Checkmate
[Intro: Wiley]
Eskiboy
And you know what
I remember my dad told me life's like a game of chess
And you must think first before you move
Oi London (London)
If you're a bad boy like me
Eventually, after all the girls, cars, all the street fame
All the beef
Getting arrested
You find yourself in check (Check)
And then you keep going even harder (Harder)
Until you get into checkmate (Check)
Prawns, horses, bishops, castles, kings, queens
Let's go
[Chorus: Wiley]
This is why you're in checkmate
Look around you, don't live nowhere
You spend your dough, you're in checkmate
Too much girls, on the case be greedy
Watch you'll end up in checkmate
Can't move whether you're a king or a queen
I guess your life is in checkmate
Guess your life is in checkmate
Here's why you're in checkmate
[Verse 1: Wiley]
I can't move, got something to lose, but nothing to prove
Oh wait, I just lost what
I had to lose
I was in check, now I'm in checkmate fusing
Back to my mums yard
2-2's get a call on the phone, I'm like what more can I do
On top of that, now you've got a yout
Fix up for the yout
You're a name brand, you can make loot
[Bridge: Wiley]
Don't watch face, you get me
You can get out of this one
You learn these lessons from before rudeboy
Just keep looking for the way out
[Chorus: Wiley]
This is why you're in checkmate
Look around you, don't live nowhere
You spend your dough, you're in checkmate
Too much girls, on the case be greedy
Watch you'll end up in checkmate
Can't move whether you're a king or a queen
I guess your life is in checkmate
Guess your life is in checkmate
Here's why you're in checkmate
[Verse 2: Wiley]
It's like anywhere I go, trouble follows
Swing too often
Got chased by 50 goons, but I lost 'em
I'm an older goon, lucky I never shot them
Turns out never wanted kids like I was
But my 54 sharks wanna hot them
I was getting a haircut in Hoxton
Thought that I clocked 'em, bitch, often
[Bridge: Wiley]
But you know what as an older
I advise all the youngers to avoid beef
Listen to me or don't listen to me
It's your choice
[Chorus: Wiley]
This is why you're in checkmate
Look around you, don't live nowhere
You spend your dough, you're in checkmate
Too much girls, on the case be greedy
Watch you'll end up in checkmate
Can't move whether you're a king or queen
I guess your life is in checkmate
Guess your life is in checkmate
Here's why you're in checkmate
[Verse 3: Frisco]
'Cause when shit hits the fan you can't run away and you can't escape
I got shot so it's beef on the road, now it's peak on the road
I got a fully grown seven year old on the road
So I stay strapped and know myself on the road
My life's in checkmate, so I'm off the road
'Cause when it gets late
It gets bait
[Bridge: Frisco]
Trust me fam
It's best you just hold it down G
Take time man
It's not even long out 'ere
[Chorus: Wiley]
This is why you're in checkmate
Look around you, don't live nowhere
You spend your dough, you're in checkmate
Too much girls, on the case be greedy
Watch you'll end up in checkmate
Can't move whether you're a king or queen
I guess your life is in checkmate
Guess your life is in checkmate
Here's why you're in checkmate
This is why you're in checkmate
Look around you, don't live nowhere
You spend your dough, you're in checkmate
Too much girls, on the case be greedy
Watch you'll end up in checkmate
Can't move whether you're a king or queen
I guess your life is in checkmate
Guess your life is in checkmate
Here's why you're in checkmate
[Outro: Wiley]
You get me
'Nuff man don't even know about being in checkmate
But you know what, life is a hard thing, you get me
And we refer life to chess
Certain time
Hold tight Flowdan, hold tight my dad, hold tight Frisco
Eskiboy
2006
Hold tight my daughter
We're doing this ting
Shut your mouth
