Intro: Samuel L. Jackson "I'm not playing games here I've got no time for that Life's got no time for your little boy games Leave all that nonsense at home when you come here" Hook: Es I got a story about society and it's makeup Pieces to the puzzle that create us Metaphor for chess games we play, stresses we face Players in this game everyday Life is like a chess gamе and we all play positions Fighting for what's ours aim is the mission Many complexitiеs of life know your role the team wins Execute, the team wins in the grand scheme of things Verse 1: Es On the front line... is the poor... and middle class pawn First line of defense in this killer ass war Blood sweat and tears but they treatin his ass poor They kill his ass off if his thinking's a tad strong It's ill advised for him to develop a backbone Fact only…look what happened to Malcolm Nations built off of the backs of the native and black pawns Piece of the pie is all we ask for Scratch Chorus: DJ Mercilless I play my enemies like a game of chess (x2) Verse 2: Es From offense to defence, recreation to sport Comes the next chess piece better known as the horse Transport for law enforcement and the soldiers at war And for the knight in shining armour holding a sword Motto is ride or die sprint to the crack of a whip And the scabs on his skin reminder of what happened to him Whether dark or pale faced every move is L shaped Win or lose his life is in a stalemate Hook: Es I got a story about society and it's makeup Pieces to the puzzle that create us Metaphor for chess games we play, stresses we face Players in this game everyday Life is like a chess game and we all play positions Fighting for what's ours aim is the mission Many complexities of life know your role the team wins Execute, the team wins in the grand scheme of things Verse 3: Es They say the home is where the heart is They also say its not who strikes first but the hardest Look at the rook one of the few that goes the farthest North south east west hitting the most targets Castle for royalty, my humble abode My mansion I show my loyalty, that's come to be home A shack for some, but for many a safe zone In this game of chess the aim of the game is to take yours Scratch Chorus: DJ Mercilless I play my enemies like a game of chess (x2) Verse 4: Es Next shifty character is bishop, with excellent mobility and switch up A real strong acquisition to pick up That goes to great lengths a great distance For instance, watch the way he spots his prey from a distance Predator thats ready for the strike at long range The sniper with the rifle with a gifted long aim Diagonal direction is his versatile movement Service with a smile while he's shooting... Verse 5: Es The next chess piece is the symbol of the man of the house Represents stability, presence commanding no doubt Uh king with the crown, father figure on the mound Protector and provider but he's gotta stick around Keep his family in check but other players want to check him Strong leadership when he's equipped to be source of direction Even though movement is limited to one step at a time His arm's reach is unlimited when we step outta line Scratch Chorus: DJ Mercilless I play my enemies like a game of chess (x2) Verse 6: Es The most powerful of all pieces for sure and it's known Nurturer of offspring, corner stone of the home This symbol of modern women independent and so intelligent Leaders in the community with a gift Vying to bridge ridiculous gaps in the name of gender equality Sad to say it's still a thing that's appalling Queens of all colours and creeds y'all make strides All those in favour...say I... Hook: Es I got a story about society and it's makeup Pieces to the puzzle that create us Metaphor for chess games we play, stresses we face Players in this game everyday Life is like a chess game and we all play positions Fighting for what's ours aim is the mission Many complexities of life know your role the team wins Execute, the team wins in the grand scheme of things
