Nobody listened
So she screamed out loud
She broke the dishes
When he tried to put his hands on her
She took the car keys, went to the police
Now he sittin' in a jail for life
'Cause somebody listened
Somebody listened
Fortune favors the bold
The one who's not lookin' for gold
Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight
Takes the longest road
Music favors the heart
Lonely notes in the dark
Only knows how to play all the sadness away
Makes a flame from a spark
Fortune favors the bold
Fortune favors the bold
Nobody listened
He was always quiet
Took pills from the cabinet
Stayin' up all night
But he had one friend always checkin' in
And he probably saved his life
'Cause he paid attention
He paid attention
Fortune favors the bold
The one who's not lookin' for gold
Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight
Takes the longest road
Music favors the heart
Lonely notes in the dark
Only knows how to play all the sadness away
Makes a flame from a spark (yeah, okay)
His window pane seen way too many rainy days
In a broken home like Outkast in that Ms. Jackson video
It's water that's fallin' from the ceilin', somebody call someone to fix it
Spillin' blood in the water, yet intentions aren't cryptic
And the funds is fundamental
But see that fades away
And when it's gone, we left with spirit
It makes me wonder what it really cost to pay attention
Look, the pendulum swingin' back and forth like badminton and snippin' away
At that venomous snakehead, we call that the industry
I been prayin', smokin', tryna guard my energy
Remainin' hopeful, I'm just tryna maintain innocence
Maintain sanity while I'm settin' the table up for my lineage
And they can tell the greatest story that was ever told
'Bout how the fortune favors the bold, yeah
Fortune favors the bold
The one who's not lookin' for gold
Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight
Takes the longest road
Music favors the heart
Lonely notes in the dark
Only knows how to play all the sadness away
Makes a flame from a spark
Fortune favors the bold
Fortune favors the bold
