Taking a Chance On Me

[Intro]
Taking a chance on me
Born to be wild and free
See if it's meant to be
Taking a chance on me
I've gotta bleed these dreams (Dee-1)
Even if it means (Check)
I lose everything

[Verse 1]
I used to wanna be the president in fourth grade as a child
'Til my teacher said I wasn't smart enough, that was wild
From that day forward I no longer was dreaming big
That's the price you pay when you get your dreams killed as a kid
I graduated college then I had a revelation
My best friend got murdеred, can't live with hesitation
I chosе a path most people didn't approve of
I stopped chasing securities, started chasing true love
I never had an investor, I had a nine to five
My job helped me survive but I could never thrive
Nobody's an entrepreneur in my family
So when I quit my job to rap they didn't understand me
This ain't just a hustle, it's part of my purpose
If I'm too scared to chase my own dreams then life is worthless
Nobody thinks I'ma make it, watch me prove 'em wrong
I'm the underdog but my God keeps me strong

[Chorus]
Taking a chance on me
Born to be wild and free
See if it's meant to be
Taking a chance on me
I've gotta bleed these dreams
Even if it means
I lose everything

[Verse 2]
I had a job and a side hustle, finding balance
One paid me money, the other helped me nurture my talents
I used to sleep three hours a night, that ain't healthy
I made forty-thousand a year, that ain't wealthy
My mission changed when my best friend died
My hustle elevated once I discovered my "Why"
Through these lyrics inspiration's what I'm providing
They say it's hard to make it this way but I'm trying
I made a promise to the students that I used to teach
I'ma be successful without compromising my beliefs
Just to prove that it's possible so you could see
What happens when you use your talents for G-O-D
I'm breaking all of the rules 'cause the rules was devised by fools that couldn't walk inside my shoes
I choose to use these tools to show people a better way
And I'ma beat the odds with my hustle and my faith

[Chorus]
Taking a chance on me
Born to be wild and free
See if it's meant to be
Taking a chance on me
I've gotta bleed these dreams
Even if it means
I lose everything
