[Intro]
God, can I get a second chance? (Ha-ha)
God, can I get a second chance? (Ha-ha)
God, can I get a second chance? (Ha-ha)
God, can I get a second chance? (Ha-ha)
God, let me get a second chance (Ha-ha)
God, let me get a second chance (Ha-ha)
God, let me get a second chance (Ha-ha)

[Verse 1: Young Noble]
Still spit it for the lost souls, hustlin' in the rain
Lookin' deeper than the surface
To the purpose of the pain
We was hopelŠµss in the game, now the futurŠµ in sight
Young and dumb, not knowin' what I was doin' with my life
Hard headed and arrogant, savage in my New Balance's
Many challenges down this road we travellin'
Askin' 'em "Was he ready to die?"
He had that semi-automatic pointed right at his eye
An unexpected surprise, he just smiled, then he gave 'em a nod
As if to say he was ready for them angels to fly
As if he callin' out for help, and ain't nobody in sight
He havin' long conversations with the devil at night
A fellow in stripes, he searchin' for a sign from God
He did his time, came home, he can't find him a job
Can't hide the scars, free but feel like he behind bars
With his back against the wall, the life of an outlaw, man
[Chorus: Young Noble]
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit I been trough was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the only thing we understand
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit we been trough was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the only thing we understand
[Verse 2: Krayzie Bone]
We been out here tryna survive the struggle too long
Everytime I try to come up they do me wrong
I gots to move on, 'cause I do know
Only the strong survive, that's what they say
But I knew soldiers that were strong and died
So we pray, and we pray
We warnin' ya
Second chances don't come too often, so be more than [?]
Hurry up, save your life, and don't be locked [?]
'Cause we die hard, and we cry scars, we got hard, we not starvin'
Sometimes you get that second chance, you better take it
If you get caught in a second death, you never gon' make it (Probably won't make it)
Man, I thank God for second chances I got (Chances I got)
The learnin' experience [?] me a lot
Think back in the days as a youngin' when I ran with the Glock
Far better days, [?] so many plans that I plot
Came this way, [?] lose me, they throw shade, but I block
Any weapon formed against this [?], and I prosper
Whether locked-down or locked-up
[Chorus: Young Noble]
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit I been trough was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the only thing we understand
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit we been trough was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the only thing we understand
[Verse 3: Wyclef Jean]
They shot the Haitian president (Rrr)
28 was recruited for the mission, yeah
Barely been a month I was Zoomin' with the leader (Oh, yeah)
Now he wrapped up like a mummy just like pharaohs down in Egypt (Yeah)
Two different mindsets, y'all like to broadcast
Me, I swear to secrecy, I'm hard to see like owls on a dollar
Yeah, let me show you power, when George Bush give the order
I had a gang in Port-au-Prince facin' coolin' power (Show blood)
One nigga can't have all the power
So they infiltrate and put the Judas next to the black messiah (Ayy)
If I was president, I coulda been here (Yeah), red and blue (True)
21 gone Zulu (Ayy)
I'm just a young thug, Wyclef Jean
Gone to [?], bust my [?], used to make rhymes
God had a planned, gave me a bag
[?], that's when it all began
[Chorus: Young Noble]
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man (Oh, yes, oh, yeah)
All this shit I been trough was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the only thing we understand
Man, I thank the Lord for a second chance
Damn, I'm just tryna be a better man
All this shit we been trough was part of God's plan
Sometimes the pain is the only thing we understand
