Second Chances Lyrics

[Verse 2: Honors English]
He quit Dj’ing the top of his junior year
Tired of playing them songs that’s popular on the air

You can do better he used to say to the mirror
You fresh, you can be next year's DJ Premier
But one day the doc saw a growth on his throat
Damn wish the cancer just stayed in horoscope

Tears falling, pulse skipping, heart broke
Music is the magician helped him fix them off notes
Plan A uh work out 24 shifts
Plan B uh see he ain't know how to quit
Plan C, cut out everything counterfeit
If that don’t work there's 23 more alphabets, live
How would you feel, his Mamas preparing his every meal
See Love is the Achilles whenever we need to heal
And after 6 months its only a scar left
He feeds his faith his fear starve to death
Yep yep yea, he's at the height of his career
Always 'member to leap and the net shall appear
He overcame chemo, hero
20 milli sold grammy and if you ain't know
That’s how he got the name
Needlz


[Hook]
[Verse 3: Honors English]
She, she, she gon' be a powerful girl
Edison mind in a shock value world
"The power's in you," she used to say to the mirror
In 3 years you gon' be an electrical engineer
While a freshman she’d homerun all the testing
Grand slam the classes as if they tossed all
Softball questions, it was perfection

'Til she passed the test that means that you pregnant
Sick everyday she drops out she can't tell
If she gon fail classes, she got to farewell

Working for the Bank see mentally the imagery she tried to forget
But the mirror has memories
Years past, her son goes from pre-k, high school
To gradual graduate from grad school
She was there twice when he tossed the tassel
Just the perfect lasso pulled her back to the classroom
She grabs her Bachelors, Masters
Learned life's a a never ending class 'til the last day you passes
She went from dropping out to getting her 2 degrees
She, she was my mother
See her son none other then Honors E

[Hook]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
