[Intro: Smallville]
Meaning that my future is just once chess move, in the endless game of one-up-man-ship played by you and your dad…

[Somewhere in-between]
THE PAWN, THE KNIGHT, THE KING, THE QUEEN
Your move, your go
THE PAWN, THE KNIGHT, THE KING-
Say… when is this over?

I move, (checkmate) you move (check, check-), I move (checkmate), you move (check, check-), I move (checkmate), you move (check, check-)…
And when the horse steps, pawns come falling down

THE PAWN, THE KNIGHT, THE KING, THE QUEEN
Your move, your go
THE PAWN, THE KNIGHT, THE KING-
Say… when is this over?

I move, (checkmatе) you move (check, check-), I movе (checkmate), you move (check, check-), I move (checkmate), you move (check, check-)…
And when the horse steps, pawns come falling down

Black v. white, say coincidence?
Believe you insinuated hate…
This match ain’t about the time
It’s about the wait…

Ah, ah, ah, ah-
With the Lord’s fist
Kings be falling down
THE PAWN, THE KNIGHT, THE KING, THE QUEEN-
Your move, your go
THE PAWN, THE KNIGHT, THE KING-
Say… when is this over?

I move, (checkmate) you move (check, check-), I move (checkmate), you move (check, check-), I move (checkmate), you move (check, check-)…
When the horse steps, pawns come falling down

To everything there is a season
Every match, there’s a season in this place
Some games are easier to take
Some have me
Seeing harder days
Ah ah… ah ah…
With the Lord’s fist, kings be falling down

My enemy stumbles when I do good…
Staying humble, and your days are numbered
Oh my God, please save me from self-sabotaging ways
Ah ah, ah ah…
With the Lord’s fist, kings be falling down

THE PAWN, THE (Mmm, ay, ay..) KNIGHT, THE KING, THE QUEEN
Your move, your go
THE PAWN, THE KNIGHT, THE KING-
Say… when is this over?
I move, (checkmate) you move (check, check-), I move (checkmate), you move (check, check-), I move (checkmate), you move (check, check-)…
And when the horse steps, pawns come falling down

[Outro: Jene9sis]
The king represents love
Cause if I have not love, I am nothing
The queen is everything I gotta go through
The horse gives me power to jump over the obstacles
The pawn… the pawn is every day I wake up
Yea this life is like chess
Now it’s my move

[Outro: The Wire]
Like I said, the queen ain’t no bitch
