Mission
R.O.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't want to be held down
I want to get off the couch
I want to find a new sound
I want to step outside
I want to say I'm alive
I'm on a mission, I'm on a mission
Courtesy of a condition
Is something that you can't see
I'm just looking for a better way
I'm on this mission because of my condition
And its the only thing I can see
Don't want to try hard to be something
Just want to let it come naturally
I can only see one thing and that's
A bright future for me
Cause you're my friends I hope you'll
Never think again about my intentions on this stage
Its not just what I say but its what I believe
And now the only thing I now is get up & go
And find my destiny
I'm on a mission, I'm on a mission
Courtesy of a condition
I've got a vision, I've got a vision
Of all the things we can do together
The main theme of R.O.D's song Mission revolves around his strong desire to break free from restrictions and limitations imposed upon him, and to make a name for himself by discovering his unique sound/message. Throughout the song, the trap artist voices his need to get off the couch, step outside, and experience life to the fullest by finding his true calling. R.O.D is driven by a force that he refers to as a condition, which motivates him to pursue his dreams no matter what.
The phrase "Courtesy of a condition" is repeated several times, strongly emphasizing its significance and meaning to the artist. R.O.D is trying to send out the message that everyone has a "condition" that sets them apart from others, and it is up to them to discover and utilize it to their benefit. He also mentions the importance of embracing one's individuality and not trying too hard to be something that one is not; instead, he urges his listeners to let their talents come naturally to them.
Although R.O.D acknowledges the presence of his friends in his life, he makes it clear that his mission is solely driven by his own beliefs and faith in himself. He is willing to take on this journey and find his true destiny with the hope of inspiring others along the way. The song ends with R.O.D expressing his vision of achieving greatness together by using his unique talent and individuality.
