Bad Guys Never Lose
(Verse 1 - Mastamind)
The clock is tickin down to your death day
I can't wait to help you meet your fate
Your time is low but my temper is high
Another young punk must die for fuckin with a bad guy
Who in the hell told you to come forth
And show your courage to me?
Now you must be punched up worse
I'm that motherfuckin unbeatable
Mastamind the unbelievable, decievable
NATAS is in the house to haunt it
I got your death certificate whenever you want it
Yo, I'm ready when you are
'Cause I live the life of the mad and devilish
Believe when I tell you this
Please don't get me confused
I'm not your mister nice guy
I'm all about bad news
And if you never knew
But now you do
I love to punch the words through
And tell you
About the trials and tribulations inside my head
I'm dead... can't you tell from the words I've said?
Ain't no speakin from bad guys point of views
Bad guys never lose
(Hook x4)
He was once that thug from around the way
But I'm one of the bad guys

(Verse 2 - Mastamind)
Listen to what I'm suggestin'
Any questions? Good!
I love to keep ya guessin'
I got it all planned out
I'mma kick the kinda shit that stands out
Call me an oddball if you will
I'll keep my grip while other suckas slip on banana peels
Still, I stay strong
I'm overseein' your gameplan
I can tell what you're doin' wrong
You're tryin' to reach the other side
The side where Reel Life stands
And where suckas like you die
Come to my class and let me give you some practice
I'll quiz and test ya, shape and bless ya
The way you're goin don't look good
On stage, you're gonna die at a young age
Some things in life are hard to come by
Softies can't adapt to the ways of a bad guy
Hear my words and watch my halo bend
How can a good guy win when bad guys never lose?
(Hook x4)
He was once that thug from around the way
But I'm one of the bad guys

(Verse 3 - Mastamind)
Is this TV? 'Cause all I see is commercials
Rap ain't got room for Bart Simpsons and Urkels
I bring everything down to Earth
Put it right in your face so you can see my life's work
This is my song for you to meditate on
I wanna keep it goin' on and on
Past the break of dawn
Ride along with me if you can
Ain't it scary that a madman holds your fate in his hands?
And if ya ain't strong then ya doomed
To whom it may concern, I'm kickin' my Looney Tunes
After this I won't be a stranger
My words of danger won't short change ya
I got kicked out of school for bad conduct
Nobody's a threat to Reel Life Product
Oh with the A-C-I-D I be practicin' arson as a hobby
And flame 'em
And now the ground is beneath me and all others
Now everybody's dead, 'cause the smoke smothers
Sisters and brothers this is the difference between bad and good
The good die, the bad last longer than the good would
I'd rather be the killer who's thrown in the slammer
Rather than bein' an innocent bystander
To each his own when ya walk the path I choose
Follow the leader, 'cause bad guys never lose
