I wrote this song a long time ago and I guess it's about a few different things. I had never played the song for him but, I met up with my little brother in Chicago a few years ago and he had a tattoo on his arm of this pawn with a crown on his head. I guess family thinks a like but something told me I needed to make the track happen. Thanks so much to all of you for watching and subscribing.

Thanks horse. Thanks as always to Pete and Dante and the whole ERB crew. Produced by Maker Studios Los Angeles, CA I talk pretty fast in this one. Thought I'd post the lyrics in the case you'd dig'em "It looked like destruction at the break of the dawn When one pawn jumped a knight turned and screamed...C'mon!!!! The rooks jumped back as he attacked the castles the bishops acted too casual as Pawn broke the actual Moving uncontrollably swarming the board Slashing axes hatchets knives daggers and swords Furiously forward his momentum was growing Not aware of the rules he's broken Cause he never chose to know them Overflowing with passion Having to have action Battling to the end of the board Just to turn and battle back again Ask a friend Cause everybody knows one One pawn who won't stop Some gotta start Some gotta be a part of started things Some cats are hearts Some cats are veins Pawn's battered and bleeding Badly beaten Sadly treated to treason Dragging back to even Still can't see retreating Bloodied and battered Utterly savage Ugly and back sagging Suddenly saddened is the attack addict He's back at it. Overflowing omens without knowing where he's going Only led, only stolen by what's shown him Forever roaming Never homing in on nothing But he's gotta turn this sight into something Some gotta start Some gotta be a part of started things Some cats are hearts Some cats are veins Some cats surf Some cats make the waves The mist lifts his hands still clenched in a fist teeth grit neck twists to look for who's coming next but there's none left all around Pawn's surrounded by death save for a King kneeling down in respect He's a loose cannon but he's still standing Gripping his weapon Checking position Wondering when he'll need to move again He's a dead end if the battle ever ceases He's going for broke and just hoping He can put back all the pieces Wondering if it's over But knowing it's all that he knows Knowing it's the only thing that grows inside his soul Only his foes can show him what's he's got And he knows he's nothing if the match ever stops Cause... Some gotta start Some gotta be a part of started things Some cats are hearts Some cats are veins Some cats surf And some cats make the waves
