D.A. - Lost Potential lyrics
Ray Rife Uh Work wit me And this the lightest sh** I ever wrote (Verse) Turn my back to all the danger I ain't scared of nothin I'm starin all through Medusa Why fear her eyes? For being stoned I'm kind of used to Not talking bout weed, I'm talkin stuck in the moment, appalled by what We callin a freedom I see condonin' Now, who's to trust in the beginning? Friends want you to fail Or even worse, God's givin us hell I pre-vail, it could improve but I fair well When I farewell, please tell the truth about my tale, uh Triple entendre you missed it so never mind it My plans to explode to the top don't undermine it I'm sicker than vomit that came from the pains of a llama Allergic to tonic that over drank on dirty vodka, uh I appreciate the complicated ways of life If it were easy I'd be greedy for things I never liked To desire something is simple, to attain requires work And you know you really want it when it hurts, uh I always had the sk**, but practice never happened Like how I'm supposed to practice silly rappin? If I dont improve my craft, then I don't deserve to have it And hard work will be the talent when its pa**ion doesnt match it Thats Real sh**, I'm going crazy and bettin' against them odds Comin from so afar but I'm closer than a mirage Big dreams of marchin' on Martians that live on Mars And shootin for solar wars, while you aimin' shots at the stars, uh Speakin of shootin, I'm tired of these fraudy n***as Talkin the hardest sh** off softer liquor They get a little buzz, but for their image try to stunt, talkin guns When they drier than a nun, those are cannons I could hardly picture Real quick, I would like to give some gratitude To Ms. Karen what you showed to me's incredible I know you see your son he's a graduate too We takin' care of him, know that you'd be proud of him too uh My brother Tim, I know you listenin' One more thing about her I wanna tell you She was the person that inspired me to spit it more than I was givin Under her condition she kept livin just how she want to live it A strength from within thats unmatched, I'm so thankful for that Now my heart is harder to crack How can it be, that we commemorate the lost memories? Lets get the candles lit, spark the cannibus, in a canopy And let our thoughts grace the gates of the heavens Any problems we solve em, no floppin like James Harden I need to score harder, so the team can go farther I would never shave points I leave that job to my barber Saints roll with the demons Love can't live without evil but which role are you leadin? Followers, follow followers where did all of the leaders go? Can you see this smoke, kids breathe and choke? That's why the inferior defeat us Talkin under they breath, by the system now annoyed But they'ont fathom the power that's in their voice I seen peer pressure make feared gestures too possible Influence the ma**es with habits only fit for hospitals Why talk bout hopin I make it, when I know I'll make it? A few know, just give some time til the rest awaken Im sorry, you're uncomfortable with my confidence But would you rather me to be co*ky by all the compliments? I gotta talk to the youth, I hope they give a listen Their generation's based off our decisions So many voices in the world, rarely speakin to our children Just wanna instill in them, that music, d**, and ball Huh.. Ain't the only way to make a livin Its Rife
