Chess not Checkers Lyrics

Nothing really phase me

Never folded under pressure cause a king raised me

Chess not checkers, but life is a game and

You got full control of what you do so whose to blame

That would be you. A queen raised me too

I was 10 telling girls that I love them, but really man I aint have a clue

What love really was but that shit sounded cute

Now I break these bitches hearts

Aint no point in tryna hide what you doing in the dark

It's gon always come to light

I probably hit like 20 something home runs 'fore a nigga even seen my first strike

You can ask my brother Mike all we needed was a bike

Best believe that we was pullin up on all the girls we liked

I get to thinking late at night, like what I gotta do?

It be voices in my head, God tell me if it's you

Please tell me what to do, I listen before I speak

Never thought that I was weak got my heart broke & couldn't eat

Reminiscing on the past keeps me up & ion sleep

If you ask me how I been, ima tell you take a seat

Cause I ain't cracked a smile in weeks

So much weight I gotta carry

My poker face'll make you think im living like Larry

Make sure you keep it tucked cause scary niggas really scary

Expect the unexpected like you watching Tom & Jerry

If I tell I you that I love you there isn't no time frame

Fake bitches make my head hurt like a migraine

She really think that im gon marry her, im playing mind games

I just be lying for no reason like that man Lebron James

Nowadays I can't really tell who really genuine

But shout out to my parents cause y'all really raised a gentleman

And shout out to my brother always being by my side

Wish I coulda told Di'jon that I loved him 'fore he died

Have you ever seen a man cry? shit ain't even funny

Don't assume a nigga happy just because he makin money

Up late as fuck at night & im just thinkin do she want me

Like. Fuck, why it be raining when it's sunny?

So much pain up in my eyes but I put on a disguise

Gotta stay strong for my family, for my guys

I been told so many lies, all I do is wonder why?

When im low I get high & blow the smoke up in the sky

On the outside lookin in you would think a nigga straight

No matter how im doing ima say im doing great

How I really feel inside I never show it on my face

Im at peace when im alone I just really enjoy my space

All my ex's live in Texas im never leaving the state

The grass aint always green on the other side of the gate

All my ex's live in Texas im never leaving the state

The grass aint always green on the other side of the gate

Nothing really phase me

Never folded under pressure cause a king raised me

Chess not checkers, but life is a game and

You got full control of what you do so whose to blame

That would be you. A queen raised me too

I was 10 telling girls that I love them, but really man I aint have a clue

What love really was but that shit sounded cute

I aint know what love was but that shit sounded cute
