Give Me A Chance lyrics

[Chorus]I'm still waitin' on that one phone callThat one conversation that can change it allI'm tryin' to get me a deal, I'm tryin' to get it and chillIf I can make a mil', all my problems'll be solvedGive me a chance to make it workSo much at stake, it hurtsGotta stay alertIf I miss my one shot, my chances'll be goneI can't leave it alone[Verse 1]Bare my soul in every page that I writeI promise you this, I'm gonna make it tonightSo when I finally pop, and I make it to the topI'm prayin' I ain't afraid of heightsMakin' tight beats, spittin' flows is my M.O.Tryin' to get the industry's ear, like +Please Listen To My Demo+'Cause Dan's vicious, full of dreams and ambitiousSchemes and scam-pitchin', I'm sick of these damn dishesI'm sick of bustin' these tables for minimum wageThat's why I'm shakin' everytime I put pen on the pageThat's why my tightest shit's ignited with venom and rageI've tried to fight it everytime that I've been on the stageI shake hands with the rap fansThe teeny-bop
pers say they love meUnderground niggaz tell me 'that's wack Dan'Man...can't you see that I'm on the grind?My CD circulated in a couple states and they responded just fineYou mean to tell me if Akon can get signedI can't get mine?Sometimes I wanna grab the mic and just rhymeStand on a corner with a hat and collect dimesMy daughter just turned twoCouldn't afford the Pro Keds, so I bought her just one shoeLandlord screamin' at me, rent six months dueIf I can make one wish come true...[Chorus][Verse 2]Yo, my mind's spinnin' like theRims on the wheels of a Rolls-RoyceNow I'm feelin' like I'm Rose Royce, 'cause I'm +Wishing On A Star+I'm wishin' I was far away from hereI grab my pic and my guitar and pray this year maybe I'llMake it off sheer luckBut I fear luck won't be enough to getAll of my student loans cleared upMy tear ducts are at capacityBaby moms harassing me'Cause she says my paychecks don't last a weekMeanwhile, I'm watchin' these cats blow upAnd throw up dollar bills like 7
-Up Plus soda...I'm doin' shows for small changeIgnorin' other rappers 'cause I think they're all strangeMy eyes on greener pastures, sixteen chaptersMake up my life story, I should be an actorHey Mr. A&R, what're you waitin' on?You know I've been waitin' long, praying and staying strongAnd trying to stay soberMan I swear, if you call me now my pain will be overSo many plots in mind to gain some exposureShow me the dotted line, like Dame did for HovaPour my heart into my penmanshipSo won't somebody draft a contract and send one quick?'Cause most importantly my little girl depends on thisI refuse to lose, take it on the chin and quitNever
