Chance To Explain

The underdog (Cyhi)

Yeah, let me say this before the song start

Don't ever let nobody tell you how to draw your own art

Follow your own heart

Cause they don't put no poetry or no grocery in ya buggy

Tell em you push your own cart

Niggas say they a dog, but when it's time to fight

Niggas wouldn't pick up a paw let alone bark

Almost at a stone smart

So I read niggas like poems in the form of a lame till the chrome spark

They won't learn until they neck and they dome part

From a tone dart how these yellow stones part

If I ever made a million man I'd have my own march

Hit the club and make it rain like I own harp

Drinking spades at the top of the trump towers

No baby mama only seeds I got is sunflowers

Take a shower for like one hour

They trailbalzin, come up forward power like juwan howard

Bring pain to you dumb cowards

No coke, my killas addicted to gun powder

Niggas die off of one glower

They girls spoil me though, so I can see how they become sour

Can you believe they tried to put me in the slow class?

But I'm so fast getting this show cash

Mr. [?] and walked the hallways with no pass

Brought my literature down to a science plus I know math

So can you give me a chance to explain

Why I got this much game

Why I say I never change

For the hoes the money or the fame

So can you give me a chance to explain

Why I came the way I came

Why I think this whole industry is lame

And why every song I write is filled with pain

So here's my testimony I lost the best of homies

The only girl I'd ever thought had loved me left me lonely

But everything come with bread except bologna

Now everybody want a slice of my cheese, no pepperoni

I wish you never known me y'all niggas forever phony

Ain't nothing but a joke so I let em join me

They'd rather hate then give me props

The industry is like a revolver you ain't got that many shots

So shot for the moon

Or keep a pistol in your fruit of the loom

Give you the scoop from a spoon

I didn't up and call myself prince bitch I was groomed

Then we zoomed from the coupe to the room

Then watch a butterfly bloom in my cocoon

Laying in the dooms left her with a zilla goons

Then resume with my baboons selling prune to ya bafoons

I'm not a coon bada bing bada boom

I'm on the green not a bean not a shroom

My day will come soon

Let my reign at the top be longer than monsoons

So could you give me a chance to explain

Sir Charles, Master young

Allow me to clarify why my music will never die

Cause I'm seasoned like a checkers fry

Black panther pride

You niggas Julius Peppers Chi

Scared to say how you feel so you'd rather lie

You got to tell the truth when you testify

I do this for the dude that you left deprived

Don't jeopardize your life tryna get a better ride

Let that cheddar slide plus the streets is desert dry

Don't measure my success by the records I

Sell But by the people that I met when I was doin shows

I stand alone like the letter I

Live in the sky I am feather fly

Bubba kush got me double decker high

Virtually insane I am Jamiroquai

So recognize you couldn't see me with the naked eye

Split personality like Jekyll Hyde

Greg street bought me this iced out bezzled watch

Smoking barney while me and my rebels ride

So in my pants is the thang for a reason

If you give me a chance to explain
