Check Mate

Verse 1

You talk big, but you never prove it

One slow step while I keep it movin'

Different lanes, with a different view

You chase dreams, you will never achieve

Chorus

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess

You are the worse, you now face the best

Not even close, another loser like all the rest

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess

Verse 2

You copy moves, I write the plan

You reach once, I reach again.

Every round shows the true of truth

The gap keeps growing in plain view

Chorus

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess

You are the worse, you now face the best

Not even close, another loser like all the rest

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess

Bridge

Two different worlds, two different speeds

You play catch-up, I take the lead

The final score says all that's left

You brought checkers. I brought chess

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Pressure builds, I never fold

You lose your grip, I keep control

Every choice widens the space

You can't keep up with my pace

Chorus

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess

You are the worse, you now face the best

Not even close, another loser like all the rest

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess

Guitar Solo

Verse 4

When it's done, the board is clear

The difference has been there for years

No debate, no second guess

The king still stands above the rest

Chorus

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess

You are the worse, you now face the best

Not even close, another loser like all the rest

You're playing checkers and I'm playing chess
