My Pawn on e5 Stays

Verse 1

Knight to f6, pawn to d6 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 d6

Old school moves, no cheap tricks

Pawn to e5, knight to d7 3.Nc3 e5 4.Nf3 Nbd7

He plays e4, more space, I let him 5.e4

My knight guards e5, standing steady

Chorus

Bishop to e7, that's my pick 5...Be7

Castles short, pawn to c6 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O c6

My pawn on e5 holds the ground

Closed and calm, I don't back down

Verse 2

His rook to e1, pawn to a6 8.Re1 a6

Don't trade on d4, the tension sticks

His bishop to f1, pawn to b5 9.Bf1 b5

My b-pawn hits c4, wing goes live

Chorus

Bishop to e7, that's my pick 5...Be7

Castles short, pawn to c6 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O c6

My pawn on e5 holds the ground

Closed and calm, I don't back down

Bridge

He has more space, that's the trade

My bishop on c8 has to wait

Locked pawns on e4 and e5

Andreikin keeps this line alive

Chorus

Bishop to e7, that's my pick 5...Be7

Castles short, pawn to c6 6.Be2 O-O 7.O-O c6

My pawn on e5 holds the ground

Closed and calm, I don't back down

Outro

Pawn to e5, I plant it deep 3.Nc3 e5

My pawn on e5, the square I keep
