Lyrics
Description
[Intro]
Hey baby girl, yeah — (call) I wanna see you today, tomorrow
( Response: I wanna see you )
Staccato brass hits, claves snap — feel the pulse
[Verse 1]
Short lines, heartbeat — step in time
You laugh in colors, midnight wine
Painted canvases on your bedroom wall
Late-night rhymes echo down the hall
Degrees in your mind, a quiet plan
A passport full of flights, stamped in sand
You hide those things like light in jars
But I hear the music under your scars
[Pre-Chorus]
If you let me in, I’ll fan that flame
Don’t bury gold beneath the rain
( Response: Fan the flame )
If you whisper dreams, I’ll shout your name
[Chorus]
Show me your potential, baby, show me bright
I’ll be the reason you step into the light (yeah)
Show me your potential, baby, one more time
I’ll hold the door — you walk, I’ll ride
( Response: Walk, I’ll ride )
[Verse 2]
You locked the stage after one bad night
Scared the light would leave you blind, you turned off the mic
A man with a promise who never came through
Left a cracked mirror and a faded cue
But girl, I see the rehearsals you kept in your head
The sketches, the solos, the letters unsent
No more hiding notes on the back of a receipt
Your songs deserve a crowd, your feet deserve the street
[Pre-Chorus]
If you let me in, I’ll fan that flame
Don’t let one ghost decide your name
( Response: Fan the flame )
I’ll hold your hand through the thunder and rain
[Chorus - Variation]
Show me your potential, baby, show me bright
I’ll be the reason you step into the light
Show me your potential — paint it loud, paint it right
I’ll sing the verse while you take flight
( Response: Take flight )
[Percussion Break]
(Short percussion groove — congas, shakers, syncopated snare)
(Oo-oohs layered behind, brass stabs on two)
[Bridge]
Close your eyes — smell salt and petrol, airport lights
Taste the sugar of long rehearsed nights
Tiny hands that learned to mix a beat and a dream
We’ll stitch the seams, turn whispers into stream
I’ll bring the mic, you bring the story, no edits
We’ll map your scars into constellations and credits
( Response: We’ll map the stars )
[Chorus - Key Lift]
Show me your potential, baby, show me bright
I’ll be the reason you step into the light (step into the light)
Show me your potential, baby, sing it tonight
I’ll keep the rhythm while you claim your right
( Response: Claim your right )
[Outro]
Yeah — potential in your eyes, a passport of skies
No more goodbyes, just opening doors
I wanna see you today, tomorrow — forevermore
( Layered backing vocals: "show me, show me, show me")
(Production notes: add staccato brass hits on intro/chorus, layered backing vocals on hook, percussion break after second chorus for breathing space, call-and-response lines tight and syncopated for Afrobeat groove.)
