The Mission Lyrics

The significance of the number thirteen

Thirteen brings the test the suffering and the death

It symbolizes the death to the matter or to oneself and the birth to the spirit

The passage on a higher level of existence

It took me thirteen years to get to my first album

Thirteen tracks are on my first album

Harriet Tubman went on thirteen mission to free hundreds of her people out of slavery

Each song on the album is me going on a mission

Symbolic to Harriet Tubmans to free her brothers and sisters out of bondage

The mission of this album is to free myself which is to free my brothers and sisters

In eradicating any pre-conceived notions of myself

The passage to higher level of existence is where I reside

Step inside and enjoy the ride

Tabula rasa

The underground tunnel to the motherland

Undercover the conductor moving contraband

The underground tunnel to the motherland

Risk it all so we can make it to the promised land

All aboard

The train about to leave

All aboard every African held in bondage

The mission covert operation underground surveillance

I'm on my tailor made shit and my faith is hella crazy

Young Harriet never stayed at no Marriott

Station masters owned the safe houses we would crash at

Treading these rugged deep dark terrains is ugly

Seek first the kingdom pray your righteousness fall on me

I'm overzealous the Lord embellish my presence

Illuminated my essence I light the way for my brethren

To the promised land heaven amongst the hell of man

Escaping plantations filled with the blood of the Africans

We rolling the same but I keep the iron on me

Cause we be weak in they flesh and thinking freedom is free

Pray the spirit on me

Death over bondage cause we strapped up and ready to liberate the homies

Uhh

The underground tunnel to the motherland

Undercover the conductor moving contraband

(To free the people I got to free the people)

The underground tunnel to the motherland

(Free the people the only thing we be talking bout)

Risk it all so we can make it to the promised land

Swing low sweet chariot I dedicate this one to Harriet

Nicknamed Moses lead her people through the waters

Took a vow to serve the tribe and free her kinfolk out of bondage

You couldn't bare the burden to concerned with rocking birkins

Imagine tasting freedom then risking it all but for one purpose

To be of service to the brothas who can't see a way

And move off faith because God's grace navigate my way

I was in the trenches hopping fences hope the wolves don't prey

Freedom over everything the sweetest thing I've never seen

Silence hear the mockingbird I swear I heard the angels sing

Never knew no good thing dreams is all I ever had

Dreaming of the promised land liberate the common man

It gon take a village once we in it then we in it

Black woman Black queen Mother Earth reign supreme

And let em' know a sista broke the yokes and set a nucca free

The underground tunnel to the motherland

Undercover the conductor moving contraband

(Free the people I got to free the people)

The underground tunnel to the motherland

(Free the people the only thing we be talking bout)

Risk it all so we can make it to the promised land
