Checkmate - Original Lyrics by Another Poet

There have been times in life when we’ve all faced a checkmate...

Its never been too hard to relate...

So let me spit a bit of strategy to dissipate some fallacies..

Is it an abnormality to refuse to accept the brutality?

Put on my spectacles sift thru the sullied mantra of a sorry mainstream message desperate to get a glimpse of a new reality.

Saw the professor giving lectures while the light was shining bright both stringing their words together cleverly crafting their makeshift prophecies...

Saw the fate of human beings forced to compete in the 9-5 rat race or gain a competence in botany itll take a couple choice steps to avoid the monotony and evade the new world lobotomy which could be but aint gotta be what do you think about the role of luck in life?

I'll play that scarface like Tony Montana I aint going out without a fight.

If I want it I get it and on a positive mission without a moment of regret aint that a breath of fresh air why would I point these things out if I didn’t care?

But always got a sec to examine one of lifes great lessons...

Flashback, a pistol to my head and a chance to be left for dead… wow… guess that’s what we get for second guessin our own intuition.

Neglected a rule of the game designed to keep a playa consistent.

If it’s a lyrical competition I'll win the middle weight division with the strength and determination of a Mike Bisping.

Comparing winners to losers abstainers to boozers its your attitude that chooses just exactly what to do with your life.

Ill second Emerson in what he said that strong men don’t believe in luck they believe in cause and effect..

In regard to luck it was Jefferson that said ‘the harder I work the more that I have of it.’

And I’ll add to that… what you put in is what you get out of it…
