The Mission Lyrics

[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

[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 him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah
Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
9AM, 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

[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 him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah
Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
Yeah, son of an immigrant
Tell my unborn son
Tell my unborn daughter
Tell her that's the mission, yeah
Are you crazy? All I ever hear is people talkin' about how bad nepotism is
Do you know how badly I want some nepotism in my life?

To me, the song is about the want and need for a better future, especially for 1st generation kids of immigrant backgrounds – telling our stories is so important.
