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
