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 crash cymbals |
| 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 Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| 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 |
| 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 Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| Shameika said I had potential |
| 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 |
| But 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 |
| 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 |
