Maintain Your A​.​I​.​M

lyrics

A-I-M
A-I-M
You've got to maintain your aim

Let's get it started let me begin
Let's get it on, get it in, get it in
I dig deep and go deep within
I strike oil so I'm slick with the ting
Get it? I'm slick when I spill
This black oil I speak what I feel
In these times you don't need a deal
But to build
you do need a skill
You need thick skin
and some nerves of steal
Breathe life, speak life
when they aim to kill
Pay close attention to details
Be a student
not just full of zeal
look around
survey the field
Sharpen your sword
don't forget your shield
Know good and well
that Life gets ill
But even broken hearts can heal
Take time out to chill and be still
Don't fake deepness just be real
In this matrix
pop the red pill
Unplug from the system
It's a thrill
You better know yourself out here
That's how you find your wealth out here
You better move with stealth out here
So many lose themselves out here

Know who you are,
know your path
Speak from the heart
Freely through bars
Prepare for wounds
You will get scarred
Some will not care
You will get parred
Artistry, industry, ministry
I aim to balance all 3
Deep calls to deep
I've been called see
Maybe one day
You will all see

A-I-M
A-I-M
You've got to maintain your aim


It ain't just about art
It's a business too
It's not just that
I'm a witness too
And many get it twisted too
But soon they will get this too
Purists always say stay true
and you should
Always pay your dues
Act right
don't miss your cues
When it's time
You must follow through
It's a biz be professional
Make sure you're on your Ps & Qs
Dot you Is and cross your Ts too
Don't be anyone,
just be you
Learn 'em first
then break the rules
Don't break the law
that's different dude
Outdated formats are doomed
Stay updated and on the move
Don't let anyone label you
You tell em who you are
And stay true
Stick your guns
You'll break through
Your mind is a weapon
You'll Blaze through

You better know yourself out here
That's how you find your wealth out here
You better move with stealth out here
So many lose themselves out here

Know who you are,
man know your path
Speak from the heart
Freely through bars
Prepare for wounds
You will get scarred
Some will not care
You will get parred
Artistry, industry, ministry
I aim to balance all 3
Deep calls to deep
I'm called see
Maybe one day
You will all see

A-I-M
A-I-M
You've got to maintain your aim

Ready
Steady
Aim
Fire
