YOU BECOME THE TARGET | Original Spoken Word & Hip-Hop

Yeah… Take your best shot. Aim for the heart. But if you miss… Don’t blame the target. Take your best shot, aim straight for the heart, Off the mark, now you don’t know where to start. It’s dark, you missed, target on the move, Now you’re looking for a reason, something left to prove. You become the target when the anger turns around, Funny how the hunter ends up hunted by the sound. Conflict, confusion, misunderstanding, Take-off feels easy, but the landing’s demanding. You can run from the scene, You can hide from the blame, But you can’t outrun yourself When you’re carrying your name. Aim for the heart — Don’t aim for the pain. Take your best shot — But know what you’re aiming. You can point the finger, You can call it a fight, But everything you do Leaves a trace in the night. Aim for the heart. Stop pretending, I can see what you’re defending. When I feel vulnerable, That’s when I think I’m invincible. Armour gets heavy When you wear it every day, Build a wall around the wound, Then forget why it was placed. Everything is traceable, Trace it to the origin. Back to the beginning, Back to where it all begins. Back to the roots, Back before the excuses, Back before the anger, Back before the abuses. Before you know it, That weight becomes a burden. Now you’re on your feet, Trying to figure out what you’re worth. Aim for the heart — Don’t aim for the pain. Take your best shot — But know what you’re aiming. You can point the finger, You can call it a fight, But everything you do Leaves a trace in the night. Aim for the heart. It’s all happening Inside a single heartbeat. One thought. One choice. One move. Repeat. What comes before the root? The seed. What comes before the deed? The choice. What comes before the choice? The voice. And that’s the part Nobody wants to hear. Because sometimes the enemy ain’t standing over there. Sometimes you’re fighting what you carry inside. Sometimes your biggest battle is the place where you hide. It’s easier to forgive… Still hard to forget. But holding onto anger ain’t paying off the debt. You want revenge? Take your best shot. You want peace? Know when to stop. Because courage isn’t winning every fight that you start. Sometimes courage is admitting… You missed the mark. Aim for the heart. Aim for the truth. Aim for the part of you that nobody sees through. No more pretending. No more disguise. Trace it back far enough and you’ll recognise… You are responsible for your own deeds. You planted the seed. Now you’re watching what it breeds. Nothing to prove. No target to blame. Just you… Standing in front of your name. Take your best shot. Aim for the heart. … And if you miss?
