Mastermind Nas

[Intro]
Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh-uh...

[Chorus]
(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 (Uh)
In case y'all niggas 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 1]
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 guns started clappin'
Two of my dogs fell, two of my niggas 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 a coffin
Play it cool, that's the old school rule, 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 them to sleep, shots in your Jeep
And you ain't never know the plot was from me
It's from my masterminds
