[Verse 1]
Oh I used to be unskilled and naïve
You deceived me for your own benefit
With a cunning trick more than anything
Now completely I realize everything

[Pre-Chorus]
Calculated, educated
I’m the monster you created
So you changed me, I’ve upgraded
I’ma tell ya
[Chorus]
I ain’t playing checkers, I play chess
Became the best and nothing less
Yeah, that’s what I do, I’m making moves
I never lose and that’s on you (Yeah, that’s on you)

[Verse 2]
I dominate the outcome of this game
It’s getting more and more interesting
Victory is mine, obviously, I
Know I’m not the same person I used to be

[Pre-Chorus]
Calculated, educated
I’m the monster you created
So you changed me, I’ve upgraded
I’ma tell ya

[Chorus]
I ain’t playing checkers, I play chess (I make ’em sweat)
Became the best and nothing less (I make a mess, I must confess)
Yeah, that’s what I do, I’m making moves (I bet ya knew)
I never lose and that’s on you (I never do and that’s on you)

[Bridge]

Because of you
I’ve become stronger
And I can go with the flow

[Verse 3]
Uh, better without you, better now
With or without you, ain’t no doubt
You know you gotta
You gotta show me your manners, bow down
Better without you, better now
Want me to lose, I don’t know how
You know you gotta
You gotta, you gotta, uh

[Refrain]
Let you shoot your shot
Now that’s on you
Shoulda done it better when you had it all together
What now?

[Chorus]
Now you’re really running out of moves
Oh, oh
Yeah, that’s what I do, I’m making moves (I bet ya knew)
I never lose and that’s on you (I never do and that’s on you)
I ain’t playin checkers, I play chess (I make ’em sweat)
Became the best and nothing less (I make a mess, I must confess)
Yeah that’s what I do I’m making moves (I bet ya knew)
I never lose and that’s on you (I never do and that’s on you)
