Potential
MOSA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got all the potential inside you to make me wanna get inside you
If I didn't wanna be beside you then baby I wouldn't of tried to
Tried to show you the little things I do that's better than your crush from high school
I meant everything that I just told you like I got my hand on the Bible
You got all the potential inside to make me wanna be inside you
If I didn't wanna be beside you then baby I wouldn't of tried to
Tried to show you the little things I do that's better than your crush from high school
Don't keep acting like I am your rival I'm just tryna fuck with no title
I guess this time I'm taking the high road
I gotta make moves all on my own
I taught you everything that I know but that's just a side note
I got mixed feelings like Pico de gallo
Mosa the baby but I'm not a child
I plan on being single this time for a while
She's not ready to live in this lifestyle so I just gave her ass a trial
Keeping tabs on where my heart been at girl I feel like my heart got a tile
Need you wrapped around my arms like a bracelet but right now my arms kinda tired
Can we vibe for a minute
Can we vibe for a minute
I might lie to some bitches
But I try for some women
We both way too grown who am I to be kidding
My feelings just don't show they don't try to be hidden
You always tweeting on the internet
And I ain't into that
Can you please put an end to that
Forget about her like it's men in black
Can we just smash with no strings attached
You always threw it back can you bring it back
I'm respected by some niggas who got real ties
He's a lame nigga when will you just realize

You got all the potential inside you to make me wanna get inside you
If I didn't wanna be beside you then baby I wouldn't of tried to
Tried to show you the little things I do that's better than your crush from high school
Don't keep acting like I am your rival I'm just tryna fuck with no title
You got all the potential inside to make me wanna be inside you
If I didn't wanna be beside you then baby I wouldn't of tried to
Tried to show you the little things I do that's better than your crush from high school

I meant everything that I just told you like I got my hand on the Bible
You got all the potential
You got all the potential




You got all the potential
You got all the potential

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of MOSA's song 'Potential' talk about a relationship between two people where one person sees real potential in the other. This person is trying to convince the other that they should be together, and that they have what it takes to make a real relationship work. They believe that the other person has all the potential inside them to make them want to be with them and they wouldn't have tried if they didn't want to be with them. The first verse talks about trying to show the person that they are better than their crush from high school, implying that the other person has some doubts or insecurities about themselves. The second verse talks about the person not being ready to be in a relationship and that the singer just wants to "smash with no strings attached." The chorus repeats that the person has all the potential and the singer meant everything they said like they "got their hand on the Bible."


Overall, the song reflects the struggles and complexities of modern dating, where there is often a lot of mixed feelings and difficulties in getting together with someone. The song showcases the desire to have a physical relationship without commitment, but with the hope of something more developing over time. The idea of a person having potential is common in relationships, but this song explores this idea in detail, showing the power dynamics at play and the uncertainty that can come with trying to get someone to see their own worth.
