H0MAG2 - Checkers & Chess (LNW)

Late night writes got me hating in my mind
What's the true meaning of my life
You know the shit about addiction it's like a game
Are you willing to get up and walk away
Or are you just gonna end up coming back to it at the end of the day
I got some shit for them today nah nah hold up
I got some shit for them today, yeah ok
It's like checkers and chess
When you promised yourself
You would walk away
Put it to an end
And just runaway
You could waste a decade away
But then it'd be too late
It's confusing all the mood swings
But I got to stay focused no excuses
Hold hope the doors will unlock in the future
But the key is to be living in the present
I live like no other some of y'all resent it
You see I came so far and still got bad habits
You could say I studied hard because I'm tryna get passed it
You know I'm stressed but blessed
They still wanna put me to the test, crazy
Life is a mess but when I'm on you it's a wreck, damn it
I got to be better y'all saw me when I was less, family
I'll be damned if you block my blessings
I'll be damned if my mind ain't a weapon
I'll be damned if I ain't learn no lessons
I'll be damned if I keep on sweating
What I shouldn't be stressing
Got over shit that I shouldn't be regretting, hold up
Checkers and chess with addiction
Now why do I keep on slipping?
One minute I mean it, next one I'm tripping
It tricks me into keeping with it like a magician
Change aspects of your thinking
But stick with your demeanor
It's like checkers and chess
When you promised yourself
You would walk away
Put it to an end
And just runaway
You could waste a decade away
But then it'd be too late
I got some shit for them
I swear you don't live in the fame
It carry you around like dead weight
But how could I know? never got a taste
Heard it's lonely at the top life raising the stakes
A boy just tryna eat like a buffet
More withdrawals in my bank then deposits
More withdrawals in my brain stay positive
Told you shit was raw I thought it was obvious
Tried to give it my all but they were the opposite
Matter fact they were my oppositions
When they got to switching
Thought they'd kill for my position
Then I had to start listening to my instincts
Universe trying to communicate with me so I listen
Yeah I got to hear them out
If they don't hear them out
Yeah I got to see it out then
I got to show them out
They don't wanna hear me out
I can't let that door down
I can hear them knocking on my door now
I just know that I wanna make it on the Forbes now
Late night writes got me hating in my mind
What's the true meaning of my life
I'm on the same withdrawals how did I get here
I guess I got some type of shit that I got to get cleared
Late night writes got me hating on my mind
What's the true meaning of my life
Yeah it's in the past leave it in the rear
Yeah I'm on my ass the time is finally here
