Potential
Dj C-live Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah
I'm fucking tired already, tired of all this bullshit
I have so much potential, so much potential
I have so much pretend
Drowning in regret, depression at its best
All of my lies will never die, they killed my happiness inside
I just wanted to know if you could come see me
No more hidden disguises, you don't believe me

Feel the pain that I caused and I miss you dearly
Can't believe that I lost you my heart is bleeding
I have so much potential, so much potential
I have so much pretend
You got me deep in my feelings, I feel like starting over
You look good in them panties, are they from fashion nova
Came a long way from having nothing, slept on the sofa
Had depression in silence nigga, But no one noticed
But now it changed, see me out in public, everybody know my name
That's that nigga Wandy, he could rap, he on that same shit
You could throw me dirt, I'll still be shining like I'm stainless
This is for my mom, who said I'll never become famous
I'm a wear them diamond chains, regardless if it's raining
Blinding out my eyes, till I believe I really made it
Hate the fact I die inside, while my greatness is blazing
I have so much potential, so much potential
I have so much pretend, so much pretend
And ima wear them diamond chains even in the rain

And if he said I said a thang, I don't give a damn
I let my chorus say the thangs, that I really sang

And ima wear them diamond chains even in the rain
I am determined to wear my diamond chains even when it's raining

If someone claims that I have spoken about something, I genuinely do not care

I let my chorus say the thangs, that I really sang
I allow my chorus to express the things that I truly mean through my lyrics
