort to the knife
Personalities crash like Genghis Khan
Cause let me tell you something
Sometimes we don't have to read in between the lines to find peace of mind
It's a warcrime

People are scared to speak out
Most people are only in it for the clout
That's not a doubt
If people got their priorities straight maybe we could minimize on all this hate
And concentrate on the things that matter
Reduce the dreams we shatter
Shut up all the chatter


Sad thing is that this may never happen
Take it one step at a time
And be a little extra kind
People of the past thought that there would be flying cars
Or that we'd be living in the stars
Let's change our ways and accept change
Make someones day
Help someone and tell them everything is going to be okay

As of now our memoir is hey
Now isn't that great
