AK, okay, check
Bitch nigga let's play chess, yo bitch next, no latex
from Rick Ross – Hold Me Back Lyrics on Rap Genius
Meaning
Ross uses chess terminology to emphasize how bad of a situation he’s put this nameless foe into.
- “Check” means Ross has made sure his AK-47 is at the ready, but also hints that he has his enemy in check, meaning their king is threatened (in this case, Ross’s foe). Ross then make the chess allegory explicit with the next line.
- Not content to capture the king, Ross is poised to (sexually) take his enemy’s queen (bitch), as well.
Ross, a premier tactician, wants to challenge the competition to a game that he already knows the outcome to, as he knows how “to adapt”, as hinted at in the intro of the song.

Let us not forget that chess is hood certified.
