Shameika

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 crashed cymbals
 In class, I passed the time
 Drawing a slash for every time
 The second hand went by a group of
 Five, ten, twelve times is a minute
 But Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential

 I used to march down the windy, windy sidewalk
 Slapping my leg with the 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
 In class, I passed the time
 Drawing a slash for every time
 The second hand went by a group of
 Five, ten, twelve times is a minute
 But Shameika said I had potential

 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo
 That's my burden, my dream
 My dog, and my man
 And my music is my holy trinity
 Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo
 That's my burden, my dream
 My dog, and my man
 And my music is my holy trinity
 Tony told me he described 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
