YoYo & Chess from Legacy4Humanity by Lily Amis feat. Thir13een

I'm an independent lyricist passionate about turning real-life struggles into meaningful music. My songs aim to raise awareness about delicate and often silenced topics — from the refugee crisis to social injustice. Every stream, download, and purchase helps me continue creating music with purpose. If my words move you, you're already part of the message. Thank you for listening — and for supporting music that speaks up when it matters most.

YOYO & CHESS features a smooth blend of male vocals accompanied by dynamic percussion, rich synth layers, and a deep bass line, creating an engaging and energetic atmosphere.

YOYO & CHESS is a rap song about people who toy with people’s lives. For centuries, the universal key to ultimate happiness and success is liberty. We all are part of a game, ruled by Godless rulers (evils) who make our lives a living hell. They stop us from improving and growing, and if we don't fight back and stand up for our beliefs and goals, we will never be able to live a life of liberty.

Lyrics

YoYo and Chess, YoYo and Chess
This is time to end this mess
Our turning point in life is ending the circle of silence
Saying goodbye to standby
Cut the Yo-Yo string and feel alive
Take control of the game of life

Ladies & Gentlemen, Royalties & Refugees
Ordinary & celebrity, welcome to reality

Aren't you tired of waiting and fading?
While everyone else is living their dream
Remaining in standby is exhausting
Mighty hungry rulers place obstacles in our way
And all we wish desperately is to break out and get away

A.Z.A.D.I, AZADI, LIBERTY for you and me, mon amis
Consciously, unconsciously, maliciously
Swing with our destiny like a yo-yo
Throw us up and down in the air and we wonder helplessly
When will be released from the unbalanced uncertainty

YoYo and Chess, YoYo and Chess
This is time to end this mess
Our turning point in life is ending the circle of silence
Saying goodbye to standby
Cut the Yo-Yo string and feel alive
Take control of the game of life

See Life is a chessboard, black & white
Sometimes we're wrong, sometimes we're right
However, most people won't treat us right
We either stand in the front row or back
Kings and Queens cheat behind our back
Move us up and down and side to side
Left or right, none of this is right

A.Z.A.D.I, AZADI, LIBERTY for you and me, mon amis
The more we practice the game of life, of life
The better we defeat the knights, the nights
So make sure we play it right

Yo o & Chess, YoYo & Chess
This is time to end this mess
Our turning point in life is ending the circle of silence
Saying goodbye to standby
Cut the Yo-Yo string and feel alive

YoYo & Chess, YoYo & Chess
This is time to end this mess
Our turning point in life is ending the circle of silence
Saying goodbye to standby
Cut the Yo-Yo string and feel alive
Take control of the game of life!

Every waiting and fading has an ending
No one stands still forever
We've been trapped for way too long
Mon amis, the game is over!
We made it! Checkmate!
