Devin Miles - Chess, Not Checkers lyrics

Ft. Hardo (Hook x2) When you play the game, always play to be better Tryna make a name, we do this in any weather Some of them is fake, the rest of them all reckless From a pawn to a king, this is chess, not checkers (Verse) We just out here tryna function, n***a Don't really f** with n***as I might wave and say hi, if you f**in' with us They wanna fork up off the plate like they lunchin' with us Three words come to mind for that type: f** them n***as I'm just out here for that bankroll Been the same since I been a day old These n***as moldin' the same flow After mine, they styles is Play-Do You see I been consistently ripping beats See my name grow, now these b**hes f**in' the squad out here like Bang Bros Focused on mine, see I witness that cake grow Opportunities rise, well, we take those Check-mate! Good game tho Maybe you'll learn a thing or two And listen for a change when I say to you that (Hook x2) When you play the game, always play to be better Tryna make a name, we do this in any weather Some of them is fake, the rest of them all reckless From a pawn to a king, this is chess, not checkers (Verse 2) Trap, a n***a focused at times, I'm like f** it What's the point to make a change if you die over nothin'? They say that Satan draped the diamonds, my Jesus just flooded I guess I got it f**ed up in the eye of the public Money crazy, on fam pickin' sides by the budget Neva thought to see the day I collide with a cousin When I first got off the porch, man, I thought that I loved it I was hotter than a torch and that Glock I was huggin' I was really hittin' licks, movin' bricks like construction 3 man had walked to see the plug, then I send it up to ? I know ya see these b**hes come by the dime, by the dozen I guess a n***a Roosevelt, nickle plate belt ? (Hook x2) When you play the game, always play to be better Tryna make a name, we do this in any weather Some of them is fake, the rest of them all reckless From a pawn to a king, this is chess, not checkers (Verse 3) My team play hard like everyday is the playoffs If you don't rhyme like the playoffs then you'll fade off I been at this mic like every seconds, with no days off Then n***as ain't workin' so chances are they get layed off But that's life, it's funny how n***as think we receive hand-outs Becuz a n***a came up then became a stand-out And now people runnin' up, puttin' they hands out They give you fake love and they claimin' I'm the man now But where was you when I recorded in my room? Not even a booth, now I traded in that dorm room for a city U Them wishes turned into goals, the grind make em come true Just a little advice, listen when I say to you (Hook x2) When you play the game, always play to be better Tryna make a name, we do this in any weather Some of them is fake, the rest of them all reckless From a pawn to a king, this is chess, not checkers
