ASPIRE

[Mike]

Yeah

[murmurs words]

Ughn

Always coulda’ have a trick up ya’ sleeve
When I’m in a hood, I take the wisdom with me
Young world don’t get bitter or sweet
Nightmares and flashbacks, I lit up the beam with
Pick up the speed kid
I’m on my feet
If it means I gotta sleep less
There’s no defeat
I keep my street sense, even in the meetings
What’s hella’ deep
I didn’t see end, with n**gas feasting
I had to peep
This shit for keeps man, I’m in the ring
These n**gas cheating, I gotta leave
Every week, my soul is bleeding
I gotta eat
When shit was peeped, I was told to follow [?]
Who was [?] then?
My cousin told me ‘bout his shit, how he end up in the precinct
I ain’t [?] as I been getting older I been thinking on how his clean is
Living life on borrowed time, it gotta mean shit

(Outro)
[murmurs]

My days been gradually shrinking
Raised in a castle.. [?]
[?]
Work in the habit of my demons
Really on the lurk, tryna’ damage my thinking
Know me as the words attached to ya singing
[?]
