Chance

All we need is just a chance

Show dem what we can do

Hear di ghetto cry, yeah, di pressure high

'Nother mother bawl, 'nother stretcher fly

Yeah, mi get a gun before mi get a bly

Quick fi tek a life, Mr. Death and I

Yeah, di dutty rough, but yuh better try

No giving up, mommy never lie

Put mi back pon di wall, nobody fi lean pon

Hide mi pain inna di drugs, that's why mi ever high

Yeah, di soldier might a stumble but we never die

Man a king inna di jungle, hold mi head up high

Weh mi daddy gone? Watch mi madda cry

No bed time story, nuh lullaby

Mi life turn and friend turn, mi ask Jah Jah why

Nuh put mi trust inna woman, you know dem gyal yah lie

Light mi spliff and cock mi 'matic, a just God and I

Father mek wi reason

All we need is just a chance

To show dem what we can do

All we need is just a chance

To show dem what we can do

Di youth dem made outta steel

We never change up for real

Dem nuh know di pain weh wi feel

Dem nuh know di days with nuh meal

If a nuh Jah inna mi way, mi nuh kneel

Haffi honor yuh, momma yuh a mi savior fi real

Couple a mi dawg deh a jail an nuh squeal

Yeah, it a guh real out pon di battle field

So di 'matic out and mi prayer a di shield

Heart full a pain from mi pass weh mi nuh pass yet

But when mi look pon mi blessing dem mek mi start check

And when mi look pon di lesson weh life teach dem

Dem nuh see di half yet

All we need is just a chance

To show dem what we can do

All we need is just a chance

To show dem what we can do

All we need is just a chance

To show dem what we can do

All we need is just a chance

To show dem what we can do
