This ain't no game, it's a war with a rhythm I Move pieces in the dark, they don't even

Know I'm in it I'm playin' chess, they playin' with They

Fin' lives By the time they catch a clue, I done Sacrificed

Five I'm the puppet master, strings tied till

They fade I don't move, I manipulate, one punk, I'm

Gone in two Now the queen ain't safe, Mothafucka, this

Checkmate Every step I take, I blood on the plan, I

Don't shoot wild, I aim with the hand of the dam

I see every fuckin' angle like a god with a scope

You react, I adapt, you swing, I rope a dope I'm The bishop in the cup, movin' clean on the slide

You a knight in the loop, just jumpin' blind side to Side

I'm the king with no fear, send a rook through The storm

I break your defense, for your army's even born

I don't blink when the threat get loud I just smile, Move a piece, then I bury that

Crowd Every threat that you pose, I already Mapped

Out I let you win a skirmish just to drag your

Ass out This ain't no game, this a war with a Rhythm

I move pieces in the dark, they don't even know I'm in it

I'm playin' chess, they playin' with they fin' lives

By the time they catch a clue, I done sacrificed Five

I'm the puppet master, strings tied till they fade

I don't move, I manipulate, one punk, I'm gone in Two

Now the queen ain't safe, motherfuckers, Checkmate

I write scripts, they act them out like a stage

I'm the shadow in the boardroom, I'm the words On the page

I'm the silence in the alley before the blade gets Drawn

They the rats in the maze, thinkin' they movin' Strong

I knew your plug before you met your crew Had Dirt on your shooter before he even knew you

You run plays that I fed through your own damn Team

Every move that you flex is a part of my scheme You flip packs, I flip people, it's a whole new scale

I don't yell or bang, I just post a bail I don't chase The beef, I let it age like wine

Then I serve that revenge cold right on time

This ain't no game, it's a war with a rhythm

I move pieces in the dark, they don't even know I'm in it

I'm playin' chess, they playin' with they fin' lives

By the time they catch a clue, I done sacrificed Five

I'm the puppet master, strings tied till they fade

I don't move, I manipulate, one punk, I'm gone in Two

Now the queen ain't safe, mother, for this Checkmate
