Complex:
Mastermind is back with a new single entitled “Optimus Prime”, which follows on from October’s “R Kid” and his impressive Plugged In freestyle.
Taking on a piano-laced trap instrumental, the Manchester-bred rapper-singer wastes no time in showing us why he’s one of the best rising talents...
[Chorus]
Walaalo hop out the gāṛi and let it spray
Niggas say they on me can't see their face
Never had no money now we make it rain
Run up on the gang you might end up in a grave
Belly hungry now I they know my plate
Now she bust it open cah she know I'm paid
Yeah
Somebody lied saying crime doesn't pay
I get lacaag five different ways
[Verse 1]
Askars on the block and somebody's getting booked again
They looked in the shoes now they trying to throw the book at them
All this lean that I sipped a lot of monеy spent
All these risks that I takе to get this money in
I can't, run with no snitch best stay over there
And if you fuckin with them opps best stay over there
I was broke that shit fucked with my mind
Then my life transformed like Optimus Prime
I got switch some niggas start losing my brain
Smoking all this cali trying to deal with the pain
Made a promise to myself get this money don't change
Started with some niggas they ain't it now we estranged
Felt like we gon get rich but that wasn't the case
All these drugs I take just to help me escape
Wish that I could bring my niggas back see their face
All these funny niggas that they could replace
[Chorus]
Walaalo hop out the gari and let it spray
Niggas say they on me can't see their face
Never had no money now we make it rain
Run up on the gang you might end up in a grave
Belly hungry now I they know my plate
Now she bust it open cah she know I'm paid
Yeah
Somebody lied saying crime doesn't pay
I get lacaag five different ways
[Verse 2]
Fuck love get racks we don't do no net chat
If cro slide then he probably trying to dead that
Homicides city niggas trying to push heads back
CBK I told them all it's just a setback
Forget that I got have the last laugh
Came a long way from weed packs in my backpack
Cali weed imported get it fast tracked
Lord bless my hooyo always praying for me
My nigga in the field with the 3 x 3
Bro don't touch no civvies we don't touch miskeens
With me or against me ain't no in between
Niggas say they done got me i'm the MVP
We was just lil kids now this shit got deep
Now i'm screaming free my dawg's and RIP's
Fill another cup let me light my weed yeah
[Chorus]
Walaalo hop out the gari and let it spray
Niggas say they on me can't see their face
Never had no money now we make it rain
Run up on the gang you might end up in a grave
Belly hungry now I they know my plate
Now she bust it open cah she know I'm paid
Yeah
Somebody lied saying crime doesn't pay
I get lacaag five different ways
