[Verse 1: Shameika]
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

[Chorus: Fiona Apple]
Shameika said I had potential
Shameika said I had potential
Shameika said I had potential
Shameika said, Shameika said
Shamеika said I had potential
Shameika said I had potential
Shamеika said I had potential
Shameika said (Ow!)

[Verse 2: Shameika]
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
[Chorus: Fiona Apple]
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

[Bridge: Fiona Apple]
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

[Chorus: Fiona Apple]
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-
[Outro: Fiona Apple]
Shameika said I have potential
