Checkmate Groove

[Verse] Once upon a board, kid sharp with the moves, Got the bishops and the knights, slick with the grooves. Studied Fischer’s tactics, morphed into a beast, Made the queen sweat, kid never on a leash. [Verse 2] Lunchtime break, school cafeteria zone, Ignored the playground, head to the checkered throne. Pawns march forward, ready for the stack, Opponent makes a move, ready for the double back. [Chorus] Checkmate groove, got the game in his veins, Never afraid, pressure built like cranes. Moves so slick, chessboard superstar, Mind on fire, brain brighter than a quasar. [Verse 3] Saturday tourney, rookies wanna compete, But the kid's a legend, never tasting defeat. Psychological chess, like Hannibal’s feast, Calculated, patient, king a cunning beast. [Bridge] Teachers and classmates cheer with a roar, Watch him strategize, moves clean and pure. Silent confidence, never known to boast, King’s in check, opponents turn to toast. [Verse 4] Chess piece ballet, elegant and precise, In the heat of the game, cold as ice. Opponent's sweating, kid’s gripping the reigns, Queen’s cornered, captured, breaking the chains.
