[Verse 1: Nas]
(A mastermind) sees it coming before it comes
(A mastermind) before he go to war he counts his ones
(A mastermind) everything planned out perfect
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 2: Fat Joe]
Yo, unh, I stay grinding, everybody countеd me out
Now I'm rewinding in my summer bеach house
If I'm not in the studio I'm out on tour
Busting my ass to make my fans future secure
Nowadays everybody want somethin for nothin
All of a sudden niggas talkin like "Joey be frontin"
The hood screaming Crack done changed, he don't holla
I know now B.I.G., Mo Money Mo Problems
Jealousy's a muthafucka
Who'd a thought the same niggas you be feeding be the muthafuckaz coming for ya
I'm not stressin, I was born a warrior
Plus I'm too big, too strong, too wise for ya
When it's all said and done I follow my dreams
Could have ended up dead or in jail given the scheme of things
To let you know I'm the reason you still walking
If I said something it was me, not the liquor talking
[Chorus: 50 Cent & Eminem]
Many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord, I don't cry no more
(You know what's comin'? You motherfuckers don't even know, do you?)
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
(Dont let me lose you, Im not tryin to confuse you)
Have mercy on many men
(You get the message? Am I gettin' through to you?)
(You're now- you're now about to witness the power)
[Verse 3: Eminem]
See, the problem is I speak to suburban kids
Who otherwise would've never knew these words exist
Whose moms prob'ly would've never gave two squirts of piss
'Til I created so much motherfuckin' turbulence
Straight out the tube, right into your livin' rooms I came
And kids flipped when they knew I was produced by Dre
That's all it took, and they were instantly hooked right in
And they connected with me too, because I looked like them
That's why they put my lyrics up under this microscope
Searchin' with a fine tooth comb, it's like this rope
Waitin' to choke, tightenin' around my throat
Watchin' me while I write this, like, "I don't like this note!"
All I hear is: lyrics, lyrics, constant controversy
Sponsors workin' 'round the clock to try to stop my concerts early
Surely hip-hop was never a problem in Harlem, only in Boston
After it bothered the fathers of daughters startin' to blossom
So now I'm catchin' the flak from these activists when they raggin'
Actin' like I'm the first rapper to smack a bitch or say "faggot", shit
Just look at me like I'm your closest pal
The poster child, the motherfuckin' spokesman now, ha-ha
[Chorus: 50 Cent & Eminem]
Many men
Many, many, many, many men
Wish death 'pon me
Lord, I don't cry no more
(You know what's comin'? You motherfuckers don't even know, do you?)
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on my soul
(Dont let me lose you, Im not tryin to confuse you)
Have mercy on many men
(You get the message? Am I gettin' through to you?)
(You're now- you're now about to witness the power)
