Wasted Talent

[Intro]
Haha, Nato

[Verse 1]
I've been very observant, especially in person
Just learned that there's a window here, I just drew the curtains
It's humorous right, they call 'em blinds for a reason
I wanna win dough, I'm just blind to the reason
I'm not really seeing the true meaning behind it
I say that I love music, is that brutally honest though?
Well, I don't know sometimes I have my doubts
If you love the fire you make then why put it out?
Maybe I'm just cynical and that I hate
Every cent that I make off this I should just donate
Yeah, blessed I got a talent
Even more blessed that I got
A fanbase that got me get out the office, Michael Scott
You think I wouldn't let that opportunity slide
What if I told you yesterday I looked for a job?
What if I told you that I'm caving in on the inside?
I gotta snap out of it, can't let the dream die

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
I swear I'm trying
I'm trying though I'm only one man
One man, yeah, whoa, yeah
But I don't want to waste this talent I was given
I don't wanna waste this talent, yeah
Wasted talent, yeah

[Verse 2]
Okay, last time in L.A. I was tryna stay hydrated
But next time I wanna be like, "Aye, Hi Dre Did"
You hear my new joint?
It’s got those 808s, piano keys
Of course it’s got that comic relief like Stanley Lee
Ay, a man could dream, believe me that’s all I do
Day dreaming about my chances that’ve fallen through
But I need to maintain a better outlook
Platinum record mindset while recording in the smallest room
People say my sound is weird, well, I call it new
I’ve been an artist all my life but I hardly drew
Swore I was the smartest in my circle but I hardly knew
A thing, smartest thing I did was admit I ain't have a clue
But I got this far with what I do know
This whole goal I had to plan it far out like Pluto
I'm glad I decided to take the challenge
Don't want my grave to say here lies wasted talent
Nato

[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
I swear I'm trying
I'm trying though I'm only one man
One man, yeah, whoa, yeah
But I don't want to waste this talent I was given
I don't wanna waste this talent, yeah
Wasted talent, yeah
Yeah, yeah
I swear I'm trying
I'm trying though I'm only one man
One man, yeah, whoa, yeah
But I don't want to waste this talent I was given
I don't wanna waste this talent, yeah
Wasted talent, yeah
