Uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh...

A Mastermind - Sees it coming before it comes

A Mastermind - Before he go to war he counts his one

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 car similar to a suanas, in my diamonds

And my principal 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 amatures in beef with a grown man

It taught me the lessons of how the strong stand

And how the weak, end up in a coffin

Play it cool, that's the old school rule, man

Keep your ears to the street, y'all never lose man

Make your enemies believe there's love there

Cause in war, belief is all fair

Rock them to sleep, shots in your jeep

And you ain't never know the plot was from me

It's from my Masterminds

A Mastermind - Sees it coming before it comes

A Mastermind - Before he go to war he counts his one

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 layin

And I'm nice on that black stone merlo

Toast to my hero Nat Turner

Whether below zero, gave the keys to Kelis

Whispered in her earlobe, drive on

Cause she the wife and they the freaks

The 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 trucks

Knownin' that I'm surrounded by OG's that I don't really get down with

They got a seperate table for their freaks bought them drinks

So we could talk man-to-man so real ****** could link

I knew, they kill hos 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

Now I'm strong with ****** who felt 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 gonna be

But I'm a Mastermind

A Mastermind - Sees it coming before it comes

A Mastermind - Before he go to war he counts his one

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 live a clean life, I don't even steal cable

I speak for myslef, my ****** will 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 **** only last 15 minutes

Every ***** get burned, but it's what you did with it

****** who brillant, came in and killed it

Made millions ever three months, new jury

I'm low, smoking blueberry, with a ho

Who know a few scary individuals eerie as she gets into it

Squares they into voodoo

She says a Hail Mary and 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 counts his one

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
