JIMMY BRINX - Mission lyrics

[Jimmy Brinx]

Whats the word life mean to yall

Listen, lets take you years back when it meant nothing to dawg

Couple dollars in the dice game

Dirty burners slinging crack when the night game

Bloody murder street life drama and the pain

Hard to maintain

You could be the wildest thug still the tears came

I remember like it was just yesterday

Waking up daddys gone with the weeks pay

Hear the screams from the new born baby brother

Moms passed out belly crying out hunger

At the neighbors house mommy won't wake up

DHS at the door trying to take take us

No clothes no school no pay stubs

No water head lice barely no grub

In this life theres got to be a better way

I know there is and its gonna come one day

I'm wondering when, I'm getting older now

Its getting colder out and theres no heat

But I know the streets I chose the wrong route

And I know that now cause

[Chorus]

I'm on a mission and I'm wishing just to see the next day

On my knees praying please theres got to be a better way

Cause I'm trying out my mind why does life seem to trife

I'm on a mission, I'm on a mission

[Jimmy Brinx]

I sold the same stuff brought the whole family down

But I got to eat I got more family now

Same stuff I was brought up in and got me caught up in

Please Lord tell when the pain going to end

I hear the voice, see the sign but I ignore it

Girl on my back telling me she can't afford it

I got a baby need us both there to be supportive

If you got a talent work part time and go record it

If we short with the rent I get my mom to loan

Wish I really would have listened but of course I dont

Drug deal gone bad he reaching for his gun

A quick flash of my girl and my new son

Got away unharmed I know the Lords there

My life changed for the better thanks to a prayer

She said to me when I left the house that night

The better days are here and its alright

[Chorus]
