Second Chances

I beg for mercy, a second chance to right my wrongs Write a song, send me an angel, don’t wanna fight alone See this darkness is weighing on my soul, laying in the cold And the price I’m paying all alone I’m from the ghetto, never been a bourgeoisie I’m like tea in a kettle, feel my bottom’s on heat Keep my foot on the pedal at a quarter past three Al Capone in an era using militancy In the streets, it’s official I’m at the pinnacle Really dude, a decent kid who looked up on to criminals It was cool, ‘cause we living life like we’re invincible Silly dudes, never understanding what we really do Hurt people hurt people, but I was never hurt Terrible what I did to the woman with the yellow purse Could there ever be atonement for my sins Cause my conscience is constantly killing me ever since A second chance is the only thing I pray for Only thing I pray for A second chance is the only thing I pray for Is the only thing I pray for A second chance is the only thing I pray for Is the only thing I pray for A second chance is the only thing I pray for That’s the only thing I pray for Let the dead bury their dead, I’m right here Fighting for my freedom but freedom don’t fight fair Impossible to juxtapose dominoes with a lot of hope On the road, caught with dope, you know they never pardon those Under the pressure, 100 percenter, don’t mean to bother Don’t wanna stress ya, only my mind is spinning and running helter skelter I’m like a rabid animal locked in a cage It’ll take more than a voodoo priest to calm down the rage You’ve been outside for so long, but really are insane Cause only a crazed mind would pledge allegiance to this game What can I say, I swear to God, I could have chosen different But it’s easier to blame everything on the rotten system Jesus, Jesus, they said I could call on you Save me from the wrath and brimstone that are falling through If you really are a mighty fortress I can run into Then please embrace my feeble soul as I come to you A second chance is the only thing I pray for Only thing I pray for A second chance is the only thing I pray for Is the only thing I pray for A second chance is the only thing I pray for Is the only thing I pray for A second chance is the only thing I pray for That’s the only thing I pray for
