Blvck Spider - One Chance

Have you ever been through so much
That you were at risk or lost the ones you truly love
Or for some reason, god really did gave you a chance to live
You gotta live your life to the fullest like its your last day

Back when I tried to survive back in 95
When i was living in the suburbs of Chi
I almost died, problems left to right I cried every night
Yea this was my life that I barely survived
It wasn't easy for me especially the struggles that applied to my parents, oh my
Going through anxiety were eating them alive and for them
All of this was only harder times

I was born premature for sure
None of this, was suppose to occur
I remember waking up at the hospital feeling insecure
Confused and hurt, I was feeling all the pressure
Living under the dirt like I never been heard
It took a long time to sprout just like the beginning of birth
When every doctor of Chicago couldn't find a cure
Was this the end of my existence, I wasn't sure

It doesn't matter how or where you live
God gave us all, a gift
There's no reason to put it at risk
The life that we choose, to live
The poor or the rich, doesn't even exist
Except those who really have a heart to give

You gotta live your life to the fullest, like its your last day
Tomorrows not promised, appreciate the things you do today
Cuz once we lose it all, there will be no way
To get it back or the loved ones, that passed away

Life's too short, you only get one chance, one chance
We got the world to explore, but there's only one chance, one chance

Growing up in Cicero, a year later we took a trip to Mexico
Days followed by days, just one season full of episodes
The pain has always been, hard for me to let go
I knew I was good to the people yea I knew that Ive always been special
This son was raised, by the greatest parents from the get-go
I didn't care bout race in Riverdale I was nine, living in the ghetto

I was traumatized from roaches
It's really bogus how mostly all my life ive been told a bunch of lies
So don't think that I noticed
And realized that your friends aren't really the ones to be closest, with

So everytime I get asked a personal question
About my scar, across my stomach heres my confession
I had little holes in my intestine, looking for perfection
Facing problems with money like we were living The Great Depression

Look at the streets and tell me what you see
Don't be ashamed, of where you are, where you've been or where you want to be
A lot of hate and pain is what we breathe
Violence, negativity is what we see just to let our hearts bleed

I cant believe people wana fight over little things, over everything
Choosing sides just to fight isn't gonna solve a single thing
Let this be over, I'm coming over to bring the families closer than gravity

You gotta live your life to the fullest, like its your last day
Tomorrows not promised, appreciate the things you do today
Cuz once we lose it all, there will be no way
To get it back or the loved ones, that passed away

Life's too short, you only get one chance, one chance
We got the world to explore, but there's only one chance, one chance
