“Chess” is my 84th official release and my 137th track published. This is music about society that is supposed to be relatable to the average American. With that, although I’m atheist I like the story of Jesus and draw upon him for inspiration.
The beat was made by Ryinibeats.com. The song was produced by KeyAno and the cover art is a royalty free image.
I talk about this blog post and other updates in this last Sunday update (just below) or Follow Lyceum Recordz on YouTube for more.
Lyrics:
Self-made, self sold, sell this, selfish
Gotta look out for myself if I’m to help you with it
They’re playing checkers
I’m playing chess
I showed the system caste
By documenting my path
Women’s healthcare is a right
They should have the right to choose
Do what you need to
Cuz abortion rules
We’re overpopulated
Over stimulated
There’s a homeless state
Though the homes are vacant
Guess more money for the rich
The poor get prison
The system of injustice is profit-driven
Gaia’s got me prophetic
Like I write for the Simpsons
Can you feel the intuition
On the mic with rhythm
I defend prostitutes and defy social grievance
Because I’m trying to be more like Jesus
I could teach you to fish
Strengthen your grip
Cast the net that you mend
While Make’n a friend
Self-made, self sold, sell this, selfish
Gotta look out for myself if I’m to help you with it
They’re playing checkers
I’m playing chess
I showed the system caste
By documenting my path
Self-made, self sold, sell this, selfish
Gotta look out for myself if I’m to help you with it
They’re playing checkers
I’m playing chess
I showed the system caste
By documenting my path
Self-made, self sold, sell this, selfish
Gotta look out for myself if I’m to help you with it
They’re playing checkers
I’m playing chess
I showed the system caste
By documenting my path
You’re so smart, you’re so smooth
Show me how to score with you
Cuz I treat her like the coach
Put me in I’ll guard the post
Give you love to hold
Win your heart of gold
Let the Story unfold
Even if you write to a void
Make it cold, and break the code
Tell the tale and use your voice
Make the call and embrace the poor
Cuz
The economics is rigged
They took what you get
Exploit labor with big business
And charge kids the debt
Due to corporate rule
It’s an illusion to choose
While You can’t afford school
A house, or food
I defend prostitutes and defy societal grievance
Because I’m trying to be more like Jesus
I could teach you to fish
Strengthen your grip
On the net that you mend
While Make’n a friend
Self made, self sold, sell this, selfish
Gotta look out for myself if I’m to help you with it
They’re playing checkers
I’m playing chess
I showed the system caste
By documenting my path
Self made, self sold, sell this, selfish
Gotta look out for myself if I’m to help you with it
They’re playing checkers
I’m playing chess
I showed the system caste
By documenting my path
