Lyrics
Potential extinguished
By the blade, or the flame
The city of mine is not ours to name
Stakes, there are gains
Stakes, and gains
Rage
Pain
The tower blocks reign- King of the concrete skyline
Crooked crown cooked up a cold dish
Revenge for what?
Did you notice the hurt in my eyes as you passed
For preferred- that I sing, for I dance
Well I dance and I sing from the heart
For a bar, 'cuz the cost if I can't
Is more than you could imagine
A rage, buried beyond
A song, unwritten
Potential extinguished
Development arrested
A deathwish too young to know its becoming
A fire too cold to burn as it should
Development, arrested
Potential, is smoking
The city, consumes 'em
All the fumes, I'm choking
If you, only knew
The view, I'm scoping
Potential inside
But the view is the most king
Got a look inside of yourself, define your worth, it's right there
Don't waste it waiting for permission to take it, take it
Gifts that you give in your condition is greatness, face it
But
Nothing ain't easy, we know that it's real hard
Golden heart but the soul of a sinner
You've got a 5 with a 4 in the mirror
Less we let it take over and kill us
Gotta settle the soldier within us
Control it, mold it, to bring us
Closer to destination, yeah
Life is what you make it
Life is also what you taking
In this journey that we're chasing
