Chance of a Lifetime
Hey lets have a heart to heart real quick
I want everybody listening to understand how
Much I appreciate you giving this song a chance
I ask that you share this with your friends
I'd really appreciate it if you could just spread the word
It's all love from me
Thank you
Only thing you got in this world is a chance
Whether you're on the corner or you dance
Whether you're all alone or your life is full of friends
Whether you're unemployed or your job is high demand
Whether you're killing or stealing for Uncle Sam
Whether you're straight gay lesbian or a trans
Whether you hate me love me or we're friends
Everyone in this muthafucka has got a chance
Only thing you got in this world is a chance
Whether you're on the corner or you dance
Whether you're all alone or your life is full of friends
Whether you're unemployed or your job is high demand
Whether you're killing or stealing for Uncle Sam
Whether you're straight gay lesbian or a trans
Whether you hate me love me or we're friends
Everyone in this muthafucka has got a chance
Every word indifference every word ignorance
Every time I spoke out of term or came off belligerent
Tryna be different tryna be driven tryna save the witness
Hope your ears are open and you give this song a listen
Maybe we should switch positions
Maybe we should switch positions
Maybe we should switch positions
So you could really see it different
The baby born in a manger in simplicity
Your lord and your savior couldn't question me
Do we have any takers he who knew of thee
Afterlife chasers that beg and plead
Strong line debaters competing to see
Worthiness of me
Who echoed and screamed
To the lord he beveled
Why ... Why ... Why
Why me
Imagine staying up day to day for fucking weeks
Scared you'll miss your opportunity if you go to sleep
Better watch what you speak
Better watch where you sleep
Better watch how you treat
Better watch who you meet
Better watch when you eat
Better watch why you cheat
It lingers in the back of my mind will I face a defeat
I guess I'll hope and pray that they'll save me a seat
Now I'm scared to speak now I'm scared to sleep
Now I'm scared to treat now I'm scared to meet
Now I'm scared to eat now I'm scared to cheat
The enemy of a friend to me is a enemy
Eventually He'll see the melodies of a reckoning
Unless he's blessing me or I'm locked in a questioning
Tried to hide the lies tried to find the time in the peace of mind
In correcting why mentioning a rhyme
I have tried a million times
Till I cried to god
And I asked him
Asked him
Why
Only thing you got in this world is a chance
Whether you're on the corner or you dance
Whether you're all alone or your life is full of friends
Whether you're unemployed or your job is high demand
Whether you're killing or stealing for Uncle Sam
Whether you're straight gay lesbian or a trans
Whether you hate me love me or we're friends
Everyone in this muthafucka has got a chance
Only thing you got in this world is a chance
whether you're on the corner or you dance
Whether you're all alone or your life is full of friends
Whether you're unemployed or your job is high demand
Whether you're killing or stealing for Uncle Sam
Whether you're straight gay lesbian or a trans
Whether you hate me love me or we're friends
Everyone in this muthafucka has got a chance
I want everybody listening to understand how
Much I appreciate you giving this song a chance
