Beedo - The Speech

I been running through this life (life)
With no direction
Mama told me look both ways in a (look)
Intersection
But I'd have to find my path (path)
That's introspection
Turn a blind eye to the devil (no)
That's misdirection
I want to flex on them
Flex on my enemies
But I stay in my section not taking penalties
No flag, slow drag
Maintain my energies
Mind my business I know who paying my legal fees
That's me
I'm falling and I don't know who will catch me
Got a couple good friends, availability a luxury
I said luxury
The kind that never come free
The kind of heart that got security
A mind exactly where it's supposed to be
I know I wasted a lot of time, don't you agree?
I'm faced with a better light
I'm making a master key
I'm pacing the subtleties
I'm tasting the salty breeze
I'm falling, I'm falling, please just listen
She said you got one chance, no pass
One chance, at life
Mama said you got one chance, so dance
One chance, at life
She said you got one chance, no pass
One chance, at life
You only got one chance, so dance
One chance, that's right
Every second every day
It's all an opportunity
Ignored the lesson so many times, call it heard immunity
But truthfully I stupidly argued with such scrutiny
You were lifting me up
I shot you down, it's mutiny (bang bang bang)
High speed to the end of whatever life I been living
So lion-hearted, guarded
You'd think my door was Gryffin
I took the plunge so long ago
You think I'm still forgiven?
I been headed for the low
You think I'm still forgiven?
Usually I drown my sorrows
Watch me running from tomorrows
I have some baggage you could borrow
Pride you watched me swallow, swallow
I'm feeling like I'm past it
Keep running back like I was passed it
Catch myself too late, I passed it
Talk to my ghosts like I'm past tense
Like I'm past tense
Like I went over the fence
Where things will finally make sense
I'm dreaming, no access
I'm screaming, it's recess
The season, overdress
No reason, no process
Just listen
She said you got one chance, no pass
One chance, at life
Mama said you got one chance, so dance
One chance, at life
She said you got one chance, no pass
One chance, at life
You only got one chance, so dance
One chance, that's right
My mom really isn't one to lecture
But she did always have this one speech she'd give my brother and me growing up
That you only have one chance in this life
She only had one chance to raise us and teach us
And we only have one life to learn and be better
And if you're not using every second to the fullest
What are you doing?
