Pawn to F8
-Josiah Vermont


Every time you go out with your friends
feel like I’m losing you
They whisper you’re a pawn in my game
and I’m using you
But what happens to a pawn when it reaches F8?
I wanna build on Gibraltar
Wasn’t trying to make you wait

Swimming in pond water got you
talking bout your Ex’s
This one leased a Porsche and that one
bought his girl a Lexus
His side on Instagram posted
a big house in Texas
and all he did for you back then was
take you out for breakfast

Lurker tags along just to
emulate your style
She wants to take you clubbing
Get you dissatisfied
Tell you find somebody up
She’s been studying you awhile
and knows some other guy who’s been
infected by your smile

I put in groundwork, hold the course
don’t waste my bread on gold and ice
Refocus on the kids
show them what it means to sacrifice
I might soon relocate.. move away
all on my own
Leave dead weight behind me
Elevate with a new home

Cuz every time you go out with your friends
feel like I’m losing you
Theres a change in your attitude
and it seems like they’re using you
Their jealousy is still growing
I haven’t meant to make you wait
But what happens to a pawn
when it reaches F8?
