The Mission

Lyrics Translation

Don C, told mem "Keep shinin'"
In the streets and we're still wilin'
Only peace, only violence
No violence, in the sun where I'm highest
Melanin, bias, Jesus Christ I'm Island made
Darkest shade while she cleans my braids
Skin don't fade, and I'm still not phased by your magazine praise
We just wanna be great in these African genes

All I want's my kids to have some nepotism
All I want's my wealth to have some repetition
Call my unborn son and tell him that's the mission
Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah

Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah
Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah, yeah

9 A.M., Troye Sivan playing
Just a little man in your Mercedes-Benz
So amazing how you're raised this bad
Kid to a man in a whole different land
Girl, you made it
I don't wanna keep you waiting, no
I just thank you for your patience
As-salamu alaykum, we can make this go again
Again and again
We can make this go again
Again and again
We can make this go

All I want's my kids to have some nepotism
All I want's my wealth to have some repetition
Call my unborn son and tell him that's the mission
Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah

Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Tell him that's the mission, yeah

Are you crazy?
All I ever hear is people talking about how bad nepotism is
D'you know how badly I want some nepotism in my life?

Don C, told mem "Keep shinin'"
Don C, me disse "Continue brilhando"
In the streets and we're still wilin'
Nas ruas e ainda estamos selvagens
Only peace, only violence
Apenas paz, apenas violência
No violence, in the sun where I'm highest
Sem violência, no sol onde estou mais alto
Melanin, bias, Jesus Christ I'm Island made
Melanina, preconceito, Jesus Cristo eu sou feito na ilha
Darkest shade while she cleans my braids
Tom mais escuro enquanto ela limpa minhas tranças
Skin don't fade, and I'm still not phased by your magazine praise
A pele não desbota, e ainda não estou abalado pelo seu elogio de revista
We just wanna be great in these African genes
Só queremos ser grandes com esses genes africanos
All I want's my kids to have some nepotism
Tudo que eu quero é que meus filhos tenham algum nepotismo
All I want's my wealth to have some repetition
Tudo que eu quero é que minha riqueza tenha alguma repetição
Call my unborn son and tell him that's the mission
Ligue para meu filho ainda não nascido e diga a ele que essa é a missão
Tell him that's the vision, yeah
Diga a ele que essa é a visão, sim
Tell him that's the mission, yeah
Diga a ele que essa é a missão, sim
