Gambit of a king

Hook (Chorus)

I move quiet, like a king in the night, yeah

Pawns fall, gotta shine in the fight, yeah

Made my moves, play the board, take my life, yeah

Checkmate on my heart, but I still rise, yeah

Verse 1

Board full of pieces, life full of choices

They whisper like sirens, I hear a hundred voices

Pawn out front, I push through the noises

Gave my trust to the wrong ones, now I'm makin' new loyalties

Bishop slide diagonal through the pain I navigate

Knight jump over snakes, they lurk, they imitate

Rook crash through blocks, break chains off my fate

King stuck in corners, but I move before it's too late

Pre-Hook

Every corner got eyes, every move got stakes

Lost some faces, lost some nights, still I raise the stakes

Sacrifice a piece, learn a lesson for the take

Gotta play cold, keep my head, never break

Hook (Chorus)

I move quiet, like a king in the night, yeah

Pawns fall, gotta shine in the fight, yeah

Made my moves, play the board, take my life, yeah

Checkmate on my heart, but I still rise, yeah

Verse 2

Gambit on my sleeve, I risk for the better days

They count my losses loud, I count blessings anyway

Queen move like loyalty, protect what I love

But I learned trust get stolen when the pressure come above

Enemies set traps, they smile like they family

I see through the smoke, clear mind like calamity

Endgame on my mind, gotta secure the legacy

Stack my wins, stack my fam—this my pedigree

Bridge (Melodic/Rapped)

Clock tick, my heart tick, time pressure got me steady

One wrong move, they hop on the chance, try to bury

But I study every line, map the fear, get ready

Life chess — I breathe slow, hands never tremble

Verse 3

I been traded like a pawn in a night of drought

Came back kinged from the struggle, I had doubts

Now my pieces surround me—loyal ones, not clout

We play for survival, we don't play for the crowd

Check on my shoulder, lessons wrote in my scars

Board lit by streetlights, heaven watchin' stars

Every move calculated, every love got guards

Play the game, win the soul — that's the part

Hook (Chorus)

I move quiet, like a king in the night, yeah

Pawns fall, gotta shine in the fight, yeah

Made my moves, play the board, take my life, yeah

Checkmate on my heart, but I still rise, yeah

Outro (Soft ad-lib)

Gambit of a king, yeah—move steady, move right

They want to see me fold, but I'm playin' for life

Checkmate, but I keep breathin'—keep fightin' the night

Porque music

See you when I see you
