Gambit

A gambit (from ancient Italian gambetto, meaning "to trip") is a chess opening in which a player sacrifices material with the aim of achieving a subsequent positional advantage. The word "gambit" is also sometimes used to describe similar tactics used by politicians or business people in a struggle with rivals in their respective fields, for example "The early election was a risky gambit by Theresa May". more »

Freddy Finger rest in peace 

It's the rapper that y'all ignored 
Mind's eye on the prize and back to the drawing board 
The type to bore a hole into your floor and top it 
With a carpeted tarp and ask you exactly who you falling for 
Went from drawing swords to drawing swords 
Starting wars over notions emotion provoked tallying score 
Rallying stallion troops and let the galleons soar 
'Cause when it comes to enemies and friends it seems that less is more 
Atop the crest of the crescent shore 
Reflectively I stop to question what I'm destined for 
At best my honorable guesses are the recipe 
For mixing disappointment with bitterness, sip it, rest in peace 
Exceptionally unexceptional 
They tell me truly I'm unique but yet I'm skeptical 
They say that life's an essay but never explained the thesis 
So now I walk the line between atheist and a theist 
Believe it, the odds are never even 
Even when they seem to be, begin the cycle then repeat it 
The high strung night bum wallowing in a Prius 
Trying to follow Jesus through the bottle that he sleeps with 
Nightmares turn into perfectly recurring dreams 
As every vice that eases his mind becomes diseases 
Are we even alive? Will we find out what it means
To know how cold it is in Heaven the moment when Hell freezes? 
For every time that I'd awoke to the sirens 
Provoked through the violence I'd have wished I'd broken the silence 
Supposedly I should've known although I'm supplied with 
Only a tiny glimpse of now through a vision that's hind-sighted 
Blindsided by the solely divided 
Hoping that I would go and die, although I won't kid, I've tried it
And when it's time to go I guess I won't really like it 
But I can rest easy knowing that no one did it like I did 

As the days turn to night-time 
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline 
Until there's nothing left and I'm out of my right mind 
I'ma fight, let the light shine, shine 
When the days turn night-time 
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline
Until there's nothing left I'm out of my right mind 
And I'ma fight, let the light shine 

I ain't gon' waste time saying I ain't got time to waste 
I can taste the victory swimming swiftly as tidal waves 
'Till my entire empire can finally find its place
And light up like a campfire shining bright as the light of day
By the way, it's hard to work when it's time to play 
But it never mattered, Jack's a boring bastard either way
I've been in the same place lying wide awake 
My entire life so don't mind it if I ain't tryna stay 
Stagnation is the greatest way to drag patience 
Kicking and pacing complacently back to your dad's basement 
After the fact when you're mad at the path taken 
You could pave the way for change to take place or act shaken 
In the past I was one who preferred the latter
Going under like f*ck laughter, making my luck badder 
Stuck in the one assumption that nothing in life matters
Sick of chatter, thinking that my resistance might shatter 
Ambivalent towards the imminent course of men 
These porcelain dolls have been forcing us all into wars again 
Distorted causes warped into folly tore the skin 
Born into abhorrence and horror herded by hoards of them 
Horse drawn hearses, long gone purses 
Goods lifted by crooks suffering Norse god curses 
Are all I ever saw upon the Earth's long surface 
It hurts when you come to terms with having no broad purpose 
It's perfect, picture me sitting in church 
And worshipping fifty different versions of a single superlative thing 
With a fervent new urge to sing and ringing determined 
Think in turn that if I sink and burn the ship will resurface 
But when I fill the urn I'll be beginning to learn 
That there isn't a return and that my birth certificate's worthless 
Indifferent to the furthest extent and a nervous surplus 
Flipping scripts to pictures, leave a thousand listeners wordless 

As the days turn to night-time 
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline 
Until there's nothing left and I'm out of my right mind 
I'ma fight, let the light shine, shine 
When the days turn night-time 
I write rhymes quite fine like my lifeline 
Until there's nothing left I'm out of my right mind 
And I'ma fight, let the light shine, shine 
So I don't waste time, I make time 
Never wait to find my place, no I'ma take mine 
Keeping the pace up, I'm braced to erase the fake lines 
Make a new page, stage the plays and escape quiet 
So I don't buy time, I find time 
Laying my rhymes primetime 'till it's my time 
The road is long and although I'm knowing it might wind 
I'ma fight, let the light shine
