[Verse] Walkin' down the avenue the city's lights so bright Got my cap pulled low I'm ready for the night People see the face they don't see inside my head Don’t let the smile fool you—under this cap there’s a mind that’s always one step ahead [Verse 2] Crowds they gather round the energy it flows Catch a glance then get pulled into the show Whispers in the dark but they don't take the bet Don’t let the smile fool you—under this cap there’s a mind that’s always one step ahead [Chorus] Always one step ahead never lookin' back Got my plans in place never off track See the world from a different view instead Under this cap there’s a mind always one step ahead [Bridge] Secrets hidden deep behind these hazel eyes Every move I make is part of my disguise Gotta play the game better than they expect Under this cap there's a mind always in check [Verse 3] Late night talks and city walks they don't understand Every trick and every move has been finely planned See the future clear despite all the dread Don’t let the smile fool you—under this cap there’s a mind that’s always one step ahead [Chorus] Always one step ahead never lookin' back Got my plans in place never off track See the world from a different view instead Under this cap there’s a mind always one step ahead
