Potential Lyrics by Aye Ray

Wasted Potential

0

[Hook x2]
I'm just wasting potential
I feel that it's essential that we keep this shit confidential
The growth is exponential, when I put it pencil
But I'm just wasting potential

[Verse 1]
In the bottom of an abyss, I hit rock bottom
Since the cops caught him, moms sent me away
I was pop's problem, I sought Autumn
I hit the spliff and rise, break 'way from my Earthly ties
I scrutinize the truth and lies, I'll euthanize the youth in the booth to get signed
They spoofin' the grind, I utilize my new disguise
I'm the spittin' the truth in my rhymes
It's evident that I'm intelligent, negligent and a detriment
Etiquette is indefinite, excellent in my elegance
Sediment settles settlements, sentiment is irrelevant
There's a deficit, I'm a pessimist, hear the rest of this
I got all this fuckin' potential, it's buildin' up inside me
But I don't give a fuck about anything else, beside me
I dare a nigga to try me, I'm heating up in the zone
I wish you'd pick up the phone, you know I hate feeling alone
But look at how much we've grown, I hate when you use that tone
I'm tryna bring home the throne

[Hook x2]
I'm just wasting potential
I feel that it's essential that we keep this shit confidential
The growth is exponential, when I put it pencil
But I'm just wasting potential

[Verse 2]
I always wonder why no bitch will date me, when I wouldn't date myself
I'm chillin' here until I expire, I'm on the clearance shelf
I'm tryna acquire wealth, keep it lowkey, require stealth
Have you ever looked in the mirror, and didn't like what you see?
Staring, disappointed 'cause you're not what you thought what you would be?
I aspire to inspire an empire, so I could retire with a family that admires the way that I'm spittin' fire
I'm speeding through this shit, burning rubber, that's why these niggas feel tired
I'm a time bomb, but you never took the time to see how I'm wired
In a sense, I lost my innocence in a sec, when I intercepted a message that wasn't intended my younger senses
I'm a nobody, fuck a census, I never follow consensus
Never knew what consent is, the Feds will dollar and cent us
After a cell they sent us, everyone knows what that scent is
Now Momma askin' where rent is? I didn't think that she meant it
But she knew where I spent it

[Hook x2]
I'm just wasting potential
I feel that it's essential that we keep this shit confidential
The growth is exponential, when I put it pencil
But I'm just wasting potential
