Mastermind - Live at Webster Hall, NYC - Dec. 17, 2002

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 niggaz 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 bow ties, bulletproofs in the tux, when I roll by

In the car similar to a saunas, 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 niggaz ran

They was armatures 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 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 niggaz 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 niggaz 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 separate table for their freaks bought them drinks

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

I knew, they kill hos too like Rae Carruth

They used to spray troops, now they managing groups

The main nigga 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 niggaz who felt Sunny 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 niggaz 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 myself, my niggaz will slay you

Lucky us, this rap done worked out fine

FED's, check me out, it's no dirt y'all find

This King of New York shit only last 15 minutes

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

Niggas who brilliant, 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 niggaz 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
