Art of War lyrics

(Mm) 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 (mm) 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 (Mmm) 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 (Mmm) 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 (Mmm) This is the art of war (Mmm)
