Gimme a Chance Lyrics

[Intro: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
(Can grow, can grow, can grow, can grow)


[Verse 1]
Carolina H fits, hottest bitch from the block
Used to puff Phillies 'n' Duchies 'n' Stuff Nicks
Now I light doobies, the cutie from five fifth
Life like a movie, she typing her own script
What's this? Young sis
Made it from the cement, start pushing her own bricks
Put on for her city, I pop in Metropolis
Hold this, chocolate and focused
Know this, vocal and chosen

Opponents, leave 'em dead in they own crypt (Ha)
Murder she wrote, she prefer it in cursive
The purse sick, the verse is perversive
They worship, making the words skip
Superb witch in demand, she perfect
Understand the plan, the blueprint
Hundred grand in the hand, it's on grip, nigga

[Chorus: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme a chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be a-waiting there until knock the door
[Verse 2]
Money getting galore, cream cover the pores
Honey drip on ya jaw, Mami spittin' allure
I'ma get it for sure, getting it all
I'm dreaming it big, 2Pac it Shakur
Vision it clear, who's stopping a star?
You deep in the rear while I'm knocking it forward
Impressing the pair, but three get 'em a charm
You checking from where? New Yorker to heart
Harlem girl from the block, ponytail with the part
If you gimme a, gimme a, I'ma give you a lot
Many Benji's from Penny's bet you can't hustle a fox
Tony, Oscar or Emmy, is you acting or not?
Phony homies and any and who happen to plot?
They come up with empty while you beam to the top

While you cream of the crop
Ha-ha

[Chorus: Enon]
That's the way that our love can grow
Make the play and then not too slow
Gimme a chance, I will have to make you dance
Make a play upon the dance floor
I'll be a-waiting there until knock the door

[Bridge]
Llévate el dinero y ese bandolero
Nada me hace falta y yo a él no lo quiero
Toda mi vida ha cambiado, estoy mejor cada día
Lamento informarte, no funcionó la brujería

Mira como baila la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto ni pena

Mira como baila la nena morena
Mira como baila, sin llanto ni pena

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 [?]
