CHESS>CHECKrr
SEBii Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah, you playin' checkers, and we—
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, you playin' checkers, and we play—
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Yeah, you playin' checkers and we playin' chess
Yeah, you might be better, but you know I'm the best
If they put me on a tier list, I would be on S
And I be the realest 'cause I'm so honest, honest

Bands, yeah, I want it
Damn, it's ironic 'cause I'm counting blue
So fast, like it's Sonic
They like "Hey, you, why are you so accomplished?"
They wanna be you, they wanna be your accomplice
That's why I act so pompous 'cause I know that they want it
Oh whoah, oh whoah, oh whoah
Shwoah, woah

She wanna flirt with me on Instagram but I don't wanna do that
All she care about is Instagram comments, I don't know if I wanna care about that
All she care about is analytics, damn
It made me care about the analytics too
Yeah she doesn't really care about her fans
That's something that I never could do
But when it comes to counting all my bands
That's something that I'm always gonna do
I don't really need no medicine
But I'm so sick, I be like the flu
Yeah she wanna play like the band
I guess I turned her to a fan
She say she really wanna hold my hand
I be so high I don't really know where to land

Oh
Yeah, you playin' checkers, and we—
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Yeah, you playin' checkers, and we play—
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah

Yeah, you playin' checkers and we playin' chess
Yeah, you might be better, but you know I'm the best
If they put me on a tier list, I would be on S
And I be the realest 'cause I'm so honest, honest

Bands, yeah, I want it
Damn, it's ironic 'cause I'm counting blue
So fast, like it's Sonic
They like "Hey, you, why are you so accomplished?"
They wanna be you, wanna be your accomplice
That's why I act so pompous 'cause I know that they want it




Oh whoah, oh whoah
Shwoah, woah
