Song lyrics
I used to walk down the streets
On my way to school
Grinding my teeth to a rhythm invisible.
I used my feet to crush dead leaves like they had fallen from trees
Just for me, just to be crash cymbals.
[Pre-Chorus:]
In class, I'd pass the time
Drawing a slash for every time
The second hand went by a group of five,
Done twelve times was a minute but
[Chorus:]
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential.
[Verse 2:]
I used to march down the windy, windy sidewalks
Slapping my leg with a riding crop,
Thinking it made me come off so tough.
I didn't smile, because a smile always seemed rehearsed,
I wasn't afraid of the bullies, and that just made the bullies worse.
[Pre-Chorus:]
In class, I'd pass the time
Drawing a slash for every time
The second hand went by a group of five,
Done twelve times was a minute but
[Chorus:]
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential.
[Bridge:]
Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo,
That's my bird in my tree,
My dog and my man and my music is my holy trinity.
Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo,
That's my bird in my tree,
My dog and my man and my music is my holy trinity.
[Verse 3:]
Tony told me he'd describe me as pissed off, funny, and warm,
Sebastian said I'm a good man in a storm,
Back then I didn't know what potential meant,
And Shameika wasn't gentle and she wasn't my friend but
She got through to me and I'll never see her again,
She got through to me and I'll never see her again.
I'm pissed off, funny, and warm,
I'm a good man in a storm,
And when the fall is torrential, I'll recall
[Chorus:]
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential.
[Verse 4:]
Tony told me he'd describe me as pissed off, funny, and warm,
Sebastian said I'm a good man in a storm,
Back then I didn't know what potential meant,
And Shameika wasn't gentle and she wasn't my friend but
She got through to me and I'll never see her again,
She got through to me and I'll never see her again.
I'm pissed off, funny, and warm,
I'm a good man in a storm,
And when the fall is torrential, I'll recall
[Chorus:]
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential,
Shameika said I had potential.
