A.Lore - The Mission

You don't even work how you expecting to be on
Bearing the weight of a phantom Rolex on your arm
When it's time to show and prove man all you can do is talk
Hustling backwards praying to crawl when you can walk
You can picture me rolling real reminiscent of Rashad
As I look in the mirror telling you niggas imma star
I ain't better than niggas getting their bread up selling hard
They taught me the game 'cause we are facing the same odds
Learn to kill of your ego that's how your visions so cloudy
That's how your mans do you dirty and you know nothing about it
They ain't built the same as you and you don't question or doubt it
You call that nigga your bro? He wanna get you up out here
It's all Gucci when they use you as a means of survival
Turn the tables on 'em then them tears start streaming like Tidal
The ones you've been making plans with tend to become your rivals
Best start looking out for you aye dawg this message is vital
Just let it go

Keep your eyes up on your right hand when the left ain't lookin
Tell a real one from the fake when a pot starts cooking man
Them morals non existent when that dollar sign enters
Patna you can't trust a soul that ain't go through the grind witcha
Never let it break your focus don't put chooch over your business
If the whole team isn't eating boss yo job it isn't finished
Brotha it ain't comin' to you nah, gotta go get it
Yeen gonna be who you wishin' folk if growing ain't the mission

Take a note if she denies her hand in drama you react
And she Off-Broadway playing victim
Stay solid through action what's quiet's kept can't stand
No niggas that move dirty for attention
Ain't too late to join the wave that's hotter than rolling blackouts
While I'm sprinkling this game for those who came to hear what I'm 'bout
Wrote the lane to warn the game it'd be best for you to back out
You feel the same clearness when you tab out
Ah ah
Back to the mission I know your sick from the news
All them niggas bragging bout banging end up dead or in pews
Deepest condolence peep your reflection that could've been you
Seeing your face up on them clouds ain't such a beautiful view
But you, you got a chance to be the one of a few
That code ain't the way of moving though it's tried it ain't true
I know it's easy to pick it up right the wrongs against you
If I was you, if you was me? Then what the fuck would you do
Just let it go

Keep your eyes up on your right hand when the left ain't lookin
Tell a real one from the fake when a pot starts cooking man
Them morals non existent when that dollar sign enters
Patna you can't trust a soul that ain't go through the grind witcha
Never let it break your focus don't put chooch over your business
If the whole team isn't eating boss yo job it isn't finished
Brotha it ain't comin' to you nah, gotta go get it
Yeen gon be who you wishin' folk if growing ain't the mission

Keep your eyes up on your right hand when the left ain't lookin
Tell a real one from the fake when a pot starts cooking man
Them morals non existent when that dollar sign enters
Patna you can't trust a soul that ain't go through the grind witcha
Never let it break your focus don't put chooch over your business
If the whole team isn't eating boss yo job it isn't finished
Brotha it ain't comin' to you nah, gotta go get it
Yeen gon be who you wishin' folk if growing ain't the mission

That's why I call my thing The Marathon
I'm not gonna lie and portray this ultimate voice like I been had it figured it out
Nah
I just didn't quit
That's the only distinguishing quality for me
And probably whoever else is going through this
Or went through this or who's gonna go through this, is that I ain't quit
I went through every emotion
I went through every emotion with trying to pursue what I'm doing
Know what I mean
And I think that what's going to separate whoever's gonna try to go for something is that You ain't gonna quit
You know you really gonna take a stance that imma die behind what I'm getting
