Chess Song Lyrics

I think I'm playing chess, I see a king I'm at his neck
I'm three steps ahead at every move, now that's a check, yes
They wanna know my secret, it's because I never slept
All my nightmares are me at 40, life's a wreck

See my dad, he in debt and my mom, she upset
That's way back when 408 on Seminole was the address
I saw things, I shouldn't have, though I love the fam to death
Way back then, it was a mess, we was living check to check

Now my shirts are getting pressed, your girl see me, she impressed
And my fans are quite obsessed, I owe 'em everything, I'm blessed
Made a living, making art and aiming closely at they neck
