Lyrics
Verse 1
Yo ah-uh-ah-ah uh-ah-ah-ah
The life we live is just like Chess
Don't think that all you should do is just press
You wanna push or do you wanna smash?
Just playing for fun, living too fast?
Do everything for real, go hard till it lasts
Don't expect joy, or wallow in the past.
Chorus - Chopped Vocal Sample Hook] [Female soulful vocal
Chess is not just about the fight
Don't rush to grab, grab, grab, right, right
Fight sometimes, but for the best sight
You need to defend, then you can fight.
Chorus - Chopped Vocal Sample Hook] [Female soulful vocal
Chess is not just about the fight
Don't rush to grab, grab, grab, right, right
Fight sometimes, but for the best sight
You need to defend, then you can fight.
Wow and Flutter
Verse 2
Sometimes you're standing on the square of white
Sometimes that white suddenly turns to black
You gotta be careful with the moves you make
Will you be white or black? It's yours to take
I can accept it 'cause I am a gal who's true
If you can't accept it, go walk in the zoo.
Chorus - Chopped Vocal Sample Hook] [Female soulful vocal
Chess is not just about the fight
Don't rush to grab, grab, grab, right, right
Fight sometimes, but for the best sight
You need to defend, then you can fight.
Chorus - Chopped Vocal Sample Hook] [Female soulful vocal
Chess is not just about the fight
Don't rush to grab, grab, grab, right, right
Fight sometimes, but for the best sight
You need to defend, then you can fight.
Bridge Vocal / Promise
Though you are born to be black, what you do will lead you to white
Go long, go long, don't mind what they say, say, say
White or black, then what does it mean? It's in your head
Your skin might be dark, but sometimes you're on the white
Or do you wanna be high, like a glue-sniffing guy?
Dreaming sweet dreams in a world of low ground, ground
Wow and Flutter
Outro Vocal
Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit
Move closer, hey man, you look so cool
Go ahead and checkmate, don't be a fool
Oh snap, acting all tough, sucking on a roll
I'm not your bitch for you to look so whole
Come closer, man, come at me with all your soul!
Chorus - Chopped Vocal Sample Hook] [Female soulful vocal
Chess is not just about the fight
Don't rush to grab, grab, grab, right, right
Fight sometimes, but for the best sight
You need to defend, then you can fight.
You need to defend, then you can fight.
You need to defend, then you can fight.
