Potential Lyrics

Stop, wait a minute

'Cause it's been a hot minute

I've been working on my songs seemingly nonstop

With a break here and there to recover so my thoughts aren't outta stock

Got quite a lot to say

As per usual, I'm writing in the day

'Cause the night's

What I'm trying to assign

As my "what's my state of mind" time

That's a lie, it's going ok

Now that's a crime to myself

Pick up the pace

'Cause you know I'm gonna save face

The best of my ability may never show

But I can guarantee that you'll behold

Something pretty darn close

Open and close

Simultaneously, please

I'm working hard to better set their understanding of my meanings on a podium

I'm showing 'em a world that may strike bells they've heard before

Till I can forge a way to say the things that grace my mind

And don't confine inside

So that I don't have to explain anytime I decide to fly

A little higher than they could've surmised

In my own time

So I'll play this little game of wait

And wait is what I will

I bet I woulda willed it different had I chances for a say

But I prayed, so I still have a way to gain hope on a bad day

Kinetic energy is something already in motion

It may look like I'm a-going, likely years before I'm noticed, though

So I'll just watch and learn, I'm picking up on all the new tricks

I don't have a mind of business but I'm working on my music 'cause it's

Helped me in my pain, got me through days, I can't explain

I had a spark, it's now a flame, and I don't think this as a game

No underestimating me, I'm not a big shot but you'll see

That I could help if you'd just listen

Otherwise, the music's useless

I ain't found my own sound yet

I don't sweat

'Cause you know I'm working on it

(Soundcheck)

I am in that nameless emotion I get

When I'm caught up in some music that I can relate with

Been wording my thoughts in such a way since I was eight

I write a line that comes to mind and then realize that's it's from mine

I ain't the type to open to anyone 'bout what I've been through

So I put it in my Notes and think about how it could get to

Maybe other people who have repercussions similar

To what I have so they now have an outlet to let out the hurt

I know it's worked for me, man, I can't tell you all the moments

I was hopeless, then I listened to some music and I noticed

It ain't just about the sounds that move your soul, but that's a part

It's all about the message that's delivered to the heart

I now know a few instruments but truly the first one I learned

Was words, I've rhymed and rapped and now I'm using it to earn

A healthy mindset, it's my coping mechanism, this I know

'Cause art is an expression, and now my pain is shown

My doubt's telling me I don't got quality or flow

He says that I don't have the things it takes to go

Yeah, no kidding

That's just how I'm living

I am just giving you people what I have been giving

Make for me a name, I don't think that I can

Dropping a bomb, I don't care where it lands

As long as the impact is bigger than man

Can tell what He wants, just don't know all the plans

Learn as I go, and it's all just so grand

Doing this job like "look mom, no hands

Self-motivated, ask me where I stand

The foundation's strong, you won't find any sand

Always show my passion when I find the chance

When I saw that I could, there's no walking, I ran

They hear the beat coming, but don't hear it drop yet

It's 'cause I haven't quite reached the peak of my skill set

And maybe I never will, but I'll keep on learning

'Cause skills not a purchase, no, you got to earn it

I'm writing so many songs to improve, it's torrential

The quantity's how I'll become differential

This music is helping me too, it's essential

You don't get the beat drop, but feel the potential

The flame has been lit, see the spark from the kindle

I don't got it yet, but you feel the potential

I don't got it yet, but you feel the potential

I don't got it yet, but you feel the
