Second Chances

[Verse 1: Honors English]

She, she, she wanna be a DJ girl

CNN mind in a BET world

To the mirror she said, you can be a celeb

You can be the next Angie Martinez

A friend of a friend heard that she was fresh

Hired her on the set when she called in for request

But if she can't sneak in songs with meaning

Not even on the weekend she up in fumes

Can't play her own tunes darn it she's leavin'

It's FM from AM to PM

Turn the countdown louder

She played D.O.A right after she played Power

To get the talk of the town up

Cause 6 days a week they only allow her

Play the same 6 songs 6 times an hour

Oh God her mixing's replaced with playlist

From computers that's outdated

Dear Station

Thanks for tryin' to shackle her dreams

But she got the blood of a slave the heart of a queen

And even though she'll lose her job and even knowing the risk

She throw on a song she loved and it sounded like this...

[Hook: Karina Pasian]

If you believe in second chances

Life is not a promise

Dreams are a mountain

Think I'm going to struggle on 'til I'm on top now

If I fail the first time I'll do it again now

Second Chances, Second Chances

[Verse 2: Honors English]

He quit DJ'ing the top of his junior year

Tired of playing them songs that's popular on the air

You can do better he used to say to the mirror

You fresh, you can be next year's DJ Premier

But one day the doc saw a growth on his throat

Damn wish the cancer just stayed in horoscope

Tears falling, pulse skipping, heart broke

Music is the magician helped him fix them off notes

Plan A uh work out 24 shifts

Plan B uh see he ain't know how to quit

Plan C, cut out everything counterfeit

If that don't work there's 23 more alphabets, live

How would you feel, his Mamas preparing his every meal

See Love is the Achilles whenever we need to heal

And after 6 months it's only a scar left

He feeds his faith his fear starve to death

Yep yep yea, he's at the height of his career

Always 'member to leap and the net shall appear

He overcame chemo, hero

20 milli sold grammy and if you ain't know

That's how he got the name

Needlz

[Verse 3: Honors English]

She, she, she gon' be a powerful girl

Edison mind in a shock value world

The powers in you she used to say to the mirror

In 3 years you gon' be an electrical engineer

While a freshman she'd homerun all the testing

Grand slam the classes as if they tossed all

Softball questions, it was perfection

'Til she passed the test that means that you pregnant

Sick everyday she drops out she can't tell

If she gon fail classes, she got to farewell

Working for the Bank see mentally the imagery she tried to forget

But the mirror has memories

Years past, her son goes from pre-k, high school

To gradual graduate from grad school

She was there twice when he tossed the tassel

Just the perfect lasso pulled her back to the classroom

She grabs her Bachelors, Masters

Learned life's a a never ending class 'til the last day you passes

She went from dropping out to getting her 2 degrees

She, she was my mother

See her son none other then Honors E
