[Verse 1]

Coming hardcore looking like a gangster, bitch

Trying to front like you ain't rolling filthy rich

Laguna Hills you were born and raised

But you're claiming South Central is where you spent your days

Coming out hard talking crazy shit

Knowing in your mind that you really don't fit

Standing up straight, yeah, with a gangster lean

Talking gangster slang about what you seen


[Chorus]

Take a chance, kid

Take a chance

Take a chance, kid

Don't fall down hard again

Take a chance, kid

Take a chance

Take a chance, kid

Don't fall down hard again


[Verse 2]

Uh-My turn

You better think twice before you come at me

'Cause right through your fucking dome I can clearly see

Hey little dog, you gonna bark all day?

Cause toe to toe, in the ring, is where I play

So you better step back and check yourself

Stop fronting and just be yourself

Cause no one cares what set you're claiming

Till someone grabs their gun and starts their aiming at you


[Chorus]

Take a chance, kid

Take a chance

Take a chance, kid

Don't fall down hard again


[Post-Chorus]

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no clout

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no clout

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no clout

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no, clout


[Chorus]

Take a chance, kid

Take a chance

Take a chance, kid

Don't fall down hard again


[Verse 3]

Third verse

'Cause it ain't about how hard you are

Try using your brain and you will go far

Be true to the color that you were born with

Not the fucking color that you're adorned with

So keep it real and always be true

And be yourself in all that you do

Stand up tall and get some respect

And always remember, bitch, keep yourself in check


[Chorus]

Take a chance, kid (check)

Take a chance

Take a chance, kid

Don't fall down hard again

Take a chance, kid

Take a chance

Take a chance, kid

Don't fall down hard again


[Post-Chorus]

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no clout

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no clout

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no clout

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya

Tripping out cause ya got no, clout


[Outro]

Take a chance, kid

Take a chance

Take a chance, kid

Don't fall down hard again
