You fight and you strive For this prize But it comes At the highest price You will Have to sacrifice For a slice Of paradise (Cuz it) Won't come easy You won't get handed it You will have to pay Asking myself Do you think you can stand it? The hustle is the job Are you a good candidate? I'd give it all up for this It's the gambit I hope, you win, the game When you do I hope, you can, stand to Live, with what, you lose What, will, you choose? Three more moves And then the haters lose But this song was One of the three So I'm sayin so-long to you Cuz now it's down to two Two moves to victory You can keep on, dicking me Around I'm bout to be making history I'm blistery From all this movin' around That I do It must be gettin to you, too So go on, you can sit and stew Sit back and play the kazoo You can continue Giving me a thumbs down Cuz I won't Dumb my shit down You can moan groan And beat the ground Check the board Round and round You can just delay Wait and, calculate Nay-say, you can frown Til you're blue in the head Down To your feet There's really no need, cuz You can't hide from defeat You can sit there Pulling out your hair Go ahead And hesitate, insinuate And speculate It's ok, I got the time to waste You can do, what you choose You played into my moves There's nothing you can do You fell into, my gambit I wrecked you Across the spectrum On every shade of the gamut Damnit This ain't an accident I planned it I won't act innocent That trendin' shit?
