The Potential
Tyga Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your host this evening
(Hey, don't throw that shit on stage)
Tonight we got a young gentleman
All the way from uhh, los Angeles
I like the way how that beat just ridespause
The guy is making his way
From Compton, California and uhh
You know, you might have seen him around
Maybe never seen him before but he
Has definitely got a lot
Of potential and he is here
To show it tonight
Picture cash baby born how the duffel bag
How to ride a moment don't
Make my temperature mad (No)
Flickin' my past admire all the
Shit that I done had
Thinkin' I'm really reppin' my
City without a flag
Carry-ons, earphones, MCM bag
Elderlies mad as we all sitting first class
Look over shoulder laugh
Family matter chatting, did I do that?
Imagine Urkel with a little swag
Barely grown and already these
Bitches gettin' old fettichini flow
Let my words twist around the folk
Make you eat it like a dyke to a lesbian
Oh, the lady will get it after the show
Oh oh, protection for sexual, ah
Ah, thought you knew, nigga I'm passive
Proof, and you lookin' broke
Got for your diamonds same color cantaloupe
My life an episode so expect a fucking show
("The potential" is repeated x5
While Tyga speaks)
I remember this one time though
When i was like 11, and
Um i use to work with this
One producer out here in LA
And he use to make me write
Shit over and over again
And I would be like damn like
I use to feel like not good enough
Like my bars wasn't ready but it wasn't
That, they just wanted the potential
That I had you know what I'm sayin'? So they
Just like kept making me
Write it over and over and shit, you feel me?
Any minute I could lose the momentum
Lord forgive all my days I have spent sinnin'
Show my momma love, with a key and red ribbon
A freedom writer even niggas up
In jail feel him
Pause, my miracle bars will leave
Your mind in prison
Now what you was thinking can't even
Think you can you nigga
New Orleans they scream for
The beads on cameras up in the dorm hours
Before performance on campus
How could you not be famous? Too
Much managers can't even manage
Shout out to at money, he do the managing
While I fresh like Irish Spring
Obviously, I'm what the crowd came to see
Tyga not Tyrese
What you can sing, every melody and on a beat
Had the beach water money fold like laundry
Honestly don't lie to me F
Uck around and write your will
Right In your drivers seat
Fucking with them GED boys
So like, years years later
They announce to me, that I
Got an opportunity and chance
And it was like, who
Wouldn't like it at first
And I thought all of that
Hard work was going to pay off
But it really didn't
Because people wasn't biting onto it
But I think they
Just knew the potential I had
But they just wanted
Better from me but thank God for listening
Everybody make some noise come on
Clap it up! The guy
Has potential i am Rodney and
I'll see you next monday night
The song "The Potential" by Tyga is a reflection of his journey to success. Throughout the song, Tyga talks about his origins as a rapper from Compton, California, his struggles and passion for music, and his dreams of becoming a successful rapper.
At the beginning of the song, a host introduces Tyga as a young rapper with a lot of potential. Tyga raps about his humble beginnings, carrying on his earphones with his MCM bag, and getting mad respect even though he doesn't wave his city's flag. He also mentions the struggles he faced in his journey to success. He was asked to rewrite his lyrics many times, and he felt like he wasn't good enough and that his bars weren't ready. However, he knew he had potential, and he kept working hard until he achieved what he desired the most.
Tyga also raps about his experiences with fame. He mentions that people couldn't help but notice him, but he was also under constant scrutiny. He had too many managers that couldn't handle his talent, and he had to rap at any given opportunity, even if it meant performing on campus before the show.
The song "The Potential" is a motivational and inspiring piece of music that encourages listeners to keep pushing towards their dreams even when the going gets tough. Tyga's drive to succeed illustrates how hard work pays off, and his struggles on the road to success show that sometimes, one must work harder than expected to achieve their dreams.

Introducción]
Soy Rodney Ramen y seré su anfitrión esta noche. (Oye, no tires esa mierda al escenario.)
Esta noche tenemos a un joven caballero que viene desde uhh, Los Ángeles.
Me gusta la forma en que ese ritmo simplemente avanza... pausa.
El tipo viene desde Compton, California. y uhh, el tipo tiene mucha arrogancia.
Sabes, es posible que lo hayas visto por ahí, tal vez nunca lo hayas visto antes. Pero definitivamente tiene mucho potencial y está aquí para demostrarlo esta noche
Presentando a Tyga Tyga
[Verso 1: Tyga]
Imagen en efectivo bebé nacido cómo la bolsa de lona
Cómo montar un momento no hagas que mi temperatura se enoje (¡No!)
Moviendo mi pasado admiro toda la mierda que hice
Pensando que realmente estoy representando mi ciudad sin bandera
Maletas de mano, audífonos, bolso MCM
Ancianos enojados mientras todos nos sentamos en primera clase
Mirar por encima del hombro reír, charlar sobre asuntos familiares, ¿hice yo eso?
Imagínate a Urkel con un poco de botín
Apenas crecido y estas perras ya envejeciendo
Fettichini fluyen, deja que mis palabras giren alrededor de la gente
Haz que te lo comas como una lesbiana a una lesbiana
Oh, la dama lo obtendrá después del espectáculo
Oh oh, protección para sexual, ah ah, pensé que lo sabías, negro. Soy una
prueba pasiva y te ves arruinado.
Conseguí tus diamantes, melón del mismo color.
Mi vida es un episodio, así que espera un puto espectáculo.
[Interludio]
("El potencial" se repite x5 mientras Tyga habla) Sin
embargo, recuerdo esta vez cuando tenía como 11 años, y
solía trabajar con este productor aquí en Los Ángeles
y solía hacerme escribir mierda. y otra vez
Y yo estaría como maldita sea. Solía sentir que no era lo
suficientemente bueno, como si mis barras no estuvieran listas. Pero no fue
eso, sólo querían el potencial que yo tenía. ¿ Sabes
lo que estoy diciendo? Así que seguían haciéndome
escribirlo una y otra vez y esa mierda, ¿me entiendes?
Verso 2
En cualquier momento podría perder el impulso
Señor, perdona todos mis días que he pasado pecando.
Muéstrale amor a mi mamá, con una llave y una cinta roja.
Un escritor de libertad, incluso los negros en la cárcel, siéntelo.
Pausa, mis barras milagrosas dejarán tu mente en prisión
Ahora lo que estabas pensando ni siquiera puedes pensar que puedes, negro
Nueva Orleans, gritan pidiendo las cuentas de las cámaras
Arriba en el dormitorio horas antes de la presentación en el campus ¿
Cómo podrías no ser famoso? Demasiados gerentes ni siquiera pueden manejar
Gritarle al dinero, él hace la administración
Mientras yo estoy fresco como Irish Spring
Obviamente, soy lo que la multitud vino a ver
Tyga no Tyrese
Lo que puedes cantar, cada melodía y en un ritmo
Tenía el agua de la playa el dinero se dobla como ropa sucia, honestamente
No me mientas Jodete
y escribe tu testamento directamente En el asiento del conductor
Follando con esos chicos de GED
[Interludio]
Entonces, años después, me anunciaron que tenía
una oportunidad y una oportunidad, y fue como, a quién
no le gustaría al principio, y pensé que todo ese
trabajo duro iba a dar sus frutos. pero en realidad no fue así,
porque la gente no lo entendió, pero creo que
sabían el potencial que tenía, pero solo querían
algo mejor de mí. Pero gracias a Dios por escuchar
[Outro]
Todos hagan algo de ruido. ¡Vamos, aplaude! El chico
tiene potencial. Soy Rodney y te veré el próximo lunes
por la noche .
