One More Chance

(album: Layers Of Reflection - 2016)

Just one more chance
Is all that it took, to realize
That I was wrong
And all those words, we said, were lies
I'm fighting with the fury in my heart
I'm tryna make it work so don't let go, don't let go
Cause I'll be yours

They said I'm wasting time, then I told them come and watch me
While they was sipping beers I was working sipping coffee
Tell me who can stop me
Gave them love they tried to cross me
Nightmares come with dreams and reality's exhausting
Only time I'm number two is when I'm writing with a pencil
Mental letters for this girl, I like to call that sentimental
And she's like "you're so distant, like you're on a different side"
When you're tryna leave an ex, you're supposed to divide
Losing connections just to connect with yourself
Give you chapters of my life that you can place on your shelf
You can't control what you're dealt, but you control what you build
The coldest winters come but they eventually melt
I'm tryna teach them love but all around me is hatred
How could you ever know your story if you're flipping back pages
Such a mess inside this world and this is me doing maintenance
I've been so focused on payments, what's the point of my savings
It's like my dreams have been fading I'm losing track what I'm saying
Praying every night like do you hear what I'm saying

All I know is opportunities come, opportunities go
If life is what you make it don't let your happiness go
Look in the mirror, there's always more than you see
Living life like a dream, it's always been me and my team
And all I need is

Just one more chance
Is all that it took, to realize
That I was wrong
And all those words, we said, were lies
I'm fighting with the fury in my heart
I'm tryna make it work so don't let go, don't let go
Cause I'll be yours

Picked up a canvas and I've been painting my conscious
Tell what's an artist if his paintbrush isn't honest
I've been caught up in the moment like, is this really worth it
This food for thought is heightened but these labels won't serve it
Chasing this feeling, I'm filled with doubts, I'm revealing
Like am I writing for millions or am I after these millions
Pushing the limits putting the work in the minutes
I'm seeing mannequins and gimmicks getting Grammy's, what isn't
Should I sell out, cause I'm starving to eat
Should I give what you wanna hear or give you what you need
Cause the realest one's will give you more than what you get to see
And the idols that you idolize are lies up on a screen
The only one who sees it, sell you lies and you believe it
But the ate always are always there so you don't get the secret
Ain't sticking to the script and I don't care if noone seen it
No time for me to sleep in, cause I'm busy working, dreaming
With my team and yeah we scheming, tryna pay the bills
With mom working overtime, all the time it kills
Working like we got it now it's time to make it real
So you can fill your cups and Imma let my knowledge spill
Grip the mic like it's my last breath, maybe this my last shift
Drop this apron and this mop, I tell my bosses you know that's it
Cause

Opportunities come, opportunities go
If life is what you make it don't let your happiness go
Look in the mirror, there's always more than you see
Living life like a dream, everything is what you perceive
And all I need is

Just one more chance
Is all that it took, to realize
That I was wrong
And all those words, we said, were lies
I'm fighting with the fury in my heart
I'm tryna make it work so don't let go, don't let go
Cause I'll be yours
