The Mission DNA

Intro

Uh

Let it breathe

Let it breathe

One time

Verse 1

Palms pressing onto that plastic cafeteria tray

Wondering if the mission matches my DNA

Looking for truth

Trying to find proof

Buried in books beneath a heavy southern roof

Classrooms turning into cages while the world turns cold

Staring at the stage before the story is told

Pre-Chorus

Is it loyalty

Is it royalty

Maybe just a frantic little frequency

Chorus

He carries a black heart in a golden room

Yeah he carries a black heart in a golden room

Ink on the pages like a shadow in bloom

Black heart

Heavy black heart

Just a man trying to outrun the doom

Post-Chorus

Running away

Running away

Uh

No escape

Verse 2

Boardrooms blooming with the boys in the grey suits

Hiding the history of the rottenest bitter roots

Checking the clocks

Wearing the locks

Climbing the ladder just to get the same shocks

Pedigree won't save you from the pressure of the street

Watching every blessing turn into a bitter defeat

Pre-Chorus

Is it loyalty

Is it royalty

Maybe just a frantic little frequency

Chorus

He carries a black heart in a golden room

Yeah he carries a black heart in a golden room

Ink on the pages like a shadow in bloom

Black heart

Heavy black heart

Just a man trying to outrun the doom

Post-Chorus

Running away

Running away

Uh

No escape

Bridge

They see the suit

They see the crown

They don't see the spirit staying down

Locked in

Checked in

Clocked in

And I’m still waiting on a sound

Chorus

He carries a black heart in a golden room

Yeah he carries a black heart in a golden room

Ink on the pages like a shadow in bloom

Black heart

Heavy black heart

Just a man trying to outrun the doom

Drop

Running away

No escape

Black heart

Black heart
