INTRO"Nah, hold up, hold up. Ya'll don't know how to play chess, do you?"
"... So?"
"So?? So NOTHIN', man. Look, I'll teach ya'll if you wanna learn. Now look -- check it. It's simple, It's simple! You see dis? Dis the Kingpin, aight? And he da man. You get the other dude's king, you got the game. But he's tryin' to get your king too, so you gotta protect it. Now da king?? He move one space, any direction he damn choose, 'cause he's the king. But he ain't got no hustle. The rest of these motherfuckers on the team? They got his back. And they run so deep, he really ain't gotta do shit.
You see dis? Dis the Queen, she smart, she fierce. She move any direction she want as far as she want, and she is the go-get-shit-done piece. And dis over here is the Castle. It's like the stash. It move like this ... and like this."
"Dawg, but the stash don't move, man."
"Come on man. Yo, think: How many times we move the stash house this week? Right? And every time we move the stash, we gotta move a little muscle wit it, right? To protect it."
"True, true. You right. Alright -- what about them little bald headed bitches right there?"
"These right here? These are the pawns. They're like the soldiers. They move like this -- one space forward only. Except when they fight. And they like the front lines. They be out in the field."
"So how you get to be the king?"
"It ain't like that. See, the king stay the king. Aight?? Everything stay who he is. Except for the pawns. Now if a pawn make it all the way to the other dude's side? He get to be Queen. And like I said, the Queen ain't no bitch. She got all the moves."
"Aight. So. If I make it to the other end, I win."
"If you catch the other dude's king and TRAP it, then you win."
"Aight, but if I make it to the other end, then I'm top dog."
"Nah yo -- it ain't like that. Pawns, man? In the game? They get capped quick. They be out the game early."
"Unless they some smart ass pawns."
Start with nothing.
Play for everything.
