Outlawz, Wyclef Jean, Krayzie Bone - Second Chance lyrics

God, can I get a second chance? (Ha ha)
God, can I get a second chance? (Ha ha)
God, can I get a second chance? (Ha ha)
God, can I get a second chance? (Ha ha)
God, let me get a second chance (Ha ha)
God, let me get a second chance (Ha ha)
God, let me get a second chance (Ha ha)
God, let me get a second chance (Ha ha)

Still spit it for the lost souls
Hustlin' in the rain
Lookin' deeper than the surface
To the purpose of the pain
We was hopelеss in the game
Now the futurе in sight young and dumb
Not knowin' what I was doin' with my life
Hard headed and arrogant
Savage in my New Balance's
Many challenges down this road we travellin'
Askin' 'em "Was he ready to die?"
He had that semi-automatic pointed
Right at his eye
An unexpected surprise, he just smiled
Then he gave 'em a nod
As if to say he was ready
For them angels to fly
As if he callin' out for help
And ain't nobody in sight
He havin' long conversations with
The devil at night a fellow in stripes
He searchin' for a sign from God
He did his time, came home
He can't find him a job
Can't hide the scars
Free but feel like he behind bars
With his back against the wall
The life of an outlaw, man

Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit I been trough
Was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the
Only thing we understand
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit we been trough
Was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the
Only thing we understand

We been out here tryna survive
The struggle too long
Everytime I try to come up they do me wrong
I gots to move on, 'cause I do know
Only the strong survive, that's what they say
But, I knew soldiers that
Were strong and died so we pray, and we pray
We warnin' ya
Second chances don't come too often
So be more than
Hurry up, save your life, and don't be locked
Cause we die hard, and we
Cry scars, we got hard, we not starvin'
Sometimes you get that second chance
You better take it
If you get caught in a second death
You never gon' make it
(Probably won't make it)
Man, I thank God for second chances I got
(Chances I got)
The learnin' experience me a lot
Think back in the days as a youngin'
When I ran with the Glock
Far better days, so many plans that I plot
Came this way, lose me, they throw shade
But I block
Any weapon formed against this, and I prosper
Whether locked down or locked-up

Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit I been trough
Was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the
Only thing we understand
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit we been trough
Was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the
Only thing we understand

They shot the Haitian president
(Rrr) 28 was recruited for the mission
YeahBarely been a
Month I was Zoomin' with the leader (Oh
Yeah) now he wrapped up like a mummy
Just like pharaohs down in Egypt (yeah)
Two different mindsets
Y'all like to broadcast
Me, I swear to secrecy
I'm hard to see like owls on a dollar
Yeah, let me show you power
When George Bush give the order
I had a gang in
Port-au-Prince facin' coolin' power
(Show blood)
One nigga can't have all the power
So they infiltrate and put the Judas
Next to the black messiah (Ayy)
If I was president, I coulda been here
(yeah) , red and blue (True)
21 gone Zulu (Ayy)
I'm just a young thug, Wyclef Jean
Gone to, bust my, used to make rhymes
God had a planned, gave me a bag
That's when it all began

Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
(Oh, yes, oh, yeah)
All this shit I been trough
Was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the
Only thing we understand
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit we been trough
Was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the
Only thing we understand
