Soneta - Mission X Lyrics

Touched down in the land
No turn in these fables
Visitor in town
I'm in the city of lost angels
Where life meets death
And they see only one angle
Took a ride to san diego
Introduce my vibe
Like I'm the soul of masego
Mocking of the ridicule
So this void is empty
I know what it takes
I know pain
So I show empathy
Living in a jungle of tundras
Making wishes like wanda
Stacking the commas
Pressin and addressin
This ain't no double entendre
Sleep the cousin of death
Hovering over my head
Looking over my shoulders
Like i'm running from the dead
Gotta make my bed
Voice of the underachiever
Here to Pave the way instead
Tapped into the game
It's time to start getting to this bread
On my victory lap
Run that back ima retriever
Willing to stand before mine
Cuz I'm a solid believer
Runnin a days relapse
Tryna see the signs
Praying to god for patience to wait on my time
So im
Locked in on my grind
Runnin a days relapse
Tryna see the signs
Praying to god for patience to wait on my time
So i'm
Locked in on my grind
So i'm
Locked in on my grind
Staying humble as a rock
Sustaining human tendencies
Making calls as i go
Stamina like the last refugee
Saving the kids willing to risk they life with no pay
Make them understand it ain't okay to live in such a way
Recognize fear in light of the shadows
They baffle and scuffle, living like a worm in an apple
Adaptful
Busy making excuses to save the day
Crack paved, misbehaved
heading straight to the grave
I learned my lesson and completely turned away
Now on my mission to redemption
There's no temptin
No shame, no remorse
I had to light my own torch
All game, all scorch
I put my best front forth
Hand on hand
Found my formula
There's no room to distort
A dollar is a dollar
And I'm not with a dollar short
Playing on the field
But we can bring it to the courts
Take no shorts
Asian with chopsticks
I don't like using forks
I don't like using that shit
Asian with chopsticks
I don't like using forks
Runnin a days relapse
Tryna see the signs
Praying to god for patience to wait on my time
So I'm
Locked in on my grind
Runnin a days relapse
Tryna see the signs
Praying to god for patience to wait on my time
So I'm
Locked in on my grind
twelve years old when I was first expose to a fiend in the front yard
Life like spades gotta be lucky to have the right cards
Swerving posted on the back streets
Still have back aches from cops slammin me onto the concrete
Gotta collect my thoughts
Unproductive fault
Don't get caught in this false world
Legends of the fall illimatic like nas
Had to put my life on pause
Lost, didn't know where I belong
Trusting in the process shit is taking to long
They told me to water this down
Dumb down your sound
That's like giving up the plug when you not in town
God like but I'm not ll took l's in the hallways
Sick on the mic my skin looking pale
Rags and gun shells feeling like I'm around the corner from hell
Stagnant ways cleaning dirty scales

Touched down in the land
No turn in these fables
Visitor in town
I'm in the city of lost angels
Where life meets death
And they see only one angle
Took a ride to san diego
Introduce my vibe
Like I'm the soul of masego
Mocking of the ridicule
