Capacity ft. October Sixteen Lyrics

Who told you you couldn't be great

Who told you you had to wait

Who just takes a back seat to their own life and surrenders to fate

Faith is a substance of what your imagination sees fit to create

And if great minds think alike, then so do mediocre ones

Why not elevate

Cause if misery loves company, then so does spite

Who are you letting curate your fun or spoil your life

See, cliches clutch new captains covertly each night

While the closed minds of the hopeless can't seem to see victory in any fight

And just might be the companions of those who give up to never take flight

But see, I got places to go when they all out of sight

Capacity to uncover, filtering for the fullness in life

Realize I had to stop giving out unsolicited advice, so that I could charge forward

Tap into my truths and then share the appropriate insight

Yeah, I rolled the dice and bet on me

Now I can see, yeah, now I can see that them elementary school teachers lied on me

About what I could be, about special ed and what future I would see

Bet they'd be baffled if they saw this PhD

Yeah, now you might see what's possible when you let go of the internalized

Limitations and deficiencies placed in you as a youth and throughout life

Then embrace that unique complexity that is you and never lose sight of it

But it takes hard work and consistency and acceptance to your agency

A growth mindset, radical honesty, and maybe a little bit of therapy

What if you were capable of more

And what do you think it felt like when the eagle first realized that it could soar

Why treat greatness like a chore or throw potential to the floor

If I'm gonna keep it real, G, discipline is seldom by how you feel, see

When I say give yourself grace

I didn't mean beforehand as an excuse to stay in the same place

The truth is, you're not gonna get that full workout in unless you change the weight

At least enough to challenge you

So why wait

I'm done with waiting, I'm done complaining, I'm done debating my worth

Been too complacent, I'm born for greatness, I know my place on this earth

No matter the hand that I'm dealt, I'ma take it and making it work

From other failures, I learned how to keep faith when I'm hurt

Now I'ma take them to church

All father who are in heaven, I'm taking too long to learn lessons

Treating the present like it's not a present and stressing about all my possessions

Negative thoughts and depression are taunting me, calling out all my intentions

I just want all my successes to be so impressive that nobody talks to me reckless

So don't ask me your questions, my answers are offensive

If you got small perspectives about artistic expression

I've made the investments, saw faults and made corrections

Made progress, not perfection

My capacity is stretching

Talking capacity, it has to be no limit like Master P

The path was planned for me, I'm chasing a massive dream

To make it reality, I work while they fast asleep

I know what I have to be, the odds that I have to beat to get to the heights that I have to reach

I'm actually already at altitudes where doubts remove

I'm making my wildest moves, crossing them out they shoes

All of the wows and oohs and awws from y'all in the crowd is cool

But there's nothing I have to prove, just watch what I'm about to do
