[Verse 1]
You know the ritual, only rollin' medicinal
Make a pack turn into chicken, I'm a magician, fool
Started from the bottom, now my position is pivotal
A liberal, my thoughts on business, fool, you're miniscule
In a New York minute get your bitch in the n***
She into gettin' screwed
I'm into gettin' cheese
Been ravishin' like Rick Rude, I stayed on my dean
Been through mad shit, still I popped up clean
Stylin' like Tyson Beckford on your TV screen
A trapper's dream is a fiend like Charlie Sheen
Played the corner, came up, and now I'm hardly seen
I served n***as that serve you
I stash 6, prolly splurge 2, intelligence is a virtue
You ain't on shit, you a sidekick like Virgil
Streetz been that n***a the whole time like verbal
Rest in peace to my n***as who died early
Who didn't make it to 30
I'll rep your name and remain sturdy
Road to riches in the fast lane, I'm ridin' dirty
N***as tried to ride my wave and they caught scurvy
Been knew I had the force early
Chasin' the root of evil at all cost, hope for the Lord's mercy

[Chorus]
You n***as fools, playin' checkers on a chessboard
If it ain't a check, say less, I'm out to get more
See death around the corner, jail right next door
The world right here in my palm, we don't respect law
You n***as fools, playin' checkers on a chessboard
If it ain't a check, say less, I'm out to get more
See death around the corner, jail right next door
The world right here in my palm, we don't respect law
[Verse 2]
Ayo
No rest, just progress
Hoes and pros in the projects
Donnie Brascos and foes, lost n***as and dopeheads
Traffickin' the pack on mopeds, how you got no rep
When n***as build the bakeries, real shit, no make-believe
Started from a eighth, now I'm major league
My n***as in DC makin' cheese, puttin' PCP on maple leaves
Livin', I look high in the sky and see no ribbon
Just NYPD choppers tryna stop the plot from thickenin'
Give a n***a a court case, goin' off to where your laced
My message to the judge will budge and be a dick in your face
New York state royalty, cakin' all full of oil seed
The fiends ain't got no loyalty, still it's all the spoils to me
Fees be the model, blow trees straight from the bottom
Soon to be big, all we land is plugged in Colorado
Tryna go from duckin' narcos
To pushin' drops over potholes
Word to God, been destined to be pharoah since a snot-nose

[Chorus]
You n***as fools, playin' checkers on a chessboard
If it ain't a check, say less, I'm out to get more
See death around the corner, jail right next door
The world right here in my palm, we don't respect law
You n***as fools, playin' checkers on a chessboard
If it ain't a check, say less, I'm out to get more
See death around the corner, jail right next door
The world right here in my palm, we don't respect law
