Jay Rock - Checkmate lyrics

[Verse 1] They say a n***a 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 sh** changed, same grimey a** lame Same blood thirsty b**hes seeking teeth through veins Started off small time, penny pinching for jordans Spinnin the wheels of life, trying to make me a fortune Crack capsule, 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 n***a, lace up your boots Put your emotions in check, put your feelings on mute Because these b**hes p**y will have you cum faster then speeding bullets Now your nutty for that s*utty 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 n***as) One move at a time (slow it down my n***as) 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 p**y a party, hardly send you pictures (damn) I pray for my friends and my enemies A n***a who envy you really love you but his energy Surrounded by negativity, vividly hes lost 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 n***a 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 n***a in it, naw, its no facade I do this in my sleep, no sleep, sh** 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 spaz on one of these rap n***as I hear yall now We expected it from that n***a, look! I think different now from a year ago A year ago, I was stocking these n***as videos, yall don't hear me though I thank Top Protect for getting that deal done They say true n***as 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]
