Aim Higher - Dan Bull

I started to rap when I was thirteen

I was kinda crap, you shoulda heard me

So it at first seemed like an absurd dream

But let me tell you what a certain three-letter word means

Aim, the intention of achieving

The ambition or wish in which you have been believing

Aim, a plan or a specific purpose

Something that stops you from feeling adrift and worthless

Aim, to put your weapon at your target

You set your sights on and strike at it with a hard hit

You might not be the sharpest marksman on the market

But you’re not so dumb, you know you can overcome your hardships

You’re gonna finish it even if you didn’t start it

Regardless just harness the power in your heart

Whether your aim is to make it through the day or to the stars

Just keep on taking pops at your target till you can’t miss

Aim higher, that’s the name of the game

Whether you shoot for the stars or are just training your brain

You always aim higher, that’s the aim of the game

Train under the sunshine and the same in the rain, can always

Aim higher, aim higher, nah

Aim higher, aim higher, yeah

Aim higher, aim higher, yeah

Aim higher, aim higher, nah

But I’m wondering, can I hit it? Then I just study the analytics

As if I was a big fan of cricket, can you tell I’m English? And I’m British

Study rhymes like Al Blumstein and study crime statistics

lyrics is an ammo-backed ballistic

There is no magic mystic trick to this, I’m just a manic misfit

Practicing so much it’s practically masochistic

To get this damn prestigious you don’t have to be prodigious

Just relentlessly, religiously release, refusing to relinquish

It’s in your interest to impress the former you

And keep repeating until all the former yous can form a queue

Every day you level up, you’re born anew like morning dew

More than you could ever imagine so grab your waterproofs

Get in the lab and start breaking balls and shoot for the moon

In order to get a performance boost, rewarding you with immortal youth

Disclaimer that’s a metaphor and not at all the truth

Though technically it could be, I would need to see some form of proof

Aim higher, that’s the name of the game

Whether you shoot for the stars or are just training your brain

You always aim higher, that’s the aim of the game

Train under the sunshine and the same in the rain, can always

Aim higher, aim higher, nah

Aim higher, aim higher, yeah

Aim higher, aim higher, yeah

Aim higher, aim higher, nah

Five years, I’m here just tryna impress the former me

Still never forget the skeptics or the friends that have supported me

It took me one decade to get a hundred K experience

Then it took another one to make a million

Now I’m eyeing up that billion, there’s diamond and obsidian

So if there’s one thing that you can call me, it’s resilient

Now, let’s sleep at the grit shop, let’s see what this kid’s got

Let’s see if he can direct a big shot like he was a sequel to Hitchcock

Catch Mr on Twitter, he’ll tell you whether you winning

Precision in rapping’s been a bit lacking so I’m thinking of bringing it back

and

and I keep tracking

The width of a pixel’s still too big so I’m actually splitting an atom

I’ve got so I spend nights sleepless, leveling up seamless

And you’re left quite speechless it’s the best I’ve been

next time that I’ll beat this reflex, increasing speed, bet

That I’ll be the best to beat the rest what a bless to be, never be depressed

Like a beast possessed with you gotta keep

police arrest me for plagiarizing the Dizzy Gillespie

Jesus wept, he’s even swept the deepest depths to the bed of the sea

relieving stress, rinse and repeat till it’s meaningless

His featured guests have even left 'cause he keeps indefinitely speaking text

He could even outlast priests and churches preaching virtuous dreams

Of perfectly good words and sequences bursts of machine gun bullets

Woo

Aim higher, that’s the name of the game

Whether you shoot for the stars or are just training your brain

You always aim higher, that’s the aim of the game

Train under the sunshine and the same in the rain, can always

Aim higher, aim higher, nah

Aim higher, aim higher, yeah

Aim higher, aim higher, yeah

Aim higher, aim higher, nah
