Mission Lyrics

I was taught to lead the way as a bad kid,

Keep ya background clean like an adlib

When opportunity presents you better grab shit

Quit bragging bout the old days that shits past tense

Moms always seemed to make a way we ain't have rent

Always had drive but nowadays it gotta have tint

Better have a backup it's crazy how a plan switch

Niggas got cap locked my team made the bag shift

What you know bout writing life verses in yo classes?

What you know bout cops searching shit without them asking

What you know bout homies hittin licks and barely passin?

All for advancing they genes like high fashion

I been on a mission,( I been on a mission)

When life got real blurry I still kept the vision

When we was all flat broke all we did was pay attention

Sometimes you gotta let em talk it's better if you just listen

Reckless and heartless , all moving cautious

Poverty was sickening, really felt nauseous

Had hoop dreams thought I'd end up on a roster

But nobody really checking where we from this gonna cost us

Number 5 bus catching, pin for a lunch having

Pro club tall was the uniform for us had to

Really dig deep and find the love had to trust passion

Lock down and grind while they party get you up faster

This is preparation it lasts way more than luck lasting

Gotta play the game seems the only thing they trust status

Take the big shots and make em how you get to clutch status

Gotta lay it all on the line or be just average

I been on a mission, when life got real blurry I still kept the vision

When we was all flat broke all we did was pay attention

Sometimes you gotta let em talk it's better if you just listen
