[Verse] Midnight glow, city cold, we gather round the stoop Kings and queens, moves so bold, no jokers in this group Eyes locked tight, stakes high, silence breaks the night Every pawn's a fighter born, ready for the fight [Pre-Chorus] Clock’s ticking down, pressure’s on, I’m owning this throne No fear, just skill, watch me take full control [Chorus] Checkmate, no escape, hear the battle cry Under streetlights, we ignite, watch the old heads vibe Every move, make ’em prove, who’s the real king’s heir Late-night chess on the stoop, we own the air [Verse] Shadowed lines, whispered minds, tales from days gone by Kings in frost, moves embossed, legends never die Queen’s attack, my comeback, strategy refined Every game, stake my claim, victory defined [Pre-Chorus] Clock’s ticking down, pressure’s on, I’m owning this throne No fear, just skill, watch me take full control [Chorus] Checkmate, no escape, hear the battle cry Under streetlights, we ignite, watch the old heads vibe Every move, make ’em prove, who’s the real king’s heir Late-night chess on the stoop, we own the air [Bridge] No backing down, no second chance In this game, I make them dance Silent wars, but loud respects I’m the storm they won’t forget [Chorus] Checkmate, no escape, hear the battle cry Under streetlights, we ignite, watch the old heads vibe Every move, make ’em prove, who’s the real king’s heir Late-night chess on the stoop, we own the air [Outro] Owning the night, owning the fight Stoop legends rise in the city light Checkmate, checkmate, We own the air.
