Lyrics:

- Hook -

I got a story 'bout society and it's makeup
The pieces to the puzzle that create us
Metaphor for chess games we play, the stresses we face
Players in this game everyday
Life is like a chess game and we all play positions
Fighting for what's ours aim of the mission
Many complexities of life know your role the team wins
Execute, the team wins in the grand scheme of things

Verse 1:
1. On the front line... is the poor... and middle class pawn
2. First line of defence in this killer ass war
3. The blood sweat and tears but they treatin his ass poor
4. Kill his ass off if his thinking's a tad strong
5. Ill advised for him to develop a backbone
6. Fact only…look what happened to Malcolm
7. Nations built off of the backs of native and black pawns
8. Piece of the pie is all that we ask for

- Scratch chorus -

Verse 2:
9. From offence to defence, recreation to sport
10. Comes the next chess piece better known as the horse
11. Transport for law enforcement and the soldiers at war
12. And for the knight in shining armour holding a sword
13. Motto is ride or die sprint to the crack of a whip
14. And the scabs on his skin reminder of what happened to him
15. Whether dark or pale faced every move is L shaped
16. Win or lose his life is in a stalemate

- Hook -

Verse 3:
17...They say the home is where the heart is
18. They also say its not who strikes first but the hardest
19. Look at the rook one of the few that goes the farthest
20. North south east west hitting the most targets
21. ...Castle for royalty, my humble abode
22. My mansion I show my loyalty, that's come to be home
23. A shack for some, but for many a safe zone
24. In this game of chess the aim of the game is to take yours

- Scratch chorus -

Verse 4:
25. Next shifty character is bishop, with excellent mobility and switch up
26. A real strong acquisition to pick up
27. That goes to great lengths a great distance
28. For instance, watch the way he spots his prey from a distance
29. Predator thats ready for the strike at long range
30. The sniper with the rifle with a gifted long aim
31. Diagonal direction is his versatile movement
32. Service with a smile while he's shooting...

Verse 5:
33. The next chess piece is the symbol of the man of the house
34. Represents stability, presence commanding no doubt
35. The king with the crown, father figure on the mound
36. Protector and provider but he’s gotta stick around
37. Keep his family in check but other players want to check him
38. Strong leadership when he's equipped to be source of direction
39. Even though movement is limited to one step at a time
40. His arm's reach is unlimited when we step outta line

Scratch chorus:

Verse 6:
41. The most powerful of all pieces for sure and it's known
42. Nurturer of offspring, corner stone of the home
43. The symbol of modern women independent and so intelligent
44. Leaders in the community with a gift
45. Vying to bridge ridiculous gaps in the name of gender equality
46. Sad to say it's still a thing that's appalling
47. Queens of all colours and creeds y'all make strides
48. All those in favour...say I...
