Shameika

[00:09.65] I used to walk down the streets
[00:11.55] On my way to school
[00:13.03] Grinding my teeth to a rhythm invisible
[00:16.68] I used my feet to crush dead leaves
[00:19.04] Like they had fallen from trees
[00:20.59] Just for me, just to be crashed cymbals
[00:24.62] In class, I passed the time
[00:26.24] Drawing a slash for every time
[00:27.78] The second hand went by a group of
[00:29.65] Five, ten, twelve times is a minute
[00:31.63] But Shameika said I had potential
[00:36.23] Shameika said I had potential
[00:39.98] Shameika said I had potential
[00:43.75] Shameika said I had potential
[00:47.91]
[00:54.35] I used to march down the windy, windy sidewalk
[00:57.87] Slapping my leg with the riding crop
[00:59.62] Thinking it made me come off so tough
[01:01.91] I didn't smile
[01:03.01] Because a smile always seemed rehearsed
[01:05.44] I wasn't afraid of the bullies
[01:06.86] And that just made the bullies worse
[01:09.62] In class, I passed the time
[01:11.12] Drawing a slash for every time
[01:12.73] The second hand went by a group of
[01:14.91] Five, ten, twelve times is a minute
[01:16.57] But Shameika said I had potential
[01:21.23] Shameika said I had potential
[01:24.83] Shameika said I had potential
[01:28.53] Shameika said I had potential
[01:31.88] Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo
[01:34.05] That's my burden, my dream
[01:35.59] My dog, and my man
[01:36.64] And my music is my holy trinity
[01:39.09] Hurricane Gloria in excelsis deo
[01:41.67] That's my burden, my dream
[01:43.48] My dog, and my man
[01:44.28] And my music is my holy trinity
[01:46.90] Tony told me he described me as pissed off, funny and warm
[01:50.73] Sebastian said I'm a good man in a storm
[01:54.47] Back then I didn't know what potential meant
[01:57.36] And Shameika wasn't gentle and she wasn't my friend but
[02:01.96] She got through to me and I'll never see her again
[02:05.31] She got through to me and I'll never see her again
[02:09.34] I'm pissed off, funny and warm
[02:11.22] I'm a good man in a storm
[02:13.18] And when the fall is torrential, I'll recall
[02:17.32] Shameika said I had potential
[02:21.35] Shameika said I had potential
[02:24.88] Shameika said I had potential
[02:28.63] Shameika said I had potential
[02:32.57]
[02:39.39] Tony told me he described me as pissed off, funny and warm
[02:42.95] Sebastian said I'm a good man in a storm
[02:47.16] Back then I didn't know what potential meant
[02:49.81] But Shameika wasn't gentle and she wasn't my friend
[02:53.58] But she got through to me and I'll never see her again
[02:57.77] She got through to me and I'll never see her again
[03:02.09] I'm pissed off, funny and warm
[03:03.91] I'm a good man in a storm
[03:05.80] And when the fall is torrential, I'll recall
