Rook Lyrics by Ethos The Rapper

Neptune

2021

[Verse 1]
Makin' moves, I'm a bigger picture player see, my vision behooves my victories on every layer
Guess I'm a soothsayer, see the future with the past, for this they tend to label me some kind of disobeyer
Money ain't makin' it sunny, you're a bunny, I'm the gunny, knight to rook, oh no he better run, this game ain't for the crook
And I wrote the look, oh cool you cook, but can you crack a book and teach yourself about this game and what's been took?

[Chorus]
From the bishop to the knight to pawn, the game is purely won on where your lines are drawn
On the board and upon, game it must go on, and that's why my name's way up there written in neon

[Verse 2]
Slidin' the board and avoidin' the hoard, ridin' my horse like Revere and I think I struck a chord but they can sense checkmate is near
Watchin' me navigate and I can smell the fear as the real me starts to appear before I've even made a premiere
Takin' my turn and they're takin' the bait as I'm watchin' it burn and as I'm proppin' my feet up and callin' it fate
And they wanted to learn, they are 3 minutes late, make sure you don't conflate, there's only sixteen pieces
So quit makin' us wait, make a move, can you finally tip your eight?

[Chorus]
From the bishop to the knight to pawn, the game is purely won on where your lines are drawn
On the board and upon, game it must go on, and that's why my name's way up there written in neon

[Verse 3]
HIt him with knight, takin' the rook, gettin' a check, findin' a mate and ride so I can finally fill part of my appetite
No need to be contrite, yeah we got needs, just treat it sacred with all of your might or you might just end up fight or flight
Makin' the move, nothin' to prove, guess I am talkin' to no one when I'm the only one that I'm seekin' to approve
The rest I went on to remove, I don't look to any of their numbers for my proof, I'm one step ahead, a true player and a bit aloof

[Chorus]
From the bishop to the knight to pawn, the game is purely won on where your lines are drawn
On the board and upon, game it must go on, and that's why my name's way up there written in neon
