The Gambit Lyrics

The Gambit - Erinem

...

The Gambit / Erinem

You fight and you strive

For this prize

But it comes

At the highest price

You will

Have to sacrifice

For a slice

Of paradise

(Cuz it)

Won't come easy

You won't get handed it

You will have to pay

Asking myself

Do you think you can stand it?

The hustle is the job

Are you a good candidate?

I'd give it all up for this

It's the gambit

I hope, you win, the game

When you do

I hope, you can, stand to

Live, with what, you lose

What, will, you choose?

Three more moves

And then the haters lose

But this song was

One of the three

So I'm sayin so-long to you

Cuz now it's down to two

Two moves to victory

You can keep on, dicking me

Around

I'm bout to be making history

I'm blistery

From all this movin' around

That I do

It must be gettin to you, too

So go on, you can sit and stew

Sit back and play the kazoo

You can continue

Giving me a thumbs down

Cuz I won't

Dumb my shit down

You can moan groan

And beat the ground

Check the board

Round and round

You can just delay

Wait and, calculate

Nay-say, you can frown

Til you're blue in the head

Down

To your feet

There's really no need, cuz

You can't hide from defeat

You can sit there

Pulling out your hair

Go ahead

And hesitate, insinuate

And speculate

It's ok, I got the time to waste

You can do, what you choose

You played into my moves

There's nothing you can do

You fell into, my gambit

I wrecked you

Across the spectrum

On every shade of the gamut

Damnit

This ain't an accident

I planned it

I won't act innocent

That trendin' shit?

I can't stand it

The game took a nose-dive

That trash is what we got

When it crash-landed

And let's get it straight

After this

There won't be no rematch

No second date

I'm a renegade, silly

You got played

This is the gambit

Underhanded

I planned it

To seal your fate

I just wanna sit at the table

I don't even want a plate

I loved this from the start

I don't wanna be the boss

Just to play my part

So, not sorry for your loss

Let's talk about the the cost

Cuz, for me

The price was great

That's the gambit

A sacrifice

It's the best move you can make

And, you can hardly stand it

You have to lose it all

Just to win a hand in it

That shit hurts

What if it doesn't work?

Damnit

So there's no need

To look at me like I'm trippin

Lookin like

You just sucked a lemon

If I win, it's cuz I was driven

I worked hard

Like it was my job

One I had to pay to do

And this shit

Still ain't earned me a living

But it's, all I wanna do

So just know

I'm not here to take

I'm here to do the giving

Maybe you should

Check your hate

If you can still see straight

You're about to

Witness me winning

I'm not here to replace

The Greats in this

I just wanna work with em

And if you don't know that

You clearly ain't met me

I'm coming in

Whether or not

They let me

And this shit proves

To my gambit

You will lose

Get ready

With this EP

Let's see

Step-one is done

And the second-play

Is coming soon

By the way

Checkmate

In two moves

This is the Gambit
