[Pre-Chorus]
I can't trust nobody, I'm feelin' lonely
I wanna live like Sosa, but feel like Tony
I swear the 6 feel like the Gaza, I smoke like a Rasta
It's just me and my partners tryna get our guap up
[Chorus]
And that's the mission, that's the mission
That's the mission, that's the mission (That's the mission)
That's the mission, that's the mission
[Verse 1]
Heard through a grapevine, my name been ringin' bells
I got a little buzz, but I'm still not doin' well
I swear the 6ix is full of demons, it's like I live in hell
Say you love me, better mean it
You lyin', I could tell, you pussy, I could smell
Dissin', they say I'm dissin', these niggas phony
It's shots up, no women, no children, I feel like Tony
Can't trust niggas, I'm like, "Fuck niggas," even my family
My cousin, he's sniffin' coca, I wanna be Sosa
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't trust nobody, I'm feelin' lonely
I wanna live like Sosa, but feel like Tony
I swear the 6 feel like the Gaza, I smoke like a Rasta
It's just me and my partners tryna get our guap up
[Chorus]
And that's the mission, that's the mission
That's the mission, that's the mission (That's the mission)
That's the mission, that's the mission
[Verse 2]
I'm off that Tanqueray, drinkin' and drivin'
Just popped a Xanny, I'm feelin' a way
Bitches ringin' me down, I feel like Manny
Can't trust these bitches, fuck these bitches, they can't do shit for me
I'm solo, movin' slo-mo, I smoke a lot of weed
No promo, don't need promo 'cause I got the streets
Make your mind up, make your mind up, had these niggas weak
Bitch, I'm bussin' for my niggas 'cause they like family
And if you try me on a Thursday, you won't survive the week
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't trust nobody, I'm feelin' lonely
I wanna live like Sosa, but feel like Tony
I swear the 6 feel like the Gaza, I smoke like a Rasta
It's just me and my partners tryna get our guap up
[Chorus]
And that's the mission, that's the mission
That's the mission, that's the mission (That's the mission)
That's the mission, that's the mission
[Outro]
You're all a bunch of fucking assholes, you know why?
You don't have the guts to be what you wanna be (Yeah, that's the mission)
You need people like me (And that's the mission, that's the mission)
(That's the mission)
Nav’s mission is for him and his partners goal of financial wealth.
This is common ambition for people who come from little to nothing, which would not be a harsh assumption as Nav is from Rexdale, one of the poorest neighbourhoods in Canada.
This could also refer to NAV’s drug dealing abilities and his constant pursuit of acquiring more “guap” or drugs.
NAV is driving under the influence. Tanqueray is a brand of gin originating from London.
The Gaza strip is a Palestinian territory that is riddled with acts of warfare daily (bombings, shootings etc.)
Here NAV uses a simile to portray the 6 – Toronto, which has area codes 416 & 647 – as a place riddled with warfare.
Rastafarians, a practice often prevalent in Jamaican and African regions, often believe in nature revitalization, as well as the supported use of marijuana. Nav is saying here that he smokes like the Rastas, who are world-famous for the copious amount of weed they consume.
Nav wants to feel like Alejandro Sosa from the movie, Scarface. “Sosa” is known for being smart and doing careful and quiet business. He was able to achieve greater heights of success than his competitors.
He could also be saying that he wishes to live like Chicago rapper Chief Keef, who often goes by the nickname Sosa. Before becoming a famous rapper Keef sold Cocaine, which fits with the verse that has come before this line.
