Opportunity |
| Opportunity |
| Came to my door |
| When I was down |
| On my luck |
| In the shape |
| Of an old friend |
| With a plan |
| Guaranteed |
| Showed me the papers |
| As he walked me to the car |
| His shoes |
| Finest leather |
| He said |
| You could wear this style |
| Follow my advice |
| He owned a gun |
| The caliber escaped me |
| But I noticed |
| Straight away |
| It made me itch |
| Carried an address |
| With numbers on the back |
| And an L-shaped |
| Bar of iron |
| What’s that for |
| I asked my man |
| With eyes |
| Wide opened |
| And the knowledge in my head |
| And he said |
| Opportunity |
| World wide adventure |
| Money in the bank |
| We did the job |
| The work was so well done |
| No one saw us coming |
| Much less leave |
| But what I dropped |
| Carried my credentials |
| And a black & white |
| Shot of you & me |
| What’s that for |
| I asked the cop |
| With eyes of innocence |
| The knowledge in my head |
| And he said |
| Opportunity |
| World wide adventure |
| Let me have your hand |
