Jeff Porter, Teathetruth - Wasted Talent

I know some people that never reached their potential
What a shame, wasted talent, never tried to make it happen
That could never be me, man why you think I'm always rappin'
Cause I'm only gettin' older, I can see the time passin'
It's never too late, to love what you do, and do what you love
Me and music really just fit like a glove
This for all the people thinking that this shit was a fad
I be usin' that as fuel and now I'm hitting the gas
When Biggie said the sky's the limit he was spittin' some facts
Bringin' it back, to the first time I picked up a pad
Even back then I knew I had a gift for the gab
Freestylin' at every party, I was kickin' some ass
So I finally built the courage just to get in the lab
Everybody starts somewhere you gotta remember that
Now I'm never lookin' back, we progressin' every week
It's a holy matrimony cause I'm married to the beat, yeah
I pray I never waste my talent now
Thought it was a joke at first, well who's laughing now
I pray I never waste my talent now
Thought it was a joke at first, well who's laughing now
I pray I never waste my talent now, real shit, yeah yeah
I pray I never waste my talent now
Thought it was a joke at first, well who's laughing now
My life's different than it was a couple years ago
I was sort of lost, no bullshit, I ain't know where to go
I was really coming up shorter than Rey Mysterio
Jumped up in the booth, so all of y'all could just hear me flow
Still be makin' time for some beers with the bros
I just mostly be recording or I'm planning some shows
Really tryna be the greatest, man I'm here for the smoke
When it's all said and done, they gon' declare me the goat
Of course I wanna be great, but I don't care about statistics
I just wanna execute my vision, do this for a living
When I rap it's like a natural high, I got a new prescription
Head up in the clouds, like I'm whippin' and the roof is missin'
But I'm here now, stayin' so grounded
Stayin' prolific, profound and so astoundin'
Til the day that you see me on Jimmy Fallon
I just pray that I, that I never waste my talent, yeah
I pray I never waste my talent now
Thought it was a joke at first, well who's laughing now
I pray I never waste my talent now
Thought it was a joke at first, well who's laughing now
I pray I never waste my talent now, real shit, yeah yeah
I pray I never waste my talent now
Thought it was a joke at first, well who's laughing now
