The Mantra The Mission Lyrics

[Intro]
I remember like it was yesterday
How could I forget the mantra
The mission
How could I forget the beginning

[Verse]
You told me level up on them and f*ck what they're saying, you know that I'm real
Wanted me earning my stripes and war wounds, you don't want them to heal
You had me honing my skills, you told me go for the kill
Don't let them know that you feel a way, don't let them know that you feel
Met you when I was a kid, I was too stuck in my head
Told me your name was [?], what's up with you
Said "I'm riding to the death" and that I'm stuck with you
Thought it was cool to have support, I had enough issues
Fast forward, every time I fell back
You said "go and get yours" and I never felt bad
I was passive, you were the opposite Wanted to thin the herd whenever the plot gets thick
Told me it's a war outside and we can win it
If we get this black box but you don't know what's in it
And I told you that I'm with it, who got it?
You told me king Meisei, he stays right off of Hoffman
Told me whoever got it can mold the world
But Meisei's prime ambition is to control the world
Got us killing, drug dealing, got us stuck up in the system
Gave us guns, gave us pills, got us stuck up in a prison, we want different
Want to be the voice for everything that we don't get to say
"Stand firm in that position, we don't get to sway"
"Going back is just an option we don't get to weigh"
He said "show these people who you are and you don't get to change"
