[Intro] [radio static] "Deep Orbit, can you hear?" Yeah, loud and clear, homie Outer rim rollin' Still on job, still zoned in [Verse 1] Cruisin' past the markers, gold glare on the hull Got a crate full of questions, couple scars on the skull They say, "Bring back Drift, boy, lock that in" Mission tag flashin' on the dash again I don't sling on my own block, learned that young Seen too many kings lose crowns to they tongue So I'm far from the turf where the old heads sit But the grind still the same, I just widened the strip Stars like streetlights, watch 'em slide in the glass Outer rim routes feel like ridin' through the past Heard command on the line, tryin' to tighten my roam "Stay on target, Deep, and bring that payload home" [Chorus] Stay on mission Keep your mind on the mark, boy, stay on mission From the block to the dark, gotta stay on mission You can feel that pull, but I stay on mission Yeah, I stay on mission [Verse 2] [low vocal register] They pagin' in my ear, "Quit driftin', report" I'm just checkin' every angle like a DA in court Can't front on my section, still love my zone But I'm buildin' up the wealth where the noise ain't known Outer rim hustle, that's a long-haul grind Every sample in the stash worth a lifetime fine They beg for the Drift like a hit to the vein I just seal it in the case, keep it locked in the frame Heard a voice from the crib like, "You good out there?" I'm good, I'm grown, I breathe thin air Mission control say, "Move, don't lose that stash" I reply, "Ten-four," as the gauges flash [Chorus] [Bridge] [whispered vocals] "Deep Orbit, status?" Still stackin' data, still stackin' habits Not a flinch, not a slip in the code Outer rim grind, got rules to uphold [spoken] You don't flood where you came from, fool You protect that soil, that's the first real rule So I'm gone in the black, but my mind on home Stay on mission 'til the wheels hit stone [Chorus]
