Shameika Said (feat. Fiona Apple)

Walking through the ghetto, candy apple stilettos
 Have the heavy metal hidden in the rose petals
 It's Sha from the mecca, the holy place
 Fi gave you name, now you know the face
 Didn't know you had potential
 Back then
 Now you know your place
 Spiritual bath aura shining like amazing grace
 I bring that spice to your life got that cajun taste
 Blazing difference between space and space
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said, Shameika said
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said (Ow!)
 I know you're building yourself sis
 But love every flaw
 There's not a boogeyman behind every door
 You the queen on the chessboard
 Dress for it, move accordingly
 Ain't no stepping on them toes girl
 Them shoes is Jordans
 If you build it they come
 You got the potential
 Heed the beat of your drum
 Follow the instrumental
 Nothing's coincidental you can be influential
 Stay true to yourself that's always essential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said, Shameika said
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said, Shameika said
 We keep dreaming about back then
 But I didn't know what happened
 She stood up for me
 I wish I could have done the same for her
 We keep dreaming about back then
 But I didn't know what happened
 She stood up for me
 I wish I could have done the same for her
 We keep dreaming about back then (I thought I was all alone)
 But I didn't know what happened (But she called me on the phone)
 She stood up for me (I thought I would never see her again, see her again, see her again)
 I wish I could have done the same for her
 We keep dreaming about back then (But she called me on the phone)
 But I didn't know what happened (She said, "you're not alone")
 She stood up for me
 (I thought I would never see her again, see her again, see her again)
 I wish I could have done the same for her
 Shameika said I had potential (Ooh)
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said, Shameika said
 Shameika said-
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said I had potential
 Shameika said, Shameika said
 We keep dreaming about back then
 But I didn't know what happened
 (See her again, see her again, see her again, see her again, see her again)
 She stood up for me
 I wish I could have done the same for her
 We keep dreaming about back then
 (I thought I would never see her again)
 But I didn't know what happened
 (I thought I would never see her again)
 She stood up for me
 (I thought I would never see her again)
 I wish I could have done the same-
 Shameika said I have potential
