Checkmate Lyrics - Jay Rock

[Verse 1:] 

They say a nigga can't rhyme no more, about crime no more 

About crack in my draws, and bucking that .44 

Because I was with Tech on a 44 city tour 

Came home for two weeks and then went back out for more 

(look) ain't shit changed, same grimey ass lame 

Same blood thirsty bitches seeking teeth through veins 

Started off small time, penny picture for jordans 

Spending them was a life, trying to make me a fortune 

Crap captions crack addicts black-matics 

So tragic, Sunday service four caskets 

Put black, red, or blue? which one are you? 

Set them in a box with Glocks, which one will shot? 

Its a war out here my nigga, lace up your boots 

Put your emotions in check, put your feelings on mute 

Because these bitches pussy will have you cum faster then speeding bullets 

Now your nutty for that slutty busting heads over pudding (don't do it) 

[Hook:] 

I'm just trying kick game to you 

I been there and done it, I know just what this game do ya 

Pushing up daises or 21 on the wake up 

So keep your mind on your money and get your cake up 

Pistol on my side, eyes on the prize 

Life is like chess one move at a time (survive my niggas) 

One move at a time (slow it down my niggas) 

One move at a time (no lie one move) 

[Verse 2:] 

Life behind bars where a dumb broad will get ya 

Now shes throwing her pussy a party, hardly send you pictures (damn) 

I pray for my friends and my enemies 

A nigga who envy you really love you but his energy

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

If you got some lose ends in your circle them but them off quick 

I guess them skeletons coming out closet 

Seen too many murders got a nigga feeling nauseous 

Phones tap like leaking faucets, so faulty 

A speech can be so costly, tread softly brother 

I know its so hard to shake them handcuffs 

You crawl before you walk, then you man up 

You don't stand for nothing, I guess you fall for anything that your eyes touch (my God) 

Realest nigga in it, naw, its no fausaud 

I do this in my sleep, no sleep, shit this my job (wake up!) 

[Hook] 

[Verse 3:] 

Look I'm play 'em left, got something to live for 

My daughters future secure, don't get your wig split boy 

(look) I be trying to rise above the evils of my past 

These streets pulling at my jeans, how long its going to last? 

Before I spaze on one of these rap niggas I hear yall now 

We expected it from that nigga, look! 

I think different now from a year ago 

A year ago, I was stocking these niggas videos, yall don't hear me though 

I thank Top Protect for getting that deal done 

They say true niggas just call it a miracle 

Aviator shades, boy I'm fresher then Morris Day 

T.D.E. the movement, concert packed like parades 

Play your cards right, I'm the jack of all trades 

Went from catching fades to catches broads on stage 

Life is what you make it, you're engineering, you are what you are 

And thats the man in the mirror, don't get no clearer 

[Hook]
