The Mission

[Hook] Turn my cuffs into a crown, I was made for the struggle, Locked down in the crib, still was makin’ it double. Talkin' plays over FaceTime, movin' like it’s a bubble, I was stuck in one place — but my hustle had muscle. [Verse 1] They said house arrest would break me — I just broke through the ceiling, GPS on my ankle, but my mind touchin’ billions. Paranoid on the porch, every car sound like a mission, But I still plotted charts, talkin’ boss-type decisions. My kids watchin’ me close — can’t fold under pressure, If they grow up off excuses, I ain’t teach 'em no better. Had to FaceTime God, told Him “send me the pressure,” 'Cause diamonds born in silence — not Instagram lectures. Shawty left when it got slow, guess love ain’t consistent, But I turn pain into fuel, now the grind more efficient. I ain’t tryna make amends — I’m tryna make millions, Built an empire in chains, that's a whole different feelin'. [Hook] Turn my cuffs into a crown, I was made for the struggle, Locked down in the crib, still was makin’ it double. Talkin' plays over FaceTime, movin' like it’s a bubble, I was stuck in one place — but my hustle had muscle. [Verse 2] I had no keys to the fucking streets, but I unlocked my mind, Turned my time into gold, every second divine. They say “stacks fell off” — nah nig-ah, I was learnin' the climb, Now I’m ten steps ahead of you nig-ahs and a dollar past prime. Used to pace by the window, wonder who really ride, Found out most was just acting nig-ahs with that loyalty lie. But I ain't stressin’ no roles — I play God in my script, I built this shit outta trauma, made 'em bow when I spit. I ain't just rappin', I’m preachin', this a sermon in quotes, Every line is a lifeline — won’t catch me sellin' no hopes. For my son and my daughters, never go broke or I’m ghostin’ them all, But I’m rich in my soul — and that’s worth the most. [Outro - Transition] Everything I did behind them walls… it wasn’t for survival — it was strategy. I made loyalty a luxury. I made silence a weapon. I made freedom mean ownership.
