"Art Of War" lyrics
You thought my silence meant
I had nothing to say
You thought my stillness meant
I walked away
You mistook my patience for weakness baby
Underestimated me
Mm mm
That was your first mistake
While you were talking I was taking notes
While you were loud I was reading every move you made
You gave yourself away
Every single day
I don't react, I respond, I don't break, I bend
I don't lose, I learn
And I never
Ever
Ever
Ever
Let you see me sweat
This is the art of war
Mind over matter
You talk, I listen
You move, I'm three steps ahead
After silence is my greatest weapon
Mm
Patience is my sharpest sword
You never even saw me coming
This is the art of war
This is the art of war
Mm
I studied every pattern
Every habit, every tell
While you thought you had me figured out I knew you better than yourself
You played your hand too early
I was waiting for that moment
Every mental game you tried to run I already owned it
I don't react
I respond
I don't break
I bend I don't lose, I learn
And I never
Ever
Ever
Ever
Let you see me sweat
This is the art of war
Mind over matter
You talk, I listen
You move
I'm three steps ahead
After silence is my greatest weapon
Mm
Patience is my sharpest sword
You never even saw me coming
This is the art of war
This is the art of war
They call it cold, I call it calculated
They call it distant, I call it protected
Every wall I built
Was built with purpose
Every move I made
Was never random
I know what I want I know what I'm worth
And I will wait
As long as it takes
For the right moment
The right move
The right everything
Because that is what the art of war
Teaches you
Patience
Always patience
While you were sleeping I was planning
While you were playing I was winning
While you were watching I was moving
You never even saw me
You never even saw me
This is the art of war
Mind over matter
You talk, I listen
You move
I'm three steps ahead
After silence is my greatest weapon
Mm
Patience is my sharpest sword
You never even saw me coming
This is the art of war
This is the art of war
This is the art of war
I had nothing to say
You thought my stillness meant
I walked away
You mistook my patience for weakness baby
Underestimated me
Mm mm
That was your first mistake
While you were talking I was taking notes
While you were loud I was reading every move you made
You gave yourself away
Every single day
I don't react, I respond, I don't break, I bend
I don't lose, I learn
And I never
Ever
Ever
Ever
Let you see me sweat
This is the art of war
Mind over matter
You talk, I listen
You move, I'm three steps ahead
After silence is my greatest weapon
Mm
Patience is my sharpest sword
You never even saw me coming
This is the art of war
This is the art of war
Mm
I studied every pattern
Every habit, every tell
While you thought you had me figured out I knew you better than yourself
You played your hand too early
I was waiting for that moment
Every mental game you tried to run I already owned it

This is the art of war
This is the art of war
This is the art of war
