Take a piece of paper
A pencil
And write it down
That's an idea
Now tell the world what you found
You've gotta stand up tall and make a real big sound
When they challenge you
Be ready to stand your ground
Because you can't get discouraged when someone else proves you wrong
They may see things different depending on where they're from
And where one idea ends
Another begins
The best part is having ideas again and again and again
That's how I started out sharing songs with my friends
Spending my free time spilling all this ink from a pen
On weekends
And work days
And every day of the week
I had my headphones in my ears
Playing beats on repeat
Yeah I was so focused on sounding like everyone else
I can find the melody but I had yet to find myself
But I knew I was destined to make noise
Then that noise turned into music
Once I finally found my voice, yeah
And it's amazing how so much has changed
Everything is different but it all feels the same
The only thing I want to do is entertain
And I can go without the lights
Cameras and the fame
I'm just trying to find a way out of my pain
State of mind insane
But I know I can't complain
Because I want who I am
To live up to my name
And one day say I'm proud of the man that I became
Take aim
I don't want to stay in one lane
Dragging a ball and a chain
To my grave
Take aim
I'd rather lay in the shade
And stay up all night and star gaze
As I fade away in between
My day to day
And my dreams
And I pray it's all that it seems
To be
To me
Take Aim
I wish I could paint a perfect picture of all that I see
And I wish I could make you believe
That anything is possible when you set your mind free
As I drift away in between
A reality in my dreams
And I'm hoping it's all that it seems
To be
To me
And it's amazing how so much has changed
Everything is different but it all feels the same
The only thing I want to do is entertain
And I can go without the lights
Cameras and the fame
I'm just trying to find a way out of my pain
State of mind insane
But I know I can't complain
Because I want who I am to live up to my name
And one day say I'm proud of the man that I became
Take aim
Take Aim
This is the moment that I've been waiting for, isn't it
Take aim
Yeah it's funny how nothing turns out the way I envision it
In the same city
Sleeping on the same couch
I still haven't moved myself out of my parents' house
Got the same bank accounts
But money's not the focus
And it takes more than paper to make everybody notice that I
Don't want to stand out in the crowd no more
And nobody can tell me to turn it down no more
I'm not in the background no more
So you can expect to see me around much more
I'm gone
This the only road that I'm on
And I don't know where it goes
But it's the path that I choose
And I'm gone
And I'm gonna keep moving on
Until I finally find a place where I feel I belong
And I'm gone
And i'm gone
Take Aim
And everything is different but it all feels the same
Take Aim
And I can go without the lights
Cameras, and the fame
Take Aim
I want who I am to live up to my name
Take Aim
And one day say I'm proud of the man that I became
Take Aim
