lyrics

"See My Potential"

(Verse 1)
Ok started from the bottom dreamin' of the top,
I wanted to be the hottest and I swore I'd never stop,
Take my mama to a mansion and my niggas off the block,
Buy my girl all she's askin' and put diamonds in my watch,
Niggas used to speak of Top like I was destined to fail,
'Cause where I'm from most black males either dead or in jail,
When I first started rappin' they were givin' me hell,
'Cause I wore thick glasses and tucked in my shirt tail,
Now I'm grindin' like I'm 'sposed to be rhymin' like a dope MC,
Same cats who blowed on me now wanna get close to me,
Few people roll with me and I'll tell you why,
Same ones who'll build you up will tear you down when it's time,
And I only need supporters honest people in my corner,
If something's wrong they'll give me heads up like a quarter,
But more important than them or havin' any friends,
Is I believe in myself and never give in, man

(Chorus)
It's astounding everybody doubt me,
They talkin' like they know but they don't know this about me,
I'm a go getta, real go getta,
I may been born to lose but, baby, I'ma die a winner,
My potential my potential,
No no no they don't see my potential no!
My potential my potential,
But, baby, I always believed in my potential oh!

(Verse 2)
Put my mind to it and I know I can do it,
Givin' up the surest way for your success to be ruined,
Hell, I hated college everything about it is stupid,
But droppin' out just to do music? That seems more foolish,
Everybody and they mama rap if not they make the tracks,
Gettin' a degree to me'll help me stand out from the pack,
I know the facts my favorite rappers are dropouts,
But they won the lottery I'd be stuck at my mom's house,
I've wrestled in my mind 'bout how I spent my time,
On this college boy grind instead of writin' rhymes,
Like damn all this energy gettin' my bachelors,
I could be goin' after bein' superstar rapper,
But as years passed I stayed in the class,
Findin' time when I can to scribble jams in this pad,
Teacher told me recently he'd doubt I'd last in the past,
Now I'm glad that hater saw the potential I had yeah

(Chorus)

(Verse 3)
Never let somebody try to kill of your dreams,
Keep doin' your thing no matter how hard it may seem,
Look in the mirror all you should see's a king or a queen,
I said the whole's world mine it's yours too just believe,
See, life can get rough but you gotta stay tough,
If you're down look up we'll get through this stuff,
'Cause nothin' last forever rainy days get wetter,
Before a change of weather that's real game to remember,
Put your life in your work family and your faith,
Whoever you call God'll make sure that you're straight,
I ain't promisin' steak or a house by the lake,
But if you're focus is great I'm sure you'll love your fate,
This for my listeners students and the prisoners,
9-to-5ers hustlers whose grind may be sinister,
No I'm not a minister preach? Ha! fuck that I teach,
Bein' firm in your beliefs to whoever I reach peace

(Chorus)
