Asheru - One Big Chess Game lyrics

[VERSE 1 Adisa The Bishop] You know the beat kick, cuts crisp, rhymes redix I've only begun and you already want the remix Who want it with the south bay shogun- no one Get respect like I stay fully armed but I got no gun You want it come get it, you got it then spit it or forfeit it Hated when I saw that Zimmerman was acquitted Let the beats play as i slay dragons from Sicily My Yugoslav attack broke their back took Italy Feel like Hannibal breaking a cannibals mandible You confused cause u stay in the matrix understandable No code is uncrackable, plan unmappable, man untappable- king is untrappable Gotta live the game and train to maintain Body soul and brain till you rise in the next plane Even in d**h I'll live on like Trayvon Saw the ghost of oscar grant man waiting by the platform [Hook Rob Flow] No matter what the name, we're all the same Pieces in one big chess game [VERSE 2 Rahman Jamaal] If you dont understand supremacy, understand that enemies Want you think that it's not part of your identity No matter the creed human greed sets in the peasantry Presently as much as the 2012 presidency For different reasons, we tryna survive They take pride over people's lives so businesses thrive But once the businesses lie is where the differences collide They got us slavin again, so their interest stays alive And now there's dealers that rap So everyone feels entitled to getting paid without ever giving anything back You can't knock the hustle unless the hustle is wack Like setting out for the fast buck, selling mamas the crack When those who actually rap are tellin mamas the facts That this M.O.B. swagger is setting all of us back Hip Hop was never about k**ing blacks But most are impacted with that belief and you are what you attract... So, if these words don't make cents at first I've just been playing on a bigger chess board since birth To capture that piece on earth, I know what's goin on While you're thrown, getting known as a pawn in this code of arms [Hook Rob Flow] No matter what the name, we're all the same Pieces in one big chess game [Verse Asheru] I tell my kids all the time to look with a third eye Hear with a third ear The intentionally unclear Will only confuse If you don't use your tools To navigate the terrain They out to control your brain And you must protect it Defend it with your life So at the end of your life You will be resurrected Thru thoughts and seeds that were planted By your deeds Effectively separating your wants from your needs In these days and times It's so sad to see The breakdown of the young black man is a tragedy Either thugging, pimping, or hoeing Wearing skirts at their shows and You surely won't last long with no strategy Actually it ain't too late You can build on it gradually Whatever you do the most You do the best and magically You know when the hard work pays off? It has to be When you clock your 10,000 hours for mastery [Hook]
