Nate Rose
Chess
[Chorus]
I think I’m playing chess, I see a king I’m at his neck
I’m three steps ahead at every move, now that’s a check yes
They wanna know my secret, it’s because I never slept
All my nightmares are me at 40 life’s a wreck

[Verse 1]
Seen my Dad, he in debt
And my mom, she upset
That’s way back when 408
On Seminole was the address
I saw things I shouldn’t have
And though I love the fam to death
Way back then it was a mess
And we was living check to check
Now my shirts are getting pressed
Ya girl see me she impressed
And my fans are quite obsessed
I owe them everything, I’m blessed
I made a living making art and aiming closely at they neck
If you think I’m not a threat
Ehhhhhhhhh, incorrect

[Bridge]
She call and I put her on block list
I call that options
They can support or get dropped quick
That be me stock pick
I guess I’m back in the cockpit
Turn the whole crowd to a mosh pit
I make a hit like a drop kick
Cuz I got the keys like a locksmith
[Chorus]
I think I’m playing chess, I see a king I’m at his neck
I’m three steps ahead at every move, now that’s a check yes
They wanna know my secret, it’s because I never slept
All my nightmares are me at 40 life’s a wreck

[Verse 2]
If I make enough to hop in a Ghost
Then I’ll be a ghost
What I do is a hobby for most
A comedy roast
So I’m on my own
I gotta be known
They gotta be toast
I’m an anomaly know
You ain’t ever put the motherfucking
Work into a dream and it’s obvious
Now I body everything
And everybody at shows
My revenue growth
Is out of control
I’m ready to blow
I’m ready for war, I’m ready for smoke
You ready to go?
I really..
[Chorus]
I think I’m playing chess, I see a king I’m at his neck
I’m three steps ahead at every move, now that’s a check yes
They wanna know my secret, it’s because I never slept
All my nightmares are me at 40 life’s a wreck
