Art of War

(Intro) Yeah, strategy over strength Mind over muscle Gotta play it like a king, never move on a hustle Nah, I don’t rush moves, every step got a meaning Sun Tzu in my veins, every battle got a reason (Verse 1) Know when to strike, know when to fall back Never show your hand, let ‘em wonder where you at War ain't just the battle, it's the mind state Patience like a chess move, let ‘em violate Let ‘em overreach, let ‘em talk big Let ‘em think they run it till they caught up in the mix I don’t fight for nothin’, I just fight to win Victory’s the goal, not the thrill of the sin Never let ‘em see you sweat, keep your cool Play the fool if you have to, let ‘em think they rule Every king got a plan, every move got a cost Make ‘em feel safe right before they take a loss (Pre-Chorus) Move in silence, never rush the play Master patience, let the pawns get slain Watch the board, see the pieces change When the time is right, make ‘em feel the pain (Hook) This the art of war, this ain’t just a fight Every move is planned, every step precise Gotta play the long game, never roll the dice Let ‘em make mistakes, then I take what’s mine This the art of war, this ain't for the weak Gotta keep it quiet, gotta let ‘em sleep When the time is right, then we hit the peak Victory is mine, let ‘em rest in peace (Verse 2) A battle ain't won by the loudest voice It’s the quiet ones who make the deadliest choice See, you can flex all you want, show the gold and the chains But the real power move is to never explain A weak man talks, but a strong one listens You can rule from the shadows, that’s the realest position A storm don’t warn you before it attacks And a king don’t warn you before he strikes back See, I let ‘em think they up, let ‘em think they got it Watch ‘em move reckless, thinkin’ that they solid Then I play the switch, flip the whole script Turn their strength into weakness, now they stuck in the pit (Bridge) Know yourself, know your enemy A hundred battles, a hundred victories Never fight outta pride, that's a weakness Every loss is a lesson, learn to keep it (Hook) This the art of war, this ain’t just a fight Every move is planned, every step precise Gotta play the long game, never roll the dice Let ‘em make mistakes, then I take what’s mine This the art of war, this ain't for the weak Gotta keep it quiet, gotta let ‘em sleep When the time is right, then we hit the peak Victory is mine, let ‘em rest in peace (Outro) Yeah, I don’t move for no clout I don’t fight for the crowd I just sit back, strategize, then I take the crown The real kings ain’t loud, they just move and devour Every war is won before the fight goes down This the art of war.
