[Verse 1: The Aspiring Me] Awww shit Yall done let the wrong nigga make a fuckin' album Peep the outcome and I vouch bruh' I'll drop this and they won't get enough So am I ready for what's up? The fame and stuff I let my brain adjust I grab a swisher empty and refill it up Then I get up and head to lunch.. Cuz' I just missed breakfast Pushing that T bird so you know I'm protected Surrounded by steel behind that wheel I feel like an army veteran; in the muthafuckin' paint Think it ain't but it is young black ghetto kids Tryna get rich. shit bitch If I was you I would do Everything a muthafucka' said Give me head, hop up in the bed, Open the legs, and let a young nigga go fed Code red; I'm a pro not a novice And you'll know when you hold this So why don't you and your friends Come kick it with me and my niggas We down to bowl and chill with ya' Get a hotel and get busy We drunk as hell but still sippin' Hotel staff ain't even trippin' Now I ain't show (sure) but I'm thinkin' This life of mine that I'm livin' is pimpin' Bitch I'm [Hook: The Aspiring Me] Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole [Verse 2: The Aspiring Me] Rolled up, showed up Set this bitch on fire like a blowtorch Rock the fucking crowd gave em Mozart; that's art What you niggas thought, I'm playing? You sitting here in amazement I'm the one you gaze at and I ain't even famous Yo' bitch know my name; just make sure that you tame her She'll flee from you and run to me and I won't even bag her Yall all lookin' lame bruh' Just like these rappers that talk about the same stuff "I'm tryna save hip hop" as the watch goes tick tock They get old and as you know a young nigga get chose So I gotta look like me everywhere I go From head to toe I'm too throwed I've been doing this shit since a kid was about 12yrs old So how the fuck can you tell me I ain't fasho Ho you know I'm cold; so To all the new listeners gather round listen up About to tell the tale of a young male That was jet propelled and stayed true to himself Yep, bitch I'm! [Hook: The Aspiring Me] Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole [Verse 3: The Aspiring Me] I'm too cold if you know me there's no way you love me Plus the image that they paint of me is too disgusting But the public, they love it, my minds gutter Can't get enough of it wish they could reach out and touch it But these busters don't know nothing Just tryna break down my construction Saw em' from a mile coming cuz' they got caught lunchin' In trouble like you didn't call but missed that punch in And yo co-worker snitched and said you at that function What you gone do now? resistance is futile Got a new style with new sounds to break me across new ground Scream all aboard! Just know this train starts whenever they press record So in actuality it's like I had to run and hop on So sit back and watch the master attack the track With a swifter back slap than an Ike and Tina Turner scrap I can't rap? My words will shave a grizzly's back I'll hold the patch maintain the tame by singing just relax Yeah [Hook: The Aspiring Me] Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole Young bobby bushido super hero to negroes Surprising like the needle through the peep hole

about

On "Young Bobby Bushido," the second track of The Aspiring Me's new album, The Aspiring Me, he makes a prodigious claim: "Awww, shit. Y'all done let the wrong nigga make a fuckin' album." In and of itself, his assertion is trite and, within the context of rap music, almost definitely a cliché. But none of the singular parts of The Aspiring Me are meant to be processed "in and of themselves." Within that particular moment, The Aspiring Me simultaneously flexes the gangster traditions that guide his protons (his late father was Big Mello, an undeniable rap force that shifted southern rap's zeitgeist with his 1992 tape, Bone Hard Zaggin) over a brooding, cosmic soundscape that surmises his own forward thinking progressivism. Beyond that, the track acts as a segue between the spastic opening "Fast Livin'" and the ticky third track, "No Worries." The entire project plays out in a similarly esoteric manner, always more involved and intelligent than it would have you believe. The Aspiring Me is a grand project with a grander narrative that successfully pays homage to an almost grandiose background while establishing its own identity. Aspirations achieved, for certain.

- Shea Serrano

"so what's up? this is first. originally produced by myself with contributing work from my brothers Charles Moon and Christian Scull of 'family here eternally'. a complete in house debut album. work ranging from 2009-2012. I went through a lot of that "searching for myself" stuff; not just sonically but in the growing human nature as well, which pretty much encompasses all. I have grown since then, and still am, that's just where we called that chapter an end. I guess I would like for my music to have that mirror of human life. which is most valuable."
