Playing Chess in the Dark

**Acapella**

Difference between you and i
is that i was forced crime or no getting away
while you choose a life of crime
and have a get-a-way
mixtape with no engineering tools
degree in performing arts, without school
spraypaint proverbs behind a foreclosed
stare at the stove your mom used to overdose
powered by my complection
only spit infection
cats claim where they're reppin'
but im the only one addressing
meditate with ink and a feather
one candle stick
trap genre get caught up in the mix
of high demands with plenty of spliffs
make my own path like an EF5
you'll get a credit at the end of CSI
hoodie up, not for own security
pass the point of no return
don't worry, you'll will hear from me
second coming
brought up to be a quick thinker
ill sit you down, call you my son
no need for jerry springer!
position myself to draw you in like the mona lisa
bait on the line,
like im just trying to feed ya
tetris in my head
i already know what your dishin' out
verbally smack you around
cold facts out of my mouth
nine months later you'll be kicking trying to get out
once you see the light,
ill cut the umbilical
doesn't mean i won't stop feeding
all i got is nutrients
all that keeps one breathing
listen to the real
feel it in braille
listen to the wind, im controlling the sail
are you scared of the distance ahead,
or the further from shore?
from the time you leave that stoop
you'll always dream something more
being on top only means the stakes go higher
invest yourself something worth a trial
don't sell yourself short by selling your soul
closed casket cause you had to obey and pay the toll

Difference between you and i
is that i hide my emotions
i don't bluff them using fiction
like having an abortion from a hand using lotion
you want to let out?
don't look away from my eyes
slurring your words cause your pinning a lie
i'll get in your head and shape it out like a newborn
keep you inside the loop like DC to Baltimore
i'll slit your eyelids vertically so you don't blink
than grab you by the lungs
USB, i'm intouch with the full sync
messin' with me is like hunting bald eagle
against my freedom of speech,
don't follow the times, im extinct
i know what's coming to something blooming
as i watch from a dead tree
leapin' through life as long as you're not the one
getting shot and,
add on another day after the 28th time
like it won't get forgotten
even something that blooms,
vision of the world on shrooms
ends up rotten unless you have a lucid dream
flow fluently with the mainstream
blow out the candles on all the cake
rappers make seem an easy task
rap it up like that's all it takes to stop the bleed
sad part is, this song will go unknown
don't feed into hard work doesn't show
i can go on for days, but i'll be an O.G. and close my bars
my hoodie will go down
once you're on dancing with the stars
