2nd Chance Lyrics


I went to see my nigga, he doin' seventeen
One of the realist niggas, I done ever seen
Got caught wit' a bird, but his record was clean
Comin' back from Dade on a Gator wit' speedHe a real soldier but his partner was greed
Get out when he forty, went in at twenty three
How seventeen years worth one key
Some shit cost twenty grand, he get you over ten pieceHe ain't wanna hurt nobody, he was just tryna eat
He had a real job, went to work four days a week
Said this his last trip and he was gettin' out the streets
He a good nigga, second chance all he needsSome niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?Wish I had one chance, to sentence the judge kids
And watch 'em beg for they life like my niggas did
Give them a life sentence fo' some shit that wasn't big

'Fore they get granted they appeal, they gotta do tenShoe gotta be on the other foot for you to understand
The scariest shit in the world to be a black man
What my future holds, wish I knew in advance
I approach life everyday just hopin' I winA lot us already lost, we sittin' in the pen
This shit crazy 'cause God, he forgive sin
But when it come to the system that shit don't bend
I guess it do, dependin' on the color of yo' skinSome niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?I thought it was understood, nobody was perfect
So, how can one mistake make yo' life worthless?
God made us all, put us here to serve a purpose
Your life in twelve stranger's hands to come back with a verdictBut is that really fair, what if they all was dirty
You mess up one time, and they come back with thirty
But if you ain't got money, your whole family hurtin'
Then you ain't got a choice, you gotta cop out earlyBut if you was rich, you wouldn'ta got them thirty
What if the judge racist, nobody'd overturn it
The system fucked up, because it ain't sturdy
Welcome to America, home of the controversySome niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
They done gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?Some niggas make mistakes, all fucked up circumstance
Now they life gone, probably gon' die in the pen
They gave up on life and put it in God's hands
I thought this was America, what happened to a 2nd chance?

Algernod Lanier Washington (born July 1, 1976 in Fort Myers, Florida) is an American rapper signed to Slip-N-Slide and his own label, Big Gate Records. His debut album, The Real Testament, was released in 2007 and featured the top ten singles Hypnotized featuring Akon and Shawty featuring T-Pain. He then released two studio albums in 2008, Definition of Real and Da REAList. His fourth studio album, Goon Affiliated, was released in June 2010.

Plies was born Algernod Lanier Washington on July 1, 1976, in Fort Myers, Florida and grew up in Cape Coral, Florida. While at Fort Myers Senior High School, he played in the football team, was crowned Homecoming King, and was named the "Best Dressed" student of his class. He attended Miami University for a year and played in its basketball team, then transferred to the University of Central Florida for sophomore year and dropped out. In the late 1990s, Plies and his stepbrother Ronnell Lawrence Lavatte, also known as Big Gates, established an independent record label, Big Gates Records. Although Plies initially refused to rap, after a demonstration for one of his artists, Big Gates decided to keep Plies' verse on the track "Tell Dem Krackers Dat". Big Gates and Plies promoted the single and traveled many times to Miami, which eventually led to a deal for Plies on Slip-n-Slide Records. Plies's girlfriend Brandy Lacole Lyons gave birth to a son, Nijier Lanier Washington, at the University Community Hospital in Tampa, Florida on October 20, 2003. After signing to Slip-n-Slide in 2004, Plies released several mixtapes.

On July 2, 2006, after a shooting at a Gainesville, Florida nightclub, Plies was charged with illegal possession of a concealed weapon, and members of his entourage were charged with attempted murder. The shooting, in which 5 people were injured, started after Plies' microphone was cut off for Lil' Boosie to perform, after Plies' performance ran over time. According to the promoter Jonathan Smith, Plies became "enraged". A fight began with fists and shouting, and ended with at least six rounds of bullets being fired.
