Lyrics:

Couple grand in a weekend,
at the tourney I defeat them,
and this feat, I’m repeating to the beat,
so they freaking,

Got that off board talent
Cause my rhymes aint failin’
got that on board talent,
cause your weaknesses I’m scalin,

I can play chess blind,
I’m a talent undefined,
Every time I bust a rhyme,
I see the board in my mind,

I’ll rhyme your mind,
Through mate in nine,
That you won’t find,
better luck next time,

6 hour game,
In a strategic bind,
I will grind out a win,
With a tactic I find,

50 board setup,
I’ll play white,
you’re gonna be fed up,
When I win, I’ll take delight,

Bughouse simul,
3 min game,
When I checkmate you it’s final,
Double handshake, I’m insane

7 move mate.
double piece sac,
you won’t be feeling great,
and I won’t cut you some slack,

Memphis, Tennessee,
This kid knew I was a thinker,
I played Bishop h3,
And he called me, “big stinker,”

Middle school fun,
Four move mate,
Did it round one,
Did it round eight,

I do it all day,
Checkmating those new fish,
Then I go, “oy vey,”
You play like such a doofus,

Makin’ that green,
At fourteen,
State champ team,
At fifteen,

How I did,
It was unseen,
I was a nice kid,
But I’m this mean,

Chorus [2x]:

I’m a chess masta rapper,
Got a dapper ass swagger,
I’ll play you with ten seconds,
And I’m still not the flagger,

I made money off a hustla,
Somebody from Russia,
He got pissed at me,
It’s not funny when I crush ya,

Couple grand in a weekend,
at the tourney I defeat them,
and this feat, I’m repeating to the beat,
so they freaking,

Got that off board talent
Cause my rhymes aint failin’
got that on board talent,
cause your weaknesses I’m scalin,

I can play chess blind,
I’m a talent undefined,
Every time I bust a rhyme,
I see the board in my mind,

I’ll rhyme your mind,
Through mate in nine,
That you won’t find,
better luck next time,

Other chess players cannot teach,
If they could they would they tried,
I make chess easy as a peach,
With “The Real Beginner’s Guide.”

Other rappers can’t play chess,
They don’t know Philidor,
I’m the best, back for more,
Lil’ Wayne, e4
