Chess Game Of Life Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]
I got a story about society
and its make up
Pieces to the puzzle that create us
Metaphor [F]for chess games we play
Stresses we face, players in this game
Every day, life is like [Am]a chess game
And we all play positions
Fighting for what's ours,
aiming at a mission
Many com[F]plexities of life,
know your role in team wins
Execute the team wins,
in the grand scheme of things
On [Am]the front line is
DePaul, a middle class pawn
First line of defense in this killer ass war
[F]Blood, sweat and tears,
but they treatin' his ass cool
They kill his ass off if his
thinking's a tad strong
It's [Am]ill -advised for
him to develop a backbone
Fact only, look what happened to
Malcolm
Nation[F]s built off the backs of
the native of black pawns
Peace or the pies, all we ask for
[Am]I play my enemies like a game of chess
I [F]play my enemies [Am]like
a game [F]of chess
From [Am]offense to defense,
recreation to sport
Comes the next chess piece,
better known as the horse
Trans[F]port for law enforcement
and the soldiers of war
And for the knight in shining
armor holding the sword
Motto [Am]is ride or die,
sprint to the crack of a whip
And the scabs on his skin reminder
of what happened to him
Whether [F]dark or pale, face every move is
L -shaped
Win or lose, his life is in a stalemate
[Am]I got a story about society
and it's make -up
Pieces to the puzzle that create us
Metaphor [F]for chess games we play
Stresses [Am]we face, pl[F]ayers in this game
Every day, life is like [Am]a chess game
And we all play positions
Fighting for what's ours,
aiming at a mission
Many [F]complexities in life,
know your role in team wins
Execute the team wins,
in the grand scheme [Am]of things
They say that home is
where the heart is
They also say it's not who strikes first
Look [F]at the rook,
one of the few that goes [Am]the farthest
[F]North, south, east, west,
hitting the most targets
[Am]Castle for royalty, my humble abode
My mansion, I show my loyalty,
this come to be home
A [F]shack for some,
but for many a safe zone
In this game of chess,
the aim of the game is to take [Am]yours
I play my enemies like a game [F]of chess
I play my enemies like
a game of chess
That shifty [Am]character is
Bishop, with excellent mobility and switcher
A real strong acquisition and picker,
[F]that goes to great lengths and great distance
[Am]For instance, [F]watch the way he spots
his prey from a distance
[Am]Predator that's ready for
the strike at long range
A sniper with a rifle with a gifted long aim
Di[F]agonal direction is
his versatile move[Am]ment
Ser[F]vice with a smile while he's shooting
[Am]The next chess piece is a symbol of
the man of the house
Represents stability, presence,
command and no doubt
[F]King with the crown,
father figure on the mound
Protector and provider but
he's gotta stick around
Keep [Am]his family in check but other
players wanna check him
Strong leadership when he's equipped
to be source of direction
Even [F]though movement is limited
to one step at a time
His arm reach is unlimited
when we step by [Am]the line
I play my enemies like a game of chess
[F]I play my e[Am]n emi[F]es like
a game of chess
The most [Am]powerful of all pieces
for sure and it's known
Nurturer of offspring,
cornerstone of the home
The [F]symbol of modern women,
independent and so intelligent
Leaders in the community with a gift,
find a [Am]bridge of ridiculous gaps
In the name of gender equality, sad to say,
it's still a thing that's appalling
[F]Queens of all colors and creeds,
y make strides
All those in favor say aye
[Am]I got a story about society
and its makeup
Pieces to the puzzle that create us
Metaphor for [F]chess games we play
Stresses we face, planes in this game
Every day, life is like [Am]a chess game
And we all play positions, fighting for what's ours,
aiming at a mission
Many com[F]plexities in life,
know your role in team wins
Execute the team wins,

[Outro 1]
