(A mastermind) sees it coming before it comes

(A mastermind) before he go to war he counts his ones

(A mastermind) everything planned out perfect

In case y'all n- got to get aggressive

(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

Bulletproof's in the tux, when I roll by

In a car similar to Osama's, in my diamonds

And my principal is to study drama

Look what happened in Manhattan

A couple of, years ago when g- started clappin'

Two of my dogs fell, two of my niggas ran

They was amateurs in beef with a grown man (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, you'll never lose, man

Make your enemies believe there's love there

'Cause in war, belief is all fair

Rock them to sleep, s- in your Jeep

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

It's from my masterminds

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

The underneath my girl caliber

They smiled at her and said, "Goodbye"

With n- who thug or die, they wild as us

My bodyguards in my Denali truck

Knowing that I'm surrounded by OGs

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 n- could link

I knew, they kill h- too like Rae Carruth

They used to spray troops, now they managing groups

The main nigga Sonny had big money since '82

Had two of my dogs whacked, nothing I could do

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

Now I'm strong with n- 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 mastermind

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

I speak for myself, my n- 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 n- get burned, but it's what you did with it

N- who brilliant, came in and killed it

Made millions every three months, new jury

I'm low, smoking Blueberry with a h- that know a few scary individuals

It's eerie as she get into it squares, they into voodoo

She says a Hail Mary, then she said she knew who

Would come and try to kill you too
