Oh, I used to be unskilled and naive
You deceived me for your own benefit
With a cunning trick more than anything
Now completely I realize everything

Calculated, educated
I'm the monster you created
So you changed me, I've upgraded
I'ma tell ya

I ain't playin checkers, I play chess (I make 'em sweat)
Became the best (I make a mess) and nothing less (I must confess)
Yeah, that's what I do, I'm making moves (l bet ya knew)
I never lose (I never do), and that's on you (and that's on you)
Because of you, I've become stronger
And I can go with the flow

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

Let you shoot your shot
Now that's on you
Shoulda done it better
When you had it all together, what now?

Now you're really running out of moves
Ha-ha
Yeah, that's what I do, I'm making moves (l bet ya knew)
I never lose (I never do), and that's on you (and that's on you)
