Life begins to flicker and fade as my eyes rest

On the barrel of a forty-five mouth of madness

My girl standin' next to me begins to plead

For the mugger to heed his misdeed that breeds infamy

His gun wavers as cocaine flows through his veins

An evil fiend slowly dyin’ in the fast lane

Rain falls he looks sideways with a crooked eyeball

I reach for my wallet which fumbles and falls

His finger on the trigger as I hold my breath

Freeze frame like a picture perfect image of Death

He grabs the wallet with haste but then hesitates

As he fondles my girl a crazed look on his face

Mad minute as my rage intensifies

But the gun to her belly makes my anger subside

He then runs away turnin' fear to shame

The damage is done things will never be the same

(Chorus)

If I woulda had no fear

If I hadn't gone down here

Now it’s so clear

That second chances ain't there

If I would a "Taken another route"

Maybe I should a "Protected my girl"

Only if I could a "Been a little more brave"

But second chances ain't there

Life begins to flicker and fade as my eyes rest

On the barrel of a fourty-five mouth of madness

My girl standin' next to me begins to plead

Muscles go stiff about to make a m*********** bleed

His gun wavers as I'm bent on deadly intent

My fists don't relent on the corporal punishment

Rain falls as his broken body hits the wall

Yellin' to my girl to make the police call

Murderous intentions flow through my veins

My girl screams "lookout" I continue the pain

Then I fell shock throughout my dome

As another villian rocks me with a hammer full blown

In the dark I couldn't see that the mugger had a lookout

Tried to turn about but he administered the blackout

As darkness overcomes I see them rape my girl

Her screams pierce the night as the horror unfurls

(Chorus)

If I woulda had no fear

If I hadn’t gone down here

Now it’s so clear

That second chances ain't there

If I would a "Seen his homie hidin’ there"

Maybe I should a "Carried some sort of weapon"

Only if I could a "Been more on point"

But second chances ain't there

Life begins to flicker and fade as my eyes rest

On the barrel of a fourty-five mouth of madness

My girl standin' next to me begins to plead

As I reach for my gat with the greatest of speed

Quickly fumble the steel when my gun's revealed

It’s bullet time can hear repeated caps peel

Pain explodes when the bullets begin to manifold

Deathblow as I attract the steel like Magneto

The killer's gun wavers as he loudly cries

His mad rage doesn't reside but intensifies

Hail of bullets trackin' through the air

Leavin' heroic efforts in the pit of despair

Rain falls as my girl's broken body hits the wall

See the sick vision when a bullet strikes her jaw

There we both lie in a puddle of blood on the ground

As we stare in each other's eyes and make no sound

(Chorus)

If I woulda had no fear

If I hadn't gone down here

Now it's so clear

That second chances ain't there

If I would a "Just taken a cab home"

Maybe I should a "Tried not to be a hero"

Only if I could a "Just taken the bone"

But second chances ain't there
