Give Me a Chance

[Hook] I'm still waitin' on that one phone call That one conversation that can change it all I'm tryin' to get me a deal, I'm tryin' to get it and chill If I can make a mil', all my problems'll be solved Give me a chance to make it work So much at stake, it hurts Gotta stay alert If I miss my one shot, my chances'll be gone I can't leave it alone [Verse 1] Bare my soul in every page that I write I promise you this, I'm gonna make it tonight So when I finally pop, and I make it to the top I'm prayin' I ain't afraid of heights Makin' 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 ambitious Schemes and scam-pitchin', I'm sick of these damn dishes I'm sick of bustin' these tables for minimum wage That's why I'm shakin' everytime I put pen on the page That's why my tightest shit's ignited with venom and rage I've tried to fight it everytime that I've been on the stage I shake hands with the rap fans The teeny-boppers say they love me Underground niggas 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 fine You mean to tell me if Akon can get signed I can't get mine? Sometimes I wanna grab the mic and just rhyme Stand on a corner with a hat and collect dimes My daughter just turned two Couldn't afford the Pro Keds, so I bought her just one shoe Landlord screamin' at me, rent six months due If I can make one wish come true... [Hook] [Verse 2] Yo, my mind's spinnin' like the Rims on the wheels of a Rolls-Royce Now I'm feelin' like I'm Rose Royce, cause I'm +Wishing On A Star+ I'm wishin' I was far away from here I grab my pic and my guitar and pray this year maybe I'll Make it off sheer luck But I fear luck won't be enough to get All of my student loans cleared up My tear ducts are at capacity Baby moms harassing me Cause she says my paychecks don't last a week Meanwhile, I'm watchin' these cats blow up And throw up dollar bills like 7-Up Plus soda ...I'm doin' shows for small change Ignorin' other rappers cause I think they're all strange My eyes on greener pastures, sixteen chapters Make up my life story, I should be an actor Hey Mr. A&R, what're you waitin' on? You know I've been waitin' long, praying and staying strong And trying to stay sober Man I swear, if you call me now my pain will be over So many plots in mind to gain some exposure Show me the dotted line, like Dame did for Hova Pour my heart into my penmanship So won't somebody draft a contract and send one quick? Cause most importantly my little girl depends on this I refuse to lose, take it on the chin and quit Never
