Check Mate !

Uh
Check'a
Check Mate!
I'm finna start it off like this
Uh

Fuck y'all niggas who be thinking they a whole dog
Coming through my city you can put me on a roll call
Yo I don't know y'all
If you ain't mess with me then don't try to do it now 'cause I'm goin off (Ha)
Had to live my life as a son of a pastor (Yep)
21 Years and life is only going faster (Damn)
You see me as another black rapper
Well I see you as another white cracker (Yep)
I'm the main actor you was just casted
Just to be a extra put up in the back end (Uh)
Bitch I am the future, you was just the past tense
I was in the classroom, you was always absent (Gone)
Please understand though, even in a bad place
I can make a hit song, even on a bad day
I can go into the dark and still I will never fade
You can't block me off 'cause I'ma run through the barricade (Damn)

They try to shoot me down in the street (Street)
They try to put me underneath they feet (Feet)
They wondering how did I succeed? (How)
And it's because I don't never take defeat (Nah)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga

Niggas keep asking "Fred where you been at?"
"Working motherfucker but you never did get that" (What)
"Nah Bro you've been acting funny with the whole crew"
"Well I don't give a damn about y'all with y'all bitch ass" (Bitch)
Holding me back to get a bigger placement
I'm all about business I'm nothing to be played with
I came a long way from that nigga in the basement
I made a new reality 'cause dreams are what you make it (Woo)
I'm the same curly headed boy you met up in the past bro
I know I changed a lot but that's all you can ask for
I be hiding secrets like a complicated passcode
Gold diggers want me 'cause they know I got a cash flow (Hoe)
Cameras keep flashing feel like I'm in a light show
Sitting at my peak and I ain't even reach the Eiffel
Life is so crazy ain't no telling where I might go
But you can make room 'cause I'm staying for the night hoe (Woo)

They try to shoot me down in the street (Street)
They try to put me underneath they feet (Feet)
They wondering how did I succeed? (How)
And it's because I don't never take defeat (Nah)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga

They don't wanna see me win I see (Nah)
'Cause imagine what would happen if I came complete (Ha)
And they know they don't wanna be my enemy (Nope)
'Cause when I'm on it ain't nobody who can contain the beast (Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh)
Let's Go
Check'a Fred baby ladies see me then they drop it low
I got the fuel in me so they say I got a rocket flow (Woo)
Some say I know how to flow, some think I'm original
Some think I need God, and some think I'm super spiritual (Woo)
Y'all think I'm whack, but you never did say
I look behind my back looking out for my prey
They gave me the crown now I'm back in my place
Now these niggas in my trap and now that game Check Mate, Check Mate!

They try to shoot me down in the street (Street)
They try to put me underneath they feet (Feet)
They wondering how did I succeed? (How)
And it's because I don't never take defeat (Nah)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga (Uh)
Check Mate nigga
They try to shoot me down in the street (Street)
They try to put me underneath they feet (Feet)
They wondering how did I succeed? (How)
And it's because I don't never take defeat (Nah)
Check
Check
Check
Check Mate nigga
