Chances
Gambles and Changes: Tony Shhnow's Reflective Journey
Lyrics
Don't play wit' him
Warning not to toy with someone
I gave some people all I had and
Given a lot to people who didn't reciprocate
They still wouldn't do the same
Others didn't return the same favor
I know I shouldn't get involved
Aware of not getting involved with those resistant to change
Can't help who don't wanna' change
Cannot change those unwilling to change themselves
I took some chances with them cards
Took risks in life (symbolized by cards)
Still a gamble in my hands
Still uncertain about the outcome
I took some chances with the stars
Took risks aiming for success (symbolized by stars)
Will I catch it when I land?
Uncertain if success will be achieved
On that court I'm takin' charge will
Asserting control in a situation
I catch you in the stance
Monitoring others' actions
If it's halftime in the yard would
Considering catching someone in an act
I catch you with them bands?
Concern about catching someone with money (bands)
I'm too focused on my mission
Deeply focused on personal goals
It's my fault I made some plans
Taking responsibility for making plans
I'm too focused on so it's my
Attributing focus to personal actions
Fault I made some hands
Owning up to making decisions
It's my fault we ain't so close
Recognizing fault for drifting apart due to priorities (bands/money)
I been gettin' distant with them bands
Distancing due to self-centeredness
Maybe if I wasn't so selfish
Hypothesizing that selflessness could mend relationships
Maybe we could go again
Uncertainty about potential reconciliation
But I'm maybe just a maybe
Speculating about personal uncertainty
Maybe I'm good whеre I am
Content with the current state
Baby it bout' where you at
Emphasizing importance of current position
It ain't nun' bout' whеre you been
Not concerned about past actions or whereabouts
I know niggas be in hell if
Observing hardship if poverty was considered a sin
Bein' broke was a sin
Aware of envy due to financial success
I know some niggas bein' jealous we
Preparing to display wealth
I'm finna' pull the racks out
Announcing intention to show off money
Tell your hoe to get in
Instructing someone to join due to wealth
I'm countin' hunchos, Offset
Counting money in large amounts
All I do is set trends
Confidence in setting trends
She gon' do whatever in her power
Understanding someone's efforts to get close
To get next to me
Intending to spend time working (trap) for profit
I'm gon' hit the trap for bout' a hour
Engaging in profitable activities
Work the recipe
Referring to a profitable method (recipe)
If you ain't tryna talk no dollars I
Disinterest in non-financial conversations
Don't know what ya' said to me
Emphasizing the value of money in communication
Can't walk a mile inside my shoes then
Challenging others to understand personal struggles
You would never step with me
Inviting others to empathize with hardships
