Lời bài hát 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
