Mastermind Lyrics

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

    [Chorus]
    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

    [Verse]
    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 niggaz 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

    [Chorus]
    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

    [Verse]
    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 Denially trucks
    Knownin' that I'm surrounded by OGs 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 niggaz could link
    I knew, they kill hos too like Ray Carutth
    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

    [Chorus]
    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

    [Verse]
    I live a clean life, I don't even steal cable
    I speak for myslef, my niggaz 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 shit only last 15 minutes
    Every nigga get burned, but it's what you did with it
    Niggas 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

    [Chorus]
    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
