The epic intro to The Mission Back to the Terminal begins with an introduction into Jet 2's thoughts.

lyrics

[Verse 1]
They wonder where I get my inspiration?
I tell 'em, I look in the mirror
I sit and analyze just what I would like to see
It's just the life in me.
They wonder where I get my inspiration?
I'm inspired by those who did it before me
Also the ones who adore me
Although the ones who ignore me give me that motivation.
They wonder where I get my inspiration?
From inside, the kid that's on the inside
I promised that boy this time I'm a dig in deep,
Show myself that I just don't live for myself

[Verse 2]
Sittin' in the fear of shit happenin' I have no control of
What if Steve Jobs passed before he invented the Mac?
A career with that I have, started on Garageband
But look here, makin' it this far wasn't part of my plans,
Yeah I paid attention in class,
I learned more from just being there
Yeah we visit the churches,
I'm still wonderin' why we're in fear.
Yeah our hearts' clean, you can let God tell you that.
Yeah I got peers who hit the blunt to keep their mind clear
Yeah, I got a portion of spirit I feel is barely tapped,
Look myself in the eye and wonder just what I'm staring at
Look myself in the mirror, wonder just I'm feelin'
I'm feelin' there's somethin' those in position are still concealing
Bad bitches and millions are so appealing,
Conspiracy theories of a villain, slowly revealin'
That physical isolation's enough to destroy a nation,
Plus the fear of others equals lack of motivation.
Searchin' for love, a picture that society painted
That if I ain't got it in that way, it ain't it
Which is why I'm on a mission to bring to fruition this vision,
Sit and look and listen.
Dodgin' deadly pestilence
Success is in my residence
I'm imagining having the evidence
And if you see it, that's excellent
And if UC is a college,
Then my knowledge is a scholarship
My vision is a scholar,
My confidence is all kind of shit
I'm convinced I'm accomplished,
I never woke up for class
I just prayed about it then passed
Was a chemist, but hated math
Under the radar, I made a graph
Up in the quasars, I take a bath
Nigga, I made stars, I made my path
Nigga was the nice guy that never finished last
I was the calm dude that always had to spazz on the beat
'Cause I held it in so much,
Hoppin' in front of the mic, then my life I recite
'Cause I might just be helpin' the both of us
Welcome to my world,
I hope you're closed, 'cause I'm openin' up
Victory's in my arm and I'm holdin' it up
Feel the squeeze in my palm
As I slowly ease and calm
The calm before the season storm
The flight that wasn't planned before the landin'
At the Terminal that never seemed to be at home.
