Checkmate Lyrics by Julia Wolf

Girls in Purgatory (Full Moon Edition)

2021

[Chorus]
Ponytail swinging, wait
Boutta cash my check on break
Twenty-four seven checkmate
You’re played out, no debate
No debate
Ponytail swinging, wait
Everything I do my way

[Post-Chorus]
Twenty-four seven checkmate
You’re played out
We are not the same

[Verse 1]
Try ’n bait me but I cast the line
Think I’m stupid because I’m not one of the guys
Said you like my voice how it moves you, well
Move to the side, move to the side
You stab backs, I stay politе
Keeping tabs on me for some time
Try and jack my stylе
I saw that shit from a mile ⁣

[Chorus]
Ponytail swinging, wait
Boutta cash my check on break
Twenty-four seven checkmate
You’re played out, no debate
No debate
Ponytail swinging, wait
Everything I do my way

[Post-Chorus]
Twenty-four seven checkmate
You’re played out
We are not the same

[Verse 2]
This time I’m not leaving breadcrumbs
Follow my trail like I’m not gon' catch on
Follow your fights only when there’s back up
That sounds pretty stressful
I think you might wanna take flight
Give yourself a chance to come out alive
Tried so hard tried like to play both sides
Tried so hard but we’re not alike

[Chorus]
Ponytail swinging, wait
Boutta cash my check on break
Twenty-four seven checkmate
You’re played out, no debate
No debate, mmm
Ponytail swinging, wait
Everything I do my way

[Post-Chorus]
Twenty-four seven checkmate
You’re played out
We are not the same

[Bridge]
Twenty-four seven, twenty-four seven checkmate
Twenty-four seven checkmate
Twenty-four seven checkmate, mm-mm
Twenty-four seven, twenty-four seven checkmate

[Post-Chorus]
Twenty-four seven checkmate
You’re played out
We are not the same

[Verse 3]
I see you change face but I see everything, I
Keep you at arms length
'Cause you’re the type to start acting different
I see people start switching
'Cause they’re paying attention to me
I believe, I believe that it’s coming to me, yeah

[Outro]
I believe that it’s coming to me yeah-yeah
Coming to me
Coming to me, yeah
Coming to me, yeah (coming to me, coming to me)
I believe that it's coming, yeah
I believe that it's coming, yeah
I believe that it's coming to me, yeah
