Plies - 2nd Chance Lyrics

[Verse 1:]
I went 2 see mii nigga, he doin 17 1 of da realist niggaz I dun ever seen
Got caught with a bird his record was clean.cumin back frum dade all he needed was to speed
He was a real soldier but his partna was greed, went out with dat 40 .how is 17 yrs worth
A key shit cause 20 grand will getchu 10 a piece. he ain't wanna hurt nobody
He was jus tryna eat.he had a real job went to work 4 days a week.said
Dis was his last trip n he was gettin out da streets.he a good nigga a second is
All he need.

[Chorus: x2]
Sum niggas made mistakes f*cked up circumstances.now dey life gone prolly gon' die in
Da pin.they dun gave up life dey put it God's hands.wat happened to a miricale all he
Ne is a 2nd chance.

[Verse 2:]
Wish I had 2 chance 2 sentence da judge kids.n watch em beg fo dey life lyke mii
Niggas did.give dem a lyfe sentence fo sumthin dat wasn't big.
Befo dey get granted dey appeal dey gotta do 10.u gotta be on da otha foot fo
You to understand.the scariest thing in da world is to be a black man. I wish
Wat my future hold I wish I knew in advanced.I approach lyfe erre day jus hopin
I win.alot of us already lost dey sittin in da pen.dis shit crazy cause God forgives sins.
But wen it comes to the system dat shit don't bend.I guess it do dependin on da
Color of yo skin.

[Chorus x2]

[Verse 3:]
I though it was understood dat nobody was perfect how can 1 mistake make yo
Life worthless God made us all we here to serve a purpose yo life in 12 strangers
Hands n cum back w/ a verdict .but is dat fair wat if dey all was dirty.you mess up
1 time n dey cum back with 30 wat if u ain't got money.yo hold family hurtin
Den u ain't got a choice.u gotta cop out early but if u were rich u wouldn't had dat
30.but wat if tha judge racist ain't nobody around to overrun it.the system f*cked up
It ain't sturdy welcome to america home to da contraversy

[Chorus x2]
