I Am Dominant


I've got an ambition 

When the gaurds all push me into submission

I plan my prison break

Dream up a great escape

 

And we are all just playing a game of chess

Trade your knight for my bishop

You'll never get me in check

Because I'd rather play until stalemate

Than forfeit and give you what you want

 

It's all about the right motions

You have to swing at the right time

And if you can't hit me with all your might

This game will be easier than I thought

 

All this thought

planning ten steps ahead

It will haunt you in bed;

If I can win this fight

the tables will all be turned

Even if I'm out of sight

You better keep me on your mind
