(we're on a mission) --> salt-n-pepa

[ verse 1 ]

Oh well, what the heck, i just cleaned up the mess
Opened up the closet, got the bullet-proof west
Loaded up the sawed-off, the double-barrel

Threw on the trench, kissed the girl good-bye
She said, "special ed, don't go, you might die"
Started cryin and huggin on me, so i shut her
I said, "sorry baby, but i gotta do what i gotta

Do what i gotta

This is a mission, not a small-time thing

In particular the name of lu chin chen
Yo, i landed in japan with intent to kill



You could tell i wasn't jokin by the look on my grill
Took a look at the picture of the man that i was after
A 5 foot 10 black-belt karate master
Knew wh
