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

Velvet bowties

Bulletproofs in the tux when I roll by

In the 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 rules, 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 ever know the plot was from me

This for my masterminds

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

It ain't a game, it's the life

Think it's a game, you lame and I'm nice on that Blackstone 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 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 OGs 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 ****, Sunny, had big money since '82

Had two of my dogs whacked, nothing I could do

That was back when I had no crew, I switch that

And now I'm strong with **** who feel Sunny was wrong

My money's long, his money is weak, he's losing sleep

Tryna feel me out to see what it's gon' be

But I'm a

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

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 kind 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 knew a few scary individuals

It's eerie as she gets into it, swears they into voodoo

She says a Hail Mary then she says she knew who

Would come and try to kill you too

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
