The Potential

Picture cash baby born how the duffle bag

How to ride a moment don't

Make my temperature mad

Flickin' my past admire all the sh*t that I had

Thinkin' I'm really reppin' my city without a flag

Carry-ons earphones MCM bag

Elderlies mad as we all sittin' first class

Look over shoulder laugh

Family matter chattin did I do that

Imagine Erkel with a little swag

Betty groaning already these b**ches 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 ni**a I'm passive proof

And you lookin' broke

Got for your diamonds same color can'taloupe

My life an episode so expect a f**kin' show

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 sh*t 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 sh*t you feel me

Any minute I could lose the momentum

Lord forgive all my days I have spent sinning

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 ya ni**a

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**k around

And write your wheel right in your drivers seat

F**king with them G E D 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

Outro

Everybody make some noise

Come on clap it up clap it up

The guy has potential

I am Rodney and

I'll see you next monday night
