One Chance

I've had some hard knocks, I've lived beaten down
I've lived for the minute, I've lived for the sound
I've drowned in tears, stranded in pools
I'm an example of ignorance, I'm bound by my rules
If I had a dollar for every time my dreams crashed
I'd be living in mansions, I'd be swiming in cash
I'm not out and too hashed, but I'll drink until I sink
You could swim in my flesh, but my vein's an ice rink
I'd punch through your skull just to play with your mind
Pull on your strings 'til you can see (I'm blind)
So I'm not a doctor and don't play one on TV
But if I told you I've changed, would you really believe me
These bad boys are dangerous, I attack with my lips
I've got the microphone strapped and I'll shoot from the hip
Now I've got some insight, hard to change how you live
So I stole the mic and pen, It's my one chance to give ah

And if I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and
If I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and (You only get one chance)

Some live life for fun, drinking beer like the gun
Waking up next to the pregnant, um, I mean the one
But it isn't like that, I swear there's no sex
I swear I got that rash from, oh crap, next
We'll bring the music if you can hold a beat
Eat up the stage like a Scooby Snack treat
If I want a piece of you, I'll pull out a rib
Got one chance to give when Tyde busts the lid, yeah

And I would give up everything in my life
Just for once chance, one chance
If you don't believe me then see, my friend
You are a dumbass, dumbass (Ha ha ha)

Give me some words, I'm breaking 'em down, sentences, nouns
Syllables, doesn't it seem like I should be making it now
Give me a chance, I'm spilling the beans, pickles and peas
Can you believe how a silly man is still killing emcees?
I think he's crazy, maybe he's ill as disease
He sounds like Shady, except he's making the illest new beats
Believe it or not, you've got to be feeling the heat
I'm done with this track, so now you can deal with Xtreme because

And if I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and
If I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and (You only get one chance)

Live life and life will give you light, so bright
In fact, it's like when lightning strikes
Despite the fact my rap's at frightening heights
It strikes you back with good and bad advice, feel me
Really, I am a lyrical God, a miracle spirit
So whether you hear me or not, fear it
Shut up, listen, memorize every one of my rhymes
And when it's time to shine, you hide
And I move on like I was taking chances
Having achy backs to make advances
Back and forth all day like shaky dancers
Makes me question even taking chances
Maybe I'm a baby, goo goo, ga ga, poo poo, ca ca, plus uh you do lots of stuff to piss me off
I'm fine, okay, chances are you ask me why, and I'll say

And if I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and
If I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and (You only get one chance)
And if I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and
If I only had one chance to go back in time
And rewind these actions that I have done
Then maybe I will and change up the past
Because all it takes is one chance and (You only get one chance)
