[Verse 1]
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 likе we're invincible
Silly dudеs, 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
[Hook]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Hook]
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
