I’ve been played twice
Not like a sport or a video game
More like a game of chess
Against a champion
In the game of chess
Players typically start
With a pawn
I start with the knight
But I am a pawn
Not black or white
But painted with
Colours you painted
Win or loose
It’s always a game
One secret about pawns
Once they’ve been played
Far enough
They can become
Any piece
Play me five times
And I’ll become a knight
A rook or even a bishop
Kings and queens
Are overrated
