Dan Bull - Aim Higher lyrics

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
Regardlеss just harness the power


In your hеart
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

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

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
