Uncle's Chess Moves

Yea, Uh

(Thee Instant Classic)

Look

It's been a minute since I picked up my pen
My setbacks had we wondering if I could do this again
See I've been going through some changes
Losses and that pain shit
See if you relate so let my story begin

Now check it

My uncle died at the start of this year
So if you ever see me down that's my reason for tears
And I don't need no sympathy I know that death is a trigger
But give me your time I'll put you on game
Straight from a real Nigga

He told me
1st thing be a man of your word
And don't get lost up in the sauce of fast money and girls
See cut the grass and see the snakes for all their devilish ways
And notice when the truth be knocking, there's nothing to say

Remember
See number 2, stay true to yourself
See don't complain about the setbacks and the cards you were dealt
See don't you know that bad boys move in silence and violence
Ever did me wrong I'll get you back in perfect timing

Now number 3, I regard this as king
To all the kids keep the main thing the main thing
Because when you, lack direction you'll be stuck in a slump
And you'll be running for no reason like my man Forest Gump

On God, now number 4, I know you'll adore
See life ain't a competition, why the fuck you keep score
See roller coasters ups and downs some days you win and you loose
But understand there ain't a victory if the family feuds

No lie, see number 5 will keep you alive
Like Tony said listen "Chico baby eyes never lie"
And don't be lacking like a sucker
(Boy stay on your p's and your q's)
See this is business nothing personal my uncle's chess moves

So I, I sit back think to myself and reflect
About my past and where I'm going and I can finally accept
That I ain't perfect but I'm worth it, I keep it G like a grand
Until you step into these Nike's you could never understand

That I, I walk in faith and I'm a long way from home
See I inspire all my people through a cellular phone
And I see greatness in my future so just do not disturb

Now that's love

My Son
I know your guardian Angels are watching over you
And they are proud of you

Keep your head high
Regardless of whatever life throws at you
Keep on walking

I love you
And I'm proud of you
