Checkmate Lyrics

Huh

Niggas ain't even told me life was chess, you know

Niggas outcha playing checkers and shit

(Dumb nigga)

Know Who It Is Though

TraeDio

Let's get it

Checkmate cause I'm about tah declare war

Send my pawns nahh they knocking at ya door

So much weight on my shoulders got my back sore

Thinking back I'm way better then before

I Won't even let you catch up to me

Dive up in that water head first I'm to deep

Swimming with the sharks now they recognize me

Person Of A G you ain't even know that's Me

Aye

Why these niggas playing checkers?

One day they'll see it was chess

Yeah you gotta something to say speak with ya chest

And I advise you to come correct get it off ya chest don't, die with regret

Life's a gamble and you scared to make a bet

Tryna tell me chase a hoe, no I rather chase a check

Making reservations for the top that's fashoo gone be a big check

Me starve again? "I'm like no way"

And I just wanna thank the Lord for his grace

And I'm sitting here with a big steak

Now it's to much on my plate that's the goal so I ate

Don't ask me bout a soul you don't see me with

Niggas fake Hoes too

Why you speak on what I do?

If you hear a rumor bout me, just believe it as the truth

Only Trae could tell you what I really do

If you don't know shit don't speak up on it

Nothing is forever so just enjoy the moment

Never say I'm prefect but I'm for sure real decent

Checkmate cause I'm about to end this session

Fuck a defense ain't no more defending

They put you on ya feet, Why aren't you not standing?

Money coming in yeah I which the plane landing

Standing on business with the bros yeah we stacking

Switch, How the fuck you supposed to be the leader

When you never was the soldier

Never was the ranger

They say it took time yeah to grow,

I learned from mistakes so I know

And I'm really him niggas wanna be like me

But they ain't get the same reflection as me

I learned majority from the Og

Pops was a problem what the fuck I'm suppose to be

Yeahhhh and I had a heart of gold

Put it in a casket

Throw it in the hole

Yeah

Cause this world so cold

And I lend a sweater out how you don't fold

Yeah

Check my closet for another one

She tryna sell me dreams like I'm the only one

Babygirl we can have some real fun and you cooling with a boss yeah they call me Da Dunn

And Sometimes I find myself searching for love, must be stupid

These bitches want my all but I ain't Cupid

Cross my heart hope to die left me wounded

Never hated on a nigga I be making music

Blow your brain with these bars left you clueless

Might just say it one more time,God sign me all the signs

Yeah the devil I decline, Checkmate cause you mine

So much weight on my shoulders got my back sore

Thinking back I'm way better then before

I Won't even let you catch up to me

Dive up in that water head first I'm to deep

Swimming with the sharks now they recognize me

Person Of A G you ain't even know that's Me

Aye

Why these niggas playing checkers?

One day they'll see it was chess

Yeah you gotta something to say speak with ya chest

And I advise you to come correct get it off ya chest don't, die with regret

Life's a gamble and you scared to make a bet

Tryna tell me chase a hoe, no I rather chase a check

Making reservations for the top that's fashoo gone be a big check

Me starve again? "I'm like no way"

And I just wanna thank the Lord for his grace Huh
