Checkmate

Tafia, Javar Rockamore, Aaron Reid, Bobby Keyz

[Intro]
(Turn me up, Aaron)
Ayy, ayy, ayy
(Think we found a Loophole)

[Verse 1]
When I had to lay it down, I'm like, "Fuck it, it's nothin'"
Do the time, come outside, get a couple hundred
But shit, it wasn't easy, had some ones who didn't believe me
Then I started talkin' greasy and I turned into a monster

[Chorus]
Checkmate, I'ma play the game a lil' smarter
Checkmate, all my pieces hittin' in the mall, like checkmate
I'm a king, I can't be involved, like checkmate
Marriеd to the streets, no alter

[Verse 2]
I play chess with 'еm, don't do no type of talkin' (No)
Know the feds watchin', doing all type of stalkin' (Oh)
I play the cut like I'm playin' Spade again (Ayy)
Niggas talkin' crazy, bring the K's again (Ayy)
And move silent, all my young niggas be wildin' (Huh)
Just came from bussin juggs, now I'm chillin' on an island (Uh-huh)
Money make a bitch, it don't make a real nigga
If it wasn't for Meek, I wouldn't sign no deals, nigga (Let's go)
Get it from the mud, then get it again (Again)
Took so many L's, they just want me to win (Win)
But you won't wish me well 'til I'm in the coffin (Uh)
But by then, I done blew two hundred mill' ballin' (Ayy)

[Chorus]
Checkmate, I'ma play the game a lil' smarter
Checkmate, all my pieces hittin' in the mall, like checkmate
I'm a king, I can't be involved, like checkmate
Married to the streets, no alter
Checkmate, I'ma play the game a lil' smarter
Checkmate, all my pieces hittin' in the mall, like checkmate
I'm a king, I can't be involved, like checkmate
Married to the streets, no alter

[Verse 3]
Move different, all my pieces move different (Uh)
Shit hittin', I got millions on my hit list (Uh-huh)
Finger itchin' (Yeah), diamonds on it cause attention (Attention)
I'm in the trenches, slidin', foreign Benz, bendin' (Skrrt)
Niggas 'round my way full of envy, I know it (I know it)
But I ain't pussy, so it kind of hard for them to show it (Hard for them to show it)
Plus I keep a cannon close and you know I'm gon' blow it (I'm gon' blow it)
Play chess with 'em, in order, hold up
Let 'em feel how they feel, don't even entertain it (Huh)
They know you polished, they tryin' hard to leave a stain (A stain)
Know how I'm rockin', I'll put some 'bows on your brain (Yeah)
Need to stop it, this money coming like a train (Uh-huh)

[Chorus]
Checkmate, I'ma play the game a lil' smarter
Checkmate, all my pieces hittin' in the mall, like checkmate
I'm a king, I can't be involved, like checkmate
Married to the streets, no alter
Checkmate, I'ma play the game a lil' smarter
Checkmate, all my pieces hittin' in the mall, like checkmate
I'm a king, I can't be involved, like checkmate
Married to the streets, no alter
