Vance's Game

The pieces have been strategically placed,

across a very unique playing field.

Play wisely little brother for there is no rematch

To the victor, ones fate will be sealed.

Think back to a time long ago

We were children smiling, laughing

Our futures had not been decided

We were still so young and carefree

Play for that time in our life little brother

Play for both the child and the man

Play for all of us that your life has touched 

That you now hold in your hand.

What has life thrown our way

That we have not survived 

Time after time we've defied our fates

Learning  love, loyalty, and pride.

We paid our dues in blood and tears

Fighting our way through the hard knock life

To stand unbreakable apart but undefeatable side by side

So brother as you stare across the board 

Strategically moving each piece into play

Know we stand at your back ready to rally

Fuck them little brother, we got this checkmate!
