Chess Game
Life is a chess game
Life is a chess match
Make wise decisions
Move forward or get left back
Life is a chess game
Life is a chess match
Make wise decisions
Move forward or get left back
Chess - abstract, strategic game of truth exemplar
Objective - obliterate opposition submitting emperors
Checkmate! Surrounded, no way of escape
Life is complex, moves made determine the fate
Perfection verses grave mistakes some ways they relate
The world is a chessboard, each person a piece on their square
Status set specifically by birth state, race, and social heir
Kings the presidents, prime ministers, CEOs, celebrities
Huge followings, great power and responsibility, well protected piece
But useless without support from loyalists, backers, and underlings
All hail the queen! Her motion unparalleled, second in command
Managers, directors, experts, and regional leaders represent her hand
But she's not safe, can be replaced, removed from her land
Bishops devoted to the king, blind faithfulness to rigid regime
Conservatives upholding tradition, religion, status quo esteemed
Juxtaposed to knights, change agents, for freedom furiously fight
Elevated travelers, these activists philosophize better days & nights
The arms of the strong tower reside in the castle
Armed forces, police power provides protection against hassles
Most people portray pawns in the system, climbing ladders of success
The mantra "if you work hard enough..." makes them obsess
While the powerful play their heart strings, fiddling melodies for their process
The positions and movements through life a part of the rules set
The natural and spiritual order of man often an unfair, cruel debt
Yet, these pieces heavily influenced by major players
Ideas, beliefs, angels, demons, maneuvering around the outer layer
Behind-the-scenes dictating events globally, locally, & individually
Life is a chess game
Life is a chess game
Life is a chess match
Make wise decisions
Move forward or get left back
Life is a chess game
Life is a chess match
Make wise decisions
Move forward or get left back
Life is a chess game, navigating expertly the key to win
Take the center of action, strengthen pathways, seek within
Hopes, dreams, devise secret schemes to accomplish
Advancement and diminish failure's chances to demolish
Your soul, hide in the castle fortified by morals, whit, integrity
Safeguards against sudden tactics, tricks, and devilry
Predicate positive performance practicing proper planning
Never sever levers, endeavor better measures, expanding
Development upon settlement, dictate the course with initiative
Threaten the opposition's choices, exploit weaknesses, be prohibitive
Might not know the future, but you can see around the corner
Think three steps ahead to have time to heed the warnings
To understand the board, understand the stages of life
The beginning, middle, and endgame; must play the phases right
From conception - family, class, and neighborhood out of your control
Young procession initially dependent on skills parents behold
Gradually you learn through education, gain experiences, reservations
During this phase the selection of your peers determines how you veer
Either pressured for success or destined to derail, it's how you steer
In the middle phase made mistakes and had progress, now in your career
Concepts and recovery may be foggy, but by now purpose should be clear
This era, don't error in a mate for marriage; it'll alter your course
Good spouses sprout splendorous springs, bad ones deserts of death and divorce
The endgame old age, should be spent resting in opulence
If challenges were overcome then comfort is sure, if not grave consequence
You'll be what you believe, discern wolves clothed as sheep
Heaven or Hell, victory or defeat, with the Shepherd free to bleat, the wolf left to bleed

Life is a chess game man
You gotta make wise decisions
So you can get to where you wanna go
Protect your king, protect your peace
