The Potential

I'm Rodney Ramen and I'll be
Your host this evening
(Hey, don't throw that shit on stage)
Tonight we got a young gentleman
All the way from uhh, los Angeles
I like the way how that beat just ridespause
The guy is making his way
From Compton, California and uhh
The guy has a lot of swagger
You know, you might have seen him around
Maybe never seen him before but he
Has definitely got a lot
Of potential and he is here
To show it tonight

Picture cash baby born how the duffel bag
How to ride a moment don't
Make my temperature mad (No)
Flickin' my past admire all the
Shit that I done had
Thinkin' I'm really reppin' my
City without a flag
Carry-ons, earphones, MCM bag
Elderlies mad as we all sitting first class
Look over shoulder laugh
Family matter chatting, did I do that?
Imagine Urkel with a little swag
Barely grown and already these
Bitches gettin' old fettichini flow
Let my words twist around the folk
Make you eat it like a dyke to a lesbian
Oh, the lady will get it after the show
Oh oh, protection for sexual, ah
Ah, thought you knew, nigga I'm passive
Proof, and you lookin' broke
Got for your diamonds same color cantaloupe
My life an episode so expect a fucking show

("The potential" is repeated x5
While Tyga speaks)
I remember this one time though
When i was like 11, and
Um i use to work with this
One producer out here in LA
And he use to make me write
Shit over and over again
And I would be like damn like
I use to feel like not good enough
Like my bars wasn't ready but it wasn't
That, they just wanted the potential
That I had you know what I'm sayin'? So they
Just like kept making me
Write it over and over and shit, you feel me?

Any minute I could lose the momentum
Lord forgive all my days I have spent sinnin'
Show my momma love, with a key and red ribbon
A freedom writer even niggas up
In jail feel him
Pause, my miracle bars will leave
Your mind in prison
Now what you was thinking can't even
Think you can you nigga
New Orleans they scream for
The beads on cameras up in the dorm hours
Before performance on campus
How could you not be famous? Too
Much managers can't even manage
Shout out to at money, he do the managing
While I fresh like Irish Spring
Obviously, I'm what the crowd came to see
Tyga not Tyrese
What you can sing, every melody and on a beat
Had the beach water money fold like laundry
Honestly don't lie to me F
Uck around and write your will
Right In your drivers seat
Fucking with them GED boys

So like, years years later
They announce to me, that I
Got an opportunity and chance
And it was like, who
Wouldn't like it at first
And I thought all of that
Hard work was going to pay off
But it really didn't
Because people wasn't biting onto it
But I think they
Just knew the potential I had
But they just wanted
Better from me but thank God for listening

Everybody make some noise come on
Clap it up! The guy
Has potential i am Rodney and
I'll see you next monday night
