Wasted Talent ft. Jake Palumbo Lyrics

It's good to be in something from the ground floor

I came too late for that, I know

But lately I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end

The best is over

I think about my father

He never reached the heights like me

But in a lot of ways he had it better

They had their standards, they had pride

Today what do we got?

Uh, nobody told me what the limits were

The only way I know is to fire on every cylinder

I just got so high that you gon' need an altimeter

80's baby, Alien, V for Visitor

I want to have kids but I'm afraid I'll leave them fatherless

When stress finally sparks my apocalypse and martyr

While they try to navigate Mad Max beyond thunderdome

Coming home you can be offended by my undertones

Your opinion isn't stopping me

Social currency is being rich in Monopoly

My friends circle getting smaller every year

There's great music in the vault that the world will never hear

And that's worse than any label trying to jerk me

And nobody popping shit about me every out worked me

I'm in love with my money but I do it for the legacy

The educated entertainment manifest my destiny

Pass the Hennessy

Yo, I believe my pops broke his back so I'd surpass him

Too bad it killed him, and he ain't around to ask him

If he didn't have to feed 3 kids in desperate fashion

Would he'd monetized his art or just keep painting for the passion

I'll take that Henny since you passing

And pour a little out for all my peoples who done passed kid

Take a couple shots I ain't trying to get plastered

Couple hours later see me stumbling walking backwards

Cause music's what I love, it's the only thing I shall do

Too bad it's at a time when it's severely undervalued

Posting everyday not cause I want to but I have to

I'm a pull a Chet Steadman and keep pitching from my have to

I'm a winner that's my attitude

If you take your foot up off they neck and give them latitude

That's when they regroup and then proceed to come right back at you

So every day I see another day I show my gratitude

It's kind of funny how these cats have every avenue

To get what we would kill for but they scared of what their shadow do

My mother fucking time's invaluable

I'm striving for perfection, but allow me to fallible

With no apologies, how I do it's how it's got to be

Miss a thousand times takes once to hit the lottery

Every time you execute it's best to do it properly

I leave my kids a catalog of records and some property

Do I have talent dad?

Of course you have talent

You have all the talent in the world

You can be anything you want to be

Remember the saddest thing in life is wasted talent
