Fortune Favors The Bold

Nobody listened, so she screamed out loud
She broke the dishes when he tried to put his hand on her
She took the car keys, went to the police, now he's sitting in a jail for life
'Cause somebody listened, somebody listened

Fortune favors the bold
The one who's not looking for gold
Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight
Takes the longest road
Music favors the heart
Lonely notes in the dark
Only knows how to play all the sadness away
Makes a flame from a spark

Fortune favors the bold
Fortune favors the bold

Nobody listened, he is always quiet
Took pills from the cabinet, staying up all night
But he had one friend always checking in and he probably saved his life
'Cause he paid attention, he paid attention

Fortune favors the bold
The one who's not looking for gold
Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight
Takes the longest road
Music favors the heart
Lonely notes in the dark
Only knows how to play all the sadness away
Makes a flame from a spark

Yeah, okay, his windowpane seen way too many rainy days
In a broken home like Outkast in that "Ms. Jackson" video
It's water that's falling from the ceiling, somebody call someone to fix it
Spilling blood in the water, yeah, intentions are cryptic
And the funds is fundamental
But see, that fades away and when it's gone we left with spirit
Makes me wonder what it really cost to pay attention
Look, the pendulum swinging back and forth like Badminton
And snipping away at that venomous snakehead, we call that the industry
I been praying, smoking, tryna guard my energy
Remaining hopeful, I'm just tryna maintain innocence
Maintain sanity while I'm setting a table up for my lineage
And they can tell the greatest story that was ever told
'Bout how the fortune favors the bold, yeah

Fortune favors the bold
The one who's not looking for gold
Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight
Takes the longest road
Music favors the heart
Lonely notes in the dark
Only knows how to play all the sadness away
Makes a flame from a spark

Fortune favors the bold
Fortune favors the bold
