Chess & Not Checkers Lyrics

I'm back, fully loaded, with the world on my back

Yes, I'm still in the trap, tryna get my money back

And invest in my city, Illinois, it's my state

Pussy ass rappers swear, they think they can't relate

I fuck your bitch, don't put your hate Make better choices, stop being fake

Hustle hard and get this cake Make power moves with nothing to lose

Tomorrow ain't promised in my present It's a gift, investing in Bitcoin

To make a major flip

We playing chess and not checkers

Now watch your DJ spin me in heavy rotation We flippin' paper while your ho catchin' vapors

Like this strawberry kush that I'm smokin' Stay in focus, never jokin

Make your baby mama disappear, like Hocus Pocus Now watch the queen of diamonds reappear

This my year to fall in love with my career Put in work to build my legacy

Never let these pussy ass niggas get the best of me

Middle finger to groupie assholes, ain't no stressin' me

Proud don't catch a felony, because this rap game

Brings greed, hate, and envy, and jealousy

Now watch me flip the script and turn up on these weak ass rappers

Who can't write they own lyrics with a ego full of shit

Now watch me get rich, who wanna play chess With the king of the Midwest

Protect your neck, protect your chest Keep your Bible and stay blessed

Whoever disrespect, we gon' put you to the test

East St. Louis, Illinois, we goin' hard with the best

We goin' hard with the best

We playin' chess and not checkers

King of the Midwest, sittin' high on 30 inches

Gettin' riches, fuckin' bitches Flexin, got them hittin' switches

While I'm pimpin' on the east side, where the G's ride

Clocked up, posted on the block, gettin' my merch off

Ballin' on the budget, payin' bills, makin' deals

Keepin' it real with my family, leave no handouts

All hustle, all muscle, never let my brother stroke

I'm still playin' chess, clean my dirt up when I make a mess

Best believe I'm the question to make these hoes guess my answer

Who dipped in black in that Phantom

So many critics really think I got a faggot to make it

But I'm up 650, so you can't make me or break me

Now watch me put the dick inside your hoe and make her go crazy

While you still up in your feels, I'm tryna take care of my baby

I'ma playin' cementil, I'm morphin' to shady

I'ma playin' cementil, I'm morphin' to shady

We playin' chess and not checkers

We playin' chess and not checkers

We playin' chess and not checkers
