(uh-huh,
yeah) (check
the board, listen)
I'm stepping on the board as a humble pawn
Watching major labels run their gambit till the dawn They offer poisoned
knights but I see right through the trap They want to trade
my bishop just to lock me in a contract Every square is
cold, gotta watch the way I slide Got the rooks on the
perimeter with nowhere left to hide
Now the queen is moving sideways,
she's hunting for the crown
One bad move and they will tear your castle down Trying to
reach promotion, make it to the other side But the grandmasters cheat
when you've got no place to hide
Keep your king protected while the ticking clock is running Calculating tactics
'cause the industry is cunning
It's a grand design,
checkmate in the dark (yeah) Every single move we make is leaving
up a mark (watch the board) From the pawn to the king,
we play the game to win Avoiding all the traps and the
cycle that we're in
No draws accepted, we are playing till the end Never mistake an
opponent for a trusted friend
They try to block the path but my diagonal is clear I
read the whole position,
overcoming all the fear Now the final combination is starting to unfold
We survived the cold winters on the squares of gold (checkmate)
(yeah,
game over)
(we saw the whole board)
