The Mission (Apple Music Home Session)
[Verse 1]
Don C told me "Keep shinin'"
In the streets and we're still wilin'
Only peace, only violets
No violence, in the sun where I'm highest
Melanin bias, Jesus Christ, I'm iron-made
Darkest shade while she cleans my braids
Skin don't fade, and I'm still not fazed by your magazine praise
We just wanna be great in these African genes
In these African genes

[Pre-Chorus]
All I want's my kids to have some nepotism
All I want's my wealth to have some rеpetition
Call my unborn son and tell him that's the mission
Tеll him that's the vision

[Chorus]
Tell me that's the mission
Tell me that's the vision, yeah
Tell me that's the mission
Tell me that's the mission, yeah

[Verse 2]
It's 9 AM, Choice FM playing
Just a little man in your Mercedes-Benz
So amazing how you're raised this bad
Kid to a man in a whole different land
Girl, you made it
I don't wanna keep you waitin', no
I just thank you for your patience
As-salamu alaykum, we can make this go again
Again and again
We can make this go again
Again and again
We can make this go
Again and again
We can make this go
[Pre-Chorus]
All I want's my kids to have some nepotism
All I want's my wealth to have some repetition
Call my unborn son and tell him that's the mission
Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah

[Chorus]
Tell me that's the mission, yeah
Tell her that's the mission
Tell him that's the mission
Tell her that's the mission
Tell me that's the mission
Tell me that's the mission
Tell me that's the mission
Mmm, mmm

[Outro]
Stuck in a maze, I know
Stuck in a maze, I know
Stuck in a maze, I know
Livin' in a mission, stuck in a mission
