Coming hard core looking like a gangster *****
Trying to front like you ain't rolling filthy rich
Laguna Hills you were born and raised
But you're claiming South Central is where you spent your days

Coming out hard talking crazy ****
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

Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout

Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout

Take a chance kid, take a chance
Take a chance kid, don't fall down hard again

'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 funny color that you're adorned with

So keep it real and always be true
Be yourself in all that you do
Stand up tall and get some respect
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 you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout

Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you
Tripping out 'cause you got no clout

Take a chance kid, take a chance
Take a chance kid, don't fall down hard again
