Aim Higher

(专辑： Generation Gaming XXV: Achievement Unlocked - 2022)

I started to rap when I was thirteen
I was kind of crap, you should have 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 point 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 going to 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 'til you can't miss

Aim higher, that's the aim 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
Aim higher, aim higher
Aim higher, aim higher
Aim higher, aim higher

When 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 AI Blumstein would study crime statistics
Every pad of lyrics I fill is an ammo bag 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 can 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 all a truth
Though technically it could be, I would need to see form of proof

Aim higher, that's the aim 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
Aim higher, aim higher
Aim higher, aim higher
Aim higher, aim higher

At thirty-five years I'm here just trying to impress the former me
Still never forget the sceptics 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 in obsidian
So if there's one thing that you can call me it's resilient
Now let's leap into gridshot, 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
Ask Mister Lab on Twitter, he'll tell you whether you're winning or lagging
Precision in rapping's been a bit lacking, so I figured I'm bringing it back in
I've a particular knack for cognition and accurate flicking and tracking
The width of a pixel's still too big, so I'm actually splitting an atom
I got a left side weakness, so I spent nights sleepless
Levelling up until my left side's seamless and you're left quite speechless
Seeing the scene, it's the best I've been thus
I know the next time that I'll beat this, reflex increasing speed, bet
That I'll be the best and beat the rest
When I bless the beat never breathe a breath
Like a beast possessed with a heaving chest, you couldn't keep abreast of
'Til police arrest me for plagiarising the cheeks of Dizzy Gillespie
Jesus wept, he's even swept the deepest depths
Of the beds of the seas, so fresh and so clean, relieving stress
Rinse and repeat 'til it's meaningless his featured guests
Have even left 'cause he keeps indefinitely speaking texts
That could even outlast priests in churches
Preaching virtuous reams of perfectly
Good words in sequenced bursts
Of machine gun bullets 'til you leave in a hearse, sheesh, what a verse!

Aim higher, that's the aim 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
Aim higher, aim higher
Aim higher, aim higher
Aim higher, aim higher
