[Intro: Samuel L. Jackson in "Fresh"]
2
Now what kinda player am I? Am I an offensive man or a defensive man?
3
That's right, I'm neither. I play my opponent
4
If he likes to attack, I force him to defend himself
5
If he's a cautious man, I draw him into dangerous waters
6
See, you get so frustrated playing defensive positions
7
you make stupid moves you would never make if you were thinking
8
When you come here boy, check that shit at the door
9
[Bridge]
10
I'm at the top of my game, cut the check
11
Somebody better king me, I'm the best
12
Let's play a game of checkers, better yet
13
The game don't love nobody, let's play chess
14
[Chorus]
15
I keep forgettin' we're not in love anymore
16
I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again
17
I keep forgettin' how you made that so clear
18
I keep forgettin' things will never be the same again
19
[Verse 1]
20
I got street knowlege, that's why I outsmart em all
21
Gotta play chess in the streets, it's the art of war
22
Rapper get robbed, they took the jewels off your neck
23
You call the person who you payin' to protect
24
He got all your jewelery back, more or less
25
But now you owe him more, you in debt
26
Guess who got you robbed
27
Why don't you take a wild guess
28
The person you pay to protect you, he playin' chess
29
Oil price high, buildings fall, government stressed
30
They need somebody to blame for all this mess
31
capture Sadam but ain't captured Bin Laden yet
32
That's cause he doesn't exist, they playin' chess
33
A DJ, he helps artists progress
34
But as soon as they get in position, they forget
35
So now he got his own artists on the set
36
They risin' straight to the top, they playin' chess
37
[Bridge]
38
[Chorus]
39
[Verse 2]
40
Life is like a game of chess, get it straight
41
You cheated on your wife, called it a mistake
42
I told her I hate to see a heart break
43
You feelin' bad, lemme take you on a date
44
I just took your queen right in front of your face
45
Now it's easy to get to the king, checkmate
46
One man's pain is another man's pleasure
47
He treat you like trash, I could treat you way better
48
'Cause one man's trash is another man's treasure
49
This is chess not checkers, chess not checkers
50
She don't love you no more, eat dinner out the fridge
51
+When a woman's fed up+, you see the difference kid
52
You try to deny it but you admit what you did
53
She know you better than yourself, there it is
54
Females are intelligent, that's the wisdom kid
55
They're built from the top down like a pyramid
56
[Bridge]
57
[Chorus]
58
[Verse 3]
59
Life is like a game of chess, get it straight
60
I made my first hit record, checkmate
61
I'ma do numbers on my release date
62
Here's another hit record, checkmate
63
You sold millions of records, but what's next?
64
You need a couple of bombs from funk flex
65
A diss record'll make everybody upset
66
But that'll make you hot, you playin' chess
67
Used to be an artist, but now you an exec
68
You signed a buncha wack artists at your desk
69
You make sure they wack so you can sound fresh
70
I guess they just your pawns, you playin' chess
71

72
He pop bottles and celebrate his success
73
Y'all put him on the shelf but told him he was next
74

[Bridge]
76

I got my bishops on the chessboard
81
If you play your cards right you can get yours
