Master Mind (I own the souls)- Michael Johnson

(Intro — low choir, echoing footsteps, faint crowd boos reversed)
They thought it was betrayal.
Nah…
It was orchestration.

Verse 1

He never threw the punch, never took the fall,
Just whispered in the dark while they watched it all.
Smile like a legend, voice smooth as gold,
But every word he spoke left a story controlled.

He don’t need the spotlight, he bends it instead,
Moves pieces with promises, crowns in his head.
Heroes think they chose it, villains think they’re free,
But every road they walk? Yeah, it leads to he.

Pre-Hook

He said, “You want the throne?”
“Then stop asking permission.”
Seeds planted in silence
Grow loud when ambition listens.

Hook

I’m the master mind, I own the souls,
Every turn, every fall — yeah, I wrote those roles.
You think it’s your choice when the world explodes,
But I pulled the strings, now the truth unfolds.

Yeah, I’m the master mind, deal signed slow,
Not with force — with a yes you didn’t know.
You sold your soul, but I set the toll,
Now look around…
I own the souls.

Verse 2

He stood between eras, god and man,
With a raised eyebrow and a master plan.
Knew exactly when to push that doubt,
Knew when to stay quiet, knew when to speak loud.

Watched heroes crack under polished advice,
“Do what’s best for you” — that’s the deadliest lie.
Didn’t dirty his hands, didn’t break his smile,
Just let time and ego do the work for a while.

Hook

I’m the master mind, I own the souls,
Every turn, every fall — yeah, I wrote those roles.
You think it’s your choice when the world explodes,
But I pulled the strings, now the truth unfolds.

Yeah, I’m the master mind, deal signed slow,
Not with force — with a yes you didn’t know.
You sold your soul, but I set the toll,
Now look around…
I own the souls.

Bridge — spoken, cold, confident

Power ain’t loud.
Power waits.
Power lets you think it’s yours…
Until it’s time to collect.

Verse 3

Now the crowd points fingers, scream “How could you turn?”
But the fire was lit long before it burned.
One man fell, one crown changed hands,
But the real king never showed his hands.

He don’t need redemption, he don’t need praise,
He feeds off chaos and rewritten fates.
While they fight in the ring, fight in their souls,
He watches from above like, “Good… let it go.”

Final Hook (darker, heavier)

I’m the master mind, I own the souls,
Every hero, every villain — all under control.
You call it betrayal, I call it design,
Checkmate moments happen over time.

Yeah, I’m the master mind, this ain’t a phase,
It’s a long game played on decades of faith.
You sold your soul for power and goals—
But never forget…
I own the souls.

Outro — crowd noise fades into a single heartbeat

You thought the turn was the moment.
The moment was just the reveal.
I was there the whole time.
