Wale - Chess Lyrics
So you find it's a chess game. Except in this chess, the board is made of water that's just flowing, and all the chess pieces are smoke. You can make all the moves you want, they will not affect the outcome
In the grand scheme of life we like pieces on the board
Look inside yours, you a king, or a pawn?
I came from a scene where the kids on water
Like a sicilian defense
Go ahead and play silly, you'll get billy clubbed to death
Welcome to the city, ain't no sympathy for rats
Where the whites move first and you go second, cause you're black
Was it Rayful, was it Raegan, did the 80's hold 'em back?
This is no connect four but blood spilling for connects
Years later niggas still up in that trap
Thank God that a nigga had that rap
Cause after school, played that corner like a rook
That's when niggas getting book, out there tryna get their last move
And every night they take L's straight to the face
Let's play
In the grand scheme of life we like pieces on the board
Look inside yours, you a king, or a pawn?
Now for that truce, would you bishop double cross?
Here they move so many squares, now I'm [?] falling off
They was getting bread, getting on
Stupid nigga couldn't grasp while my payers moving lawns
Now move along, pawns never get the Queens
I'm the only nigga here like Ron Simmons in the ring
Now I'm winning in the streets
Rap, send me shit discreet
Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, Bob Fisher on that beat
Genius, me, fresh no esteban
Best be on your toes, you trying to avoid deblex
We up

Wale Chess Comments
Spoken word on WAX !
Genuinely my favourite Wale song
True lyrical display 👌
the world is like a chess game but the board is made of water and all the pones are smoked.damn where All my chess players comment where you at N from????
When he said "I had to read up on chess for two hours before I wrote this". GOAT.
Who's listening in 2017
"For that juice would you Bishop double cross"
😭😭 the best
very underrated beat
Wale was my 2015 artist, he had the best album of 2015 in my books and is by far the labels best artist. He will forever remain in my sets
I agree!
BEST SONG OFF THE TAPE
Wale should have put this on TAAN or at least drop a video for this ! This goes so damn hard
"For that JUICE would you BISHOP double cross" Damn Damn Damn
Lyrical Titan
my favorite line dude "I Need that Checkmate" that shit was hardbody!
Should've been on TAAN
Dang yo, you give Wale a topic, and he reeeeeally expounds on it, layering it with mad references and unrelated metaphors that eventually tie in once you Rap Genius it......he has true literary talent sadly he'll be one of the most underaprreciated in the years to come
@EuDouArte HipHop Art Culture agreed
Completely agree 💯
All facts
Wow this shit is amazing he still on his shit. Lawd the beat tho. Mean
He really kilt this first verse
Where the whites move first and you go second, cause you're black
This is a true DC sound. Outside of that first single with Gaga people should realize Wale is a true hip hop sound of the city
All these chess references, this is dope! "Every night take L's to the face." #genius #folarin
this that Miami nights wale feel, who agrees?
Hell yeah. This the shit we miss
Wale is the sixth man off the bench. Very valuable player. Jams like this backs my statement up
that seinfeld quote gets me every time
what quote?
@Jamel Simmons at the beginning of the song
@stickbrain yes! Very deep. I love how he gets it. A lot listeners won't understand.
@Tahira Davis *a lot of listeners*
@Tahira Davis thanks lol
This is something special
