Big Al One Chance Lyrics

[verse one]
All I need is one life, one try, one breathe for one man
What I stand for speaks for itself, they don't understand
Cause they don't know me, none of you do
you thought you knew, though now you know it's true
who the f___ am i? i'm not in your crew
that's what i mean, i'm fifteen and still unseen
i'm like a machine, i follow the routine
but as soon as i'm obsence, i'm put out to clean
put between two choices, between two voices
but as soon as i'm gone you rejoice
the truth is you never cared, i was only compared
i was stuck with the tough decision to prepare
i was scared, i admit that
but once i got out there, you could not top this
you could not stop this, you had to bring da ruckus
now i'm sick and tired of this, so f___ this

[interlude]
All I need is one chance
Just one chance man

[verse two]
All I need is one fight, one light, one chance to make it right
maybe then i can write, be tight, and i'll be at my height
cause i have to go over and beyond, i need a four leaf clover
then maybe i can respond with a bond
a real friendship, then i can end this s___
quit tryin to contend and pretend
just so i'll be recognized, and be so wise
cause i'm sick of the despise, and the disuise
cause to your surprise, i will rise to the skies
after so many tries, lies, I had to revise
myself in order to revive myself
I put my old self onto the shelf
Backed it up, you can judge for yourself
I'm ill, and I got the will
But still, I do it for the thrill
No skill, and I keep goin till the kill

[interlude]
All I need is one chance
Just one chance man

[verse 3]
All I need is one friend, one end, and one chance to ascend
It all depends on how I defend and apprehend
Cause this is my hood, and ima rep it past my death
But it's all good, cause i don't plan to take my last breath
Till I'm at the top, and when the bodies drop, I will not stop
Even when the cops pop, and I take the flop
There's nothin in our way - they bust, we bust, they RUSH, we RUSH
Lead flyin, feel it? I feel it in my gut
That we take these b____es to war, lie em down
Cause we stronger now, the time is now.
You can trust that, it's not just that
but we put it all on the mat, just one more time at bat
My time ain't up, my prime has yet to come, yup
I'm still a pup, growin up to be a dog
So load up the clip, it's our time to ride
Loosen up the grip, and let it rip

[interlude]
All I need is one chance
Just one chance man

[verse 4]
All I need is one more rhyme, one time, and one real crime
So I can start my climb to be the best
Cause I've been blessed and it's no jest
You've guessed, and I've obsessed, it's just a request
Give me one last rest, one last test
I've impressed, and I got it off my chest
So I'll finish off the rest
eleven bars till you can attest
that I'm a beast from the east
The only way to stop me is when I'm deceased
and I cease to release this s___
I have the chance to make it, or be hit
Shots put into me, you'll need more than three
I'm an MC to the highest degree
But when I die, none of you will cry
ain't no lie, but you don't know why
