[Intro]
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
Uh, uh
[Chorus]
A mastermind sees it coming before it comes
A mastermind, before he go to war, he count his ones
A mastermind, everything planned out perfect
In case y'all **** got to get murdered
A mastermind sleeps at night real easy
A mastermind, 'cause everything he does is by the book
A mastermind never do a thing irrational
Lives forever, these tales are classical
[Verse 1]
Velvet bow ties
Bulletproof's in the tux when I roll by
In a car similar to Osama's in my diamonds
And my principle is to study drama
Look what happened in Manhattan
A couple of years ago, when guns started clappin'
Two of my dogs fell, two of my **** ran
They was amateurs in beef with a grown man
It taught me the lessons of how the strong stand
And how the weak end up in the coffin
Play it cool, that's the old school rule, man
Keep your ears to the streets, you'll never lose, man
Make your enemies believe there's love there
'Cause in war, belief is all fair
Rock 'em to sleep, shots in your Jeep
And you ain't never know the plot was from me, this for my masterminds
[Chorus]
A mastermind sees it coming before it comes
A mastermind, before he go to war, he count his ones
A mastermind, everything planned out perfect
In case y'all **** got to get murdered
A mastermind sleeps at night real easy
A mastermind, 'cause everything he does is by the book
A mastermind never do a thing irrational
Lives forever, these tales are classical
[Verse 2]
It ain't a game, it's the life
Think it's a game? You lame and I'm nice
On that black stone Merlot
Toast to my hero Nat Turner, weather below zero
Gave the keys to Kelis, whispered in her earlobe
"Drive home", 'cause she the wife and they the freaks
They underneath my girl caliber, they smiled at her
And said "goodbye" with **** who thug or die, they wild as us
My bodyguards are my Denali truck
Knowing I'm surrounded by OG's that I don't really get down with
They got a separate table for their freaks, bought 'em drinks
So we could talk man-to-man, so real **** could link
I knew they killed hoes, too, like Rae Carruth
They used to spray troops, now they managing groups
The main ****, Sonny, had big money since '82
Had two of my dawgs whacked, nothing I could do
That was back when I had no crew, I switched that
Now I'm strong with **** who feel Sonny was wrong
My money's long, his money is weak, he's losing sleep
Trying to feel me out to see what it's gon' be, but I'm a—
[Chorus]
A mastermind sees it coming before it comes
A mastermind, before he go to war, he count his ones
A mastermind, everything planned out perfect
In case y'all **** got to get murdered
A mastermind sleeps at night real easy
A mastermind, 'cause everything he does is by the book
A mastermind never do a thing irrational
Lives forever, these tales are classical
[Verse 3]
I lived a clean life, I don't even steal cable
I speak for myself, my ****'ll slay you
Lucky us, this rap done worked out fine
Feds, check me out, it's no dirt y'all find
This King of New York shit only last fifteen minutes
Every **** get burned, but it's what you did with it
**** who brilliant came in and killed it
Made millions, every three months, new jury, I'm low
Smoking Blueberry with a ho that know a few scary
Individuals, it's eerie as she get into it
Swears they into voodoo, she says a Hail Mary, then she said she knew who
Would come and try to kill you too
[Chorus]
A mastermind sees it coming before it comes
A mastermind, before he go to war, he count his ones
A mastermind, everything planned out perfect
In case y'all **** got to get murdered
A mastermind sleeps at night real easy
A mastermind, 'cause everything he does is by the book
A mastermind never do a thing irrational
Lives forever, these tales are classical
