Aye Ray - Potential lyrics

[Hook x2] I'm just wasting potential I feel that it's essential that we keep this sh** confidential The growth is exponential, when I put it pencil But I'm just wasting potential [Verse 1] In the bottom of an abyss, I hit rock bottom Since the cops caught him, moms sent me away I was pop's problem, I sought Autumn I hit the spliff and rise, break 'way from my Earthly ties I scrutinize the truth and lies, I'll euthanize the youth in the booth to get signed They spoofin' the grind, I utilize my new disguise I'm the spittin' the truth in my rhymes It's evident that I'm intelligent, negligent and a detriment Etiquette is indefinite, excellent in my elegance Sediment settles settlements, sentiment is irrelevant There's a deficit, I'm a pessimist, hear the rest of this I got all this f**in' potential, it's buildin' up inside me But I don't give a f** about anything else, beside me I dare a n***a to try me, I'm heating up in the zone I wish you'd pick up the phone, you know I hate feeling alone But look at how much we've grown, I hate when you use that tone I'm tryna bring home the throne [Hook x2] I'm just wasting potential I feel that it's essential that we keep this sh** confidential The growth is exponential, when I put it pencil But I'm just wasting potential [Verse 2] I always wonder why no b**h will date me, when I wouldn't date myself I'm chillin' here until I expire, I'm on the clearance shelf I'm tryna acquire wealth, keep it lowkey, require stealth Have you ever looked in the mirror, and didn't like what you see? Staring, disappointed 'cause you're not what you thought what you would be? I aspire to inspire an empire, so I could retire with a family that admires the way that I'm spittin' fire I'm speeding through this sh**, burning rubber, that's why these n***as feel tired I'm a time bomb, but you never took the time to see how I'm wired In a sense, I lost my innocence in a sec, when I intercepted a message that wasn't intended my younger senses I'm a nobody, f** a census, I never follow consensus Never knew what consent is, the Feds will dollar and cent us After a cell they sent us, everyone knows what that scent is Now Momma askin' where rent is? I didn't think that she meant it But she knew where I spent it [Hook x2] I'm just wasting potential I feel that it's essential that we keep this sh** confidential The growth is exponential, when I put it pencil But I'm just wasting potential
