Chance |
| Genesis, chapter eleven, verse ten |
| Explains the genealogy of Shem |
| Shem was a black man, in Africa |
| If you repeat this fact, they can’t laugh at ya |
| Seem to not take it too well |
| When I tell you that it’s not the reason I fell |
| Then you know just how he felt |
| When you look at how you gave enough chance to sell |
| All I ever wanted was a chance for myself |
| Why the fuck do you even speak? |
| It’s not a choice of speech, and it sure ain’t free |
| Wear your braids to keep your edge |
| Stay in your corner, fuck you up, we lost our chill |
| All you ever wanted was a chance for yourself |
| To represent a thing that we have started to build |
| Why refresh your soul and my spirit for them? |
| All I ever wanted was a chance for myself |
| Been chewed up but it makes you proud |
| You’re the dark skinned nigga in a sold out crowd |
| Looking at the girl with the thick, blonde braids |
| And you’re tryin' to make out what her t-shirt says |
| No one really ever cares what 'thug life' means |
| They wanna be surrounded but they hate to breathe |
| The air is thick as I plan my escape |
| All I ever wanted was a chance for myself |
