Hey, oh
Hey, ohh
Ooh-wee

I've had some ups and downs
Who would've knew that I would make it this far?
All of my life they did me wrong
Time after time they left me 'lone, yeah
Don't get me wrong, I've done some wrong
But by myself, I stood on my own
Without no help, they wouldn't pick up the phone
'Cause they did me cold
Some things that I would never say (never say)
Like God I'm hurtin' but I'm hurtin'
I ain't perfect but I pray that I see better days, yeah
And if you love me, why you let these niggas hate on me this way?
I need a break, yeah
He told me, "I gave you a gift
And with that gift I hope you change the world and elevate" (elevate, oh)
So fuck who never stayed and separate

Sometimes I gotta keep it real
And tell 'em how I feel, yeah
But they don't seem to understand
That God gave me a second chance, second chance, yeah
Second chance, second chance
And I don't need nobody, just gon' get my money
Down on my knees, I got a blessing coming
'Cause He gave me a second chance, second chance, yeah
Second chance, second chance

No matter what today bring
I'ma always keep my head up for the days that I got fed up
Been through the storm, I felt the rain
And every time that I had prayed, I felt like I never said enough
It's like I'm talking to the wall
Got on my grind when I fell off
My stomach empty, I was hungry
I never crossed none of my dawgs
And never fucked none of they bitches 'cause that's law, I'm one hunnid
You gotta feel me when I say this
I was so broke, I'm tryna find a bitch I could stay with
Long as my dick good, lil' mama gon' let me stay with her
Ad drive her car tomorrow when I drop her off for the day, nigga

Sometimes I gotta keep it real
And tell 'em how I feel, yeah
But they don't seem to understand
That God gave me a second chance, second chance, yeah
Second chance, second chance
And I don't need nobody, just gon' get my money
Down on my knees, I got a blessing coming
'Cause He gave me a second chance, second chance, yeah
Second chance, second chance

He took me out them streets (I'm sayin')
Got on my knees that's when He put me on my feet (amen)
I was so down that I could barely get no sleep (amen)
I felt so weak, yeah, but now I'm up, yeah (why)

Second chance, second chance, yeah
Second chance, second chance
He gave me a second chance, second chance, yeah
Second chance, second chance
