Chess

You want to play with fools?
If so you’ve chosen the wrong game
No fools play here
No dummies, no retards, no idiots
This is a game of genius

It doesn’t anger me that you try outsmart me
It’s the thought process behind it
The fact that you even thought you could
You thought you could jump like checkers
You thought I was really that easy

I’ve always been too smart to be stupid
I pay attention when it’s free
I see what has been seen and watch it twice
Why not acknowledge the little things
There are so many of them? Pawn

People try to get over all the time
It’s the make up of our world
Whoever has the most kings wins the game
That is the most common mistake with small minds
You only have the upper hand when it is given to you

I watched you, and saw what you were trying to do
I set up my trap, and watched you walk in
You only thought you were getting over
You only thought you could out smart me
I could shut it down at any moment just to see your face

I already know your next move
My mind told me before you showed me
I trust that over anything
No lie will be that
No knight can cover that

It’s only a game when you decide to play it
Play wisely or don’t play at all
Once again you’ve failed to learn the lesson
Sometimes you have to lose the fight
If you’re trying to win the war

CHECKMATE!
