Chess

I think I'm playing chess, I see a king I'm at his neck
I'm three steps ahead at every move, now that's a check, yes
They wanna know my secret, it's because I never slept
All my nightmares are me at 40, life's a wreck

See my dad, he in debt and my mom, she upset
That's way back when 408 on Seminole was the address
I saw things, I shouldn't have, though I love the fam to death
Way back then, it was a mess, we was living check to check

Now my shirts are getting pressed, your girl see me, she impressed
And my fans are quite obsessed, I owe 'em everything, I'm blessed
Made a living, making art and aiming closely at they neck
If you think I'm not a threat, I'm like, "Eh", incorrect, yeah

She call, I put her on black list, I call that options
They can support or get dropped quick, that be my stock pick
I guess I'm back in the cockpit, turn the whole crowd to a mosh pit
I make a hit like a drop-kick, 'cause I got the key like a lock smith

I think I'm playing chess, I see a king I'm at his neck
I'm three steps ahead at every move, now that's a check, yes
They wanna know my secret, it's because I never slept
All my nightmares are me at 40, life's a wreck

If I make enough to hop in a ghost, then I'll be a ghost
What I do is a hobby for most, a comedy roast
So I'm on my own, I gotta be known, they gotta be toast
I'm an anomaly know, you ain't ever put the motherfucking work in, into a dream, and it's obvious
Now I body everything and everybody at shows
My revenue growth, is out of control
I'm ready to blow, I'm ready for war
I'm ready to smoke, you ready to go?
I really-

I think I'm playing chess, I see a king I'm at his neck
I'm three steps ahead at every move, now that's a check, yes
They wanna know my secret, it's because I never slept
All my nightmares are me at 40, life's a wreck
