Second Time Around

[Chorus]
How much would you offer for a second time around?
A second chance to make your dreams come true
How much to go lookin' for so much you never found?
How much for the things you didn't do?

[Verse 1]
Three years of life, eight months and three weeks in the womb
A young youth tip-toes in the room
Drop his play ball, seen a table top of balloons
Ironically he manifest not tryna be what he gotta be
A product of the sun, moon and stars
His house is abused, so many colors to choose
So many others would lose
He reached up wit' a 'toon satellite and grabbed the balloon
It's something in this, he dropped and resumed to find a empty
What is this? He already knew it's stuff that they burn on a spoon
And they make faces of doom
Ain't no reply when you ask 'em somethin'
It make 'em sleepy
Daddy why ya eyes like that? Can you see me?
You my hero, you bought me ballons but I can't blow 'em up
It's brown stuff in them ones, I opened and I closed 'em up
He smiled when I woke 'em up
He said son you gotta manifest supremes on the second time
I smiled and cried

[Chorus]
How much would you offer for a second time around?
A second chance to make your dreams come true
How much to go lookin' for so much you never found?
How much for the things you didn't do?
Ohhh, what is this? What is this? I cry for you

[Verse 2]
Yo, yo, yo, the hammer was back
It seemed like the front end hit the corner
Much longer than the side and the back
Arrival, he rose the strap
The moment right before he clapped was on 'em, blame Roman
What is that? That's a second chance that most killas ignore
So submerge your rage, tenseness and moments of war
Ask lil' Drew what to do when they close that door
I ask Allah to bring 'em home yo, he comin' home though
After the appeal, give 'em back that L
Can't take back that slug, 17 no bail
Ain't never been to a club, ain't never seen nowhere
I guess a second chance u'll be his first
You serve Allah, then you leave this earth
You see the last she emerge
Charlie smothered five on that thang
'Fore they set 'em up and bust his heart
Ride on these suckas how we raised live illegal
One born, one die, so fly like a eagle

[Chorus]
How much would you offer for a second time around?
A second chance to make your dreams come true
How much to go lookin' for so much you never found?
How much for the things you didn't do?
Ohhh, what is this? What is this? I cry for you

[Verse 3]
He kissed her on the lips, she shivered
She had to sneak up out the window when he came to get her
A young ma, mesmerized by the chain, the glitter
Knockin' the truck, rain drops, deep December
A dark spot, back seat, steamin' the windows up
Every kiss felt deeper and the purple was scrambling the brain
He was smooth wit' his words 'fore he called her lil' woman
She never been touched, she felt a warm feeling in her stomach
And then a rush, they locked lips again and then her soul moves
A precious queen tangled up into a cold dude
She chose to run away and go with him, he changed his whole mood
None of that sweet shit bitch, we on some whole new
Different type of hype, late night, do what you told to do
Or get ya ass left stranded and smacked wit' the cannon
She was a pretty young thing wit' a lack of understandin'

[Chorus]
How much would you offer for a second time around?
A second chance to make your dreams come true
How much to go lookin' for so much you never found?
How much for the things you didn't do?
Ohhh, what is this? What is this? I cry for you
