Checkmate Lyrics by LepriKon

God Komplex

2010

[Intro: The Riddler (Jim Carrey)]
\nNow the real game begins
\n
\n[Chorus: LepriKon]
\nKnight takes rook, queen takes pawn
\nIf you think you can compete, best believe you're so wrong
\nCheckmate 'cause it's not all black and white
\nCheckmate, in this game it's a fight for your life
\nRook takes knight, pawn takes queen
\nWith no pieces left I'm surrounding your king
\nCheckmate, look back in the blink of an eye
\nCheckmate, and realize that this crown is mine
\n
\n[Verse 1: LepriKon]
\nThey say this bloodthirst is impossible to quench
\nIn an attempt to find the cure is a logical dеtest
\nMy mind is driven by the fact I need to find anothеr victim
\nHit and run vampirer 'cause you know I'm only spittin' blood
\nFire in my eyes, ice water in my veins
\nDesire burns inside, climb higher through the flames
\nYou'll see the path of broken men and the entity it made
\nAn animal untamed, chewed the bars above his cage
\nYou think it's about luck, think it's about who you know
\nThink it's about cars, jewelry or even flashy clothes
\nBut your assumptions couldn't be further from the truth
\nIt's about the music, an artist who would die in the booth
\nBut you'll never hear that shit come out your boombox
\nNo matter how hard you think that this dude knocks
\nWhen I step up in the place, everybody in the room drops
\n'Cause I'm taking aim, never miss, boom, headshot
\n
\n[Chorus: LepriKon]
\nKnight takes rook, queen takes pawn
\nIf you think you can compete, best believe you're so wrong
\nCheckmate 'cause it's not all black and white
\nCheckmate, in this game it's a fight for your life
\nRook takes knight, pawn takes queen
\nWith no pieces left I'm surrounding your king
\nCheckmate, look back in the blink of an eye
\nCheckmate, and realize that this crown is mine
\n
\n[Verse 2: GrewSum]
\nOpen your mind to the type of a guy
\nWho would like to arrive at the top
\nStriking like lightning, doing my thing
\nWhen I'm writing, I sing like my pops
\nAlready proved that I'm talented
\nOvercame plenty of challenges
\nA lot of people think I'm [stagnant, sick?]
\nBut I stay on the hunt for a track to rip
\nAnd that's every day, rapping away
\nAll of the pain that I have in my heart
\nLaughing when you rapping 'cause talent was something I had from the start
\nAnd I'm stay checking the people who don't believe to the day I have to depart
\nMake 'em understand every syllable is planned
\nThis ain't rapping, it's actually art
\nSo let me take you on a ride every album that I release
\nWe can say that I tried at least
\nIf the day comes and I wake and can't find the beast within we can say it died in peace
\nI hate to say that at all, but I'm realistic even though I'm bringing sick shit
\nTo the table, it's a fable
\nGettin' rich quick just because you simply can flip shit
\nThis is a lyrical ripper up in his prime even though a lot of people think I passed it
\nI don't really wanna hear that shit
\nBut the fact is, no big label ever backed it
\nNo tactics, no theatrics, just a dope emcee with an allergy for wackness
\nBut right now, no time for relaxin' or slackin'
\nI'ma have to work just to bring cash in motherfucker
\n
\n[Chorus: LepriKon]
\nKnight takes rook, queen takes pawn
\nIf you think you can compete, best believe you're so wrong
\nCheckmate 'cause it's not all black and white
\nCheckmate, in this game it's a fight for your life
\nRook takes knight, pawn takes queen
\nWith no pieces left I'm surrounding your king
\nCheckmate, look back in the blink of an eye
\nCheckmate, and realize that this crown is mine
\n
\n[Interlude: Private Hudson (Bill Paxton)]
\nThat's it man. Game over man. It's game over
\n
\n[Chorus: LepriKon]
\nKnight takes rook, queen takes pawn
\nIf you think you can compete, best believe you're so wrong
\nCheckmate 'cause it's not all black and white
\nCheckmate, in this game it's a fight for your life
\nRook takes knight, pawn takes queen
\nWith no pieces left I'm surrounding your king
\nCheckmate, look back in the blink of an eye
\nCheckmate, and realize that this crown is mine
\n
\n[Outro: The Riddler (Jim Carrey)]
\nErr! I'm sorry, your answer must be in the form of a question\n\n
