Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ferris showed up with that confident grin,
Talkin’ big game, said he’d always win.
He moved his knight like a boss in distress,
But Mathias was quiet—he plays silent chess.

[Chorus]
Checkmate, bubba, the king’s goin’ down,
You danced ‘round the board, now you wear the crown… of clown.
Tried to castle, but you built a house of mess,
Mathias dropped the hammer, now Ferris is stressed.

[Verse 2]
“Bubba, you sure?” he said with a smirk,
“You’re three moves from doom, better pray it’s a quirk.”
Ferris leaned in, tried a fancy lil’ fork,
But Mathias was colder than a spork in New York.

[Chorus]
Checkmate, bubba, you’ve run outta time,
Your queen’s takin’ naps and your rook’s outta line.
Tried to flex but got finessed under stress,
Now you’re eatin’ humble pie at the table of chess.

[Bridge]
He said, “Next time, bubba, I’ll bring the heat,”
Mathias just laughed, didn’t skip a beat.
“Next time’s fine, but today’s a wrap—
Go ahead and resign, and fetch my cap.”

[Outro]
So Ferris took the L with a grin and a shrug,
Still callin’ folks “bubba” and handin’ out hugs.
But deep in his soul, he’ll never forget—
That one brutal match… where he met his checkmate.
