Coming hard core looking like a gangster bitch,

Trying to front like you ain't rolling filthy rich

Laguna Hills you were born and raised.

But you¹re 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 with a gangster lean,

Talking gangster slang about what you seen.



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.



You better think twice before you come at me

Right through your 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 your claiming,

Till someone grabs their gun and starts their aiming at you!



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



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



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



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 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, keep yourself in check



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



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



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
