WAR OVER THE BOARD
[Intro]
Men are gonna come along and wanna teach you things
Doesn't make them any smarter
You just let them blow by and you go on ahead
And do just what the hell you feel like
[Verse 1]
Opening like a book
The middle game
The endgame like a machine
It's war over the board
The objective is to crush the opponents mind
What you know is not always important
Even crack has water, there's life in everything
Herein I give you game
Do not forsake my teaching
Get wisdom
Get understanding
Forget it not
[Verse 2]
One of the wisest men to walk the earth
Said confusion is a gift from God
Times when you feel most desperate
For a solution sit, wait
Clarity will come to you
Confusion is a compass
Use it we're here to build
Not beat the clock, write the vision
And make it plain upon tables
That he may run that readeth it
For still the vision awaits its appointed time
[Verse 3]
The only way you attain true virtue
Is by dealing a life of purpose
Train and discipline character
As is a tale so is life
Not how long it is
But how good it is matters the most
Trust yourself
When all men doubt you
Yet make room for doubt
Don't be tired of waiting or being lied about
Don't deal in lies or being hated
Do not hate, don't look too good
Or talk too wise
[Verse 4]
It hastens to the end
It will not lie if it seems slow
Wait for it it will surely come
It won't delay
Godspeed
