GOAL

There are so many things I can do and be,

But I better put a plan in place y'all see?

My future sorta seems distant,

But I'm headed there now, this instant.

I make goals, not like soccer,

So my dreams aren't blocked, Ibaka.

My goals aren't vague and undefined,

Or off in the future, when I have the time.

They're not pipe dreams, hopes and wishes,

Those goals could leave me cold as Christmas.

No, I set a goal I can start,

And I make sure that my goal is SMART.

Is it specific, can I measure it?

Can I act on it, is it realistic?

Tonight I plan to date Hermione,

That's not realistic, but at least it's timely.

 

Oh you don't dream? It's simple, nothing fancy,

I've got my back-up options down from plan A to plan Z.

My goal is real specific, I can measure it and do it,

Yeah it's SMART, ending soonish, something I can follow through with.

So if you've got a big goal like wealth or happiness,

Break it down small, let's see what's happening.

Like: I want to do well in math,

So I can go to college, take a coding class.

I get specific — in Algebra I,

I need a B+ even if it's not fun.

Can I measure it? My report card

Will tell me if I hit my goal or not.

Actionable — What do I have to do

To make sure that my goal comes true?

I set aside one hour every night,

For math homework and studying, right.

Is it realistic? It just might

Be the most realistic goal I've set in my life.

Make it timely — I set a deadline,

Six weeks to make that B+ mine.

Yuh, I apply this method,

To all kinds of goals I'm setting:

Who I want to date, what I want to weigh, team I want to make,

Money that I want to have, and for me that's a ton of cake.

So I plan and save up,

Make my financial game tough.

Set SMART goals that's an acronym,

I'mma work, go bring the hook back again.

 

You don't dream? It's simple, nothing fancy,

I've got my back-up options down from plan A to plan Z.

My goal is real specific, I can measure it and do it,

Yeah it's SMART, ending soonish, something I can follow through with.
