[Verse 1]
Lately, I been gettin' off
On a new woman like every week
But things gonna switch up real soon (Ooh-ooh)
So distracted from what's right for me
Oh-ooh-ooh, oh-ooh-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
Please, don't patronize me
I'm tryna be honest
I could put this behind me
But I can't promise nothing
Wish that I was different but I'm not
So I can only explain myself (Uh)
[Chorus]
I was fucked up by somebody
Who didn't mean anything to me
Now that we both drunk at this party
If you feelin' insecure
You could rest assure, take a chance on me (On me, on me, on me)
Take a chance on me (On me, on me, on me)
Oh, take a chance on me (On me, on me, on me)
Take a chance on me, yeah (Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-ooh-woah)
[Verse 2]
Lately, I'm learnin' how to let go
Takin' life as it comes, you cannot control
Everything that is comin' in your circle
Been avoidin' my feelings
So obviously, I been broken down
Obviously, I been hurt before
Tried to mask the pain by sleeping 'round with women I ain't care about, oh-oh, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus]
Please, don't patronize me
I'm tryna be honest
I could put this behind me
But I can't promise nothing
Wish that I was different but I'm not
So I can only explain myself (Uh)
[Chorus]
I was fucked up by somebody
Who didn't mean anything to me, yeah (Oh, oh)
Now that we both drunk at this party (Oh)
If you feelin' insecure
You could rest assure, take a chance on me (On me, on me, on me)
Take a chance on me (On me, on me, on me)
Oh, take a chance on me (On me, on me, on me)
Oh, take a chance on me, yeah (Oh-oh)
[Outro]
Tell me if you, ooh (Ooh-ooh)
Ready to (Ready to)
Make any moves, ooh
Think it through
Whatever you choose (Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I will do (I will do)
Wether it's me
Or if it's you

‘Chances’ was definitely a labor of love. The record means a lot to me. It’s a real story and a timestamp of that period of my life, which is always the intention of my music.
The lyrics in the second verse are my favorite because it’s something that I’m still learning to do in my life today: letti...
