Potential
D.M.A. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some ppl want to put me into a vase
Judgmental people but there is no open case
Breaking me down to stop my steady pace
Asking God give me full potential
Tired of these people with their dumb essentials
Can't control my central or my mental
Come on God unlock my full potential
Ok I'm tired of the haters taking over
All they have is negatives as a closer
I don't care if you see me as a left over
I'm getting surrounded feeling to crowded
Demons try to keep me grounded feel like I'm fighting them by the thousand
Standing over me like you got some power
I'm not a weak soul that you can just devour
Because God gave me something more than just manpower
I know who I am can't control my thoughts
Not your robot can't make me connect yo dots
Mouth like a gunshot hit yo brain in the right spot
Your gonna burn by a man on a cross
Then your in hell ready for eternal rot
All my enemies in my face
Some ppl want to put me into a vase
Judgmental people but there is no open case
Breaking me down to stop my steady pace
Asking God give me full potential
Tired of these people with their dumb essentials
Can't control my central or my mental
Come on God unlock my full potential
Went through a lot within myself
Do not compare me to nobody else
Bloody red tears you can see the damage delt
People say yea they can understand
I know the demons can hear what I said
Can't hit the key point that is all up in my head
All this power in just this one body
Getting foggy hands to the sky
Feeling drowsy floating in the earth demons cannot stop me
This my full potential this ain't no temp
God give me a lift don't call him a myth
Ain't it funny that a little shrimp defeats the devil in a different time rift
Time for me to not to be quiet coming out the closet
Spirit knows more than just yo logic
Driving for the one shot call me magic Johnson
I'm fighting for more than just one purpose
Hard times full potential just not for one person
All my enemies in my face
Some ppl want to put me into a vase
Judgmental people but there is no open case
Breaking me down to stop my steady pace
Asking God give me full potential
Tired of these people with their dumb essentials
Can't control my central or my mental
Come on God unlock my full potential

Another fantastic video, Rob! Thanks for continuing to educate us in a fun way. The mention of Von Neumann took me back to 1996 when I was studying Electrical and Electronic Engineering at KCL. Damn, I really wish I'd put my degree to better use - I'm glad you are though!
