Potential
ill Snek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I act like I'm tough but i can't cope with the hurt
If I died right now would it fix all the hurt
Man I been wasting my potential on the bud and the percs
I want it more when they say no man I don't get how that works
But I've burning through my chances
You can't get me to work
Let's just drown I'll go first
I steal some pills from her purse
And then i dip to the hearse
Ok let's rock out
Man I've been gone for too long
And I don't really know that bitch
That's why i hide My phone
I know my skin fair
But man the kid got tone
And no it's not fair
How they won't let me blow
I'm in the top tier but still ain't got no hope
I'm undereducated man so i do is get stoned
Can't let her stay round long enough to learn the sound of the phone
You know I've learned a lot this year that's why I'm mindin' my own
I can't trust these stupid bitches cus they ain't got no goals
Some gold up in my mouth it catch the light when i talk
Some chains to clink together hear the sound when i walk
All these people buying weed to roll that shit up with chalk
But everything i do is Raw man from my smile to my socks
Can't entertain nobody like me with the shit that you barf
So hard to find the right beat you know I've been on the hunt
Got anger issues when I'm mad Its like Attila the Hun
I'm killin' everybody with this truth
i do that every single time I'm in the booth
I'm Don and i been locked up all alone inside a tomb
Wake up then smoke then work then fuck then eat some fuckin' food
And I Don't know bout Travis I'm the highest in my room
These pills just make me shitty i don't wanna be that dude
And if u trust me please be careful cuz i ain't got shit to lose
I'm crying to momma cuz i don't know what to do
Got time to shine but first i need to some sort of fucking fuel

The song ends on a somber note, with the artist expressing a desperate need to find some sort of fuel to help him move forward.
