[Verse 1] I moved two squares You moved too fast I watched the whole board You played the past Hand on the rook Mind on the crown You made a loud move Then I shut it down You were chasing noise I was laying traps Every little bluff Turned into a gap I read your eyes I read your lies Now your king stands still And the room gets quiet [Pre-Chorus] Clock tick, one breath One last mistake You reached for the win But you were too late I set the line You crossed that line Now every single piece Is mine [Chorus] I was playing chess While you were playing checkers I was playing chess Now it’s checkmate, motherfucker I was playing chess While you were playing checkers I was playing chess Now it’s checkmate, motherfucker [Verse 2] You ran your mouth I ran the board You swung at air I took what you swore Your little plan Folded in my hand Every fake king Had to leave the land No second chance No graceful fall You broke your own play I saw it all I stayed composed Stone-cold face Then I took your crown At a dead sprint pace [Pre-Chorus] Clock tick, one breath One last mistake You reached for the win But you were too late I set the line You crossed that line Now every single piece Is mine [Chorus] I was playing chess While you were playing checkers I was playing chess Now it’s checkmate, motherfucker I was playing chess While you were playing checkers I was playing chess Now it’s checkmate, motherfucker [Bridge] Move by move I made you blink You thought you had me You didn’t think King on the edge Face in the dirt That’s what you get For trying to hurt [Final Chorus] I was playing chess While you were playing checkers I was playing chess Now it’s checkmate, motherfucker I was playing chess While you were playing checkers I was playing chess Now it’s checkmate, motherfucker
