Plies - 2nd Chance lyrics

rate me

I went 2 see my nigga, he doin 17

one of da realist niggas I done ever seen

got caught with a bird, but his record was clean

coming back from Dade, all he gave him was speed

he a real soldier, but his partner was greed

get out when he 40 went in at 23

how 17 years worth one key

some shit cost 20 grand can get you over 10 a piece

he aint wanna hurt nobody he was just tryna eat

he had a real job went to work 4 days a week

said this his last trip and he was gettin out da streets

he a good nigga, a second chance is all he need

x2

some niggas make mistakes of fucked up circumstance

now they life gone, prolly gon die in the pen

they done gave up on life and put it in God's hands

I thought this was a miracle what happened to a second chance

wish I had one chance to sentence the judge kids

and watch them beg for they life like my niggas did

give them a life sentence, some shit that wasnt big

before they get granted they appeal and gotta do 10

shoe gotta be on the other foot for you to understand

the scariest shit in the world is be a black man

what my future hold, wish I knew in advance

I approach life everyday just hopin I win

alot of us already lost, we sittin in the pen

this shit is crazy cuz God even forgives sin

but when it come to the system that shit dont bend

I guess it do dependin on the color of your skin

x2

some niggas make mistakes of fucked up circumstance

now they life gone, prolly gon die in the pen

they done gave up on life and put it in God's hands

I thought this was a miracle what happened to a second chance

I thought it was understood, nobody was perfect

so how can 1 mistake make yo life worthless

God made us all put us here to serve a purpose

yo life in 12 strangers hands n cum back with a verdict

but is dat really fair what if they all was dirty

you mess up 1 time n they come back with 30

wat if u ain't got money yo whole family hurtin

then u ain't got a choice you gotta cop out early

but if u was rich u wouldn't of dat 30

but wat if the judge racist, nobody to overturn it

the system fucked up because It ain't sturdy

welcome to America home to da controversy

x2

some niggas make mistakes of fucked up circumstance

now they life gone, prolly gon die in the pen

they done gave up on life and put it in God's hands

I thought this was a miracle what happened to a second chance
