The Mission

Standing at the crossroads At the end of the path where the flock go Feelin’ blessed by the gods if we not gone In between the time the sun sets and the cock crows Tryn’a make the right moves getting cold feet Although we been walking on hot coals Coz the clock shows no mercy for lost souls and your socks show potholes when you got goals Martin Luther King had a dream that did not grow He got popped by a demon the plot goes black folk still carry that yolk, will carry that hope that broke but the cracks show Whole generation a youts that could not grow Without asking the truth where did pops go Why we enslaved in gangs, now we're in chains That hang at the torso, in the wardrobe Life in belly beast, striving to get to a better eat, Gotta climb to the peak, But the inclines hella steep when your mind’s an enemy to defeat We've been programmed to be weak Brainwashed by the programmes and the radio jams on repeat Rent scam is so beef, Some of us gotta shot grammes So we're getting those grands by the week The Man's got pockets but they're lined kinda deep And he can't reach, sometimes he might Throw a lil chump change at the school board But equality's thing that you can't teach Or solve while your jetting to a palm beach, Taking selfies with street kids that can't eat That's the part of the system we can't beat Til we all come together as one piece Decisions, Decisions To live or to die for the mission Not sure if the journey is even worth it Tryna fly with a backpack full of burdens So I stay Swervin’ Swervin, I’m a keep it movin till so long as it’s workin’ yeah Swervin’ Swervin, Til I see the ropes falling off the curtain yeah Are we defined by our conscience? Are we destined walk a certain path cos the cross fits? In a world where the godless are not stressed And the wotless lead the blind it's a hot mess How we gonna progress? when my ethnicity got me sittin on a watch list Honestly honesty I hear a lot less So a false prophet profiteers of a lost script If it ain't progress it's nonsense If it ain't us, It's a lot less How u gonna be a voice for the youth when you Misinterpret love for a sket in a dead dress Cyberspace we connect but we're not friends Productivity's up but to what end I ain’t tryna wake up watch the world end So I find peace on these beats thats a godsend. So i see the world different, Seen the world burn and to me that’s the system I’m well aware shit can change in an instant But seen the world turn its back on its children, Syria Ostracised but we never played the victim We learnt from the fringe that’s the difference Even learned about love from a distance But before love must come forgiveness So I speak the unspeakable Think the unthinkable live the unliveable They said i was an outcast, Said I was a cause for concern but i showed im invincible I ain't livin in the clouds both feet on the ground, Unified, we stay indivisible. If I'm judged by your rules I'm a criminal. Love transcend all hate in the physical Decisions, Decisions To live or to die for the mission Not sure if the journey is even worth it Tryna fly with a backpack full of burdens So I stay Swervin’ Swervin, I’m a keep it movin till so long as it’s workin yeah Swervin’ Swervin, Til I see the ropes falling off the curtain yeah --- The Mission - Foreign Beggars
