Aspirations Cypher

I used to dream that nothing was impossible

Now it feels like my aspirations aren't plausible

I'm just a kid, I'm too damn irresponsible

Graduating from college, that's inconceivable

And I'm just 18, but the world won't let me reach my goal

But I ain't giving up yet, my future is not yet foretold

And I just need to find a way to grab hold

Gather these thoughts in a rhyme so people scream along

To feel like I'm going to a place where I might actually belong

Where a woman can take her rhymes and smear them on stages

I want to headline a show without the need to be outrageous

But these industry fucks just see that we are courageous

We just need to be let out of our cages, to do our thing

To see that the LGBT community is capable of anything

And everything, if we just set our minds to it, keep from vanishing

But in a world so homophobic, I find it's more just wishing

Upon a star, on a dream at night, a thought menacing

That maybe I'll become a star, maybe I will go so far

Maybe I'll be on stages, jumping in the crowd with disregard

For my safety, as long as the fans got me, I'm safe, you see

But I doubt it will ever happen, the risk of being LGBT

In this damn hip-hop community.
