Chance the Rapper
Took A Chance
[Verse 1]
Alright
Hey, yo
I see you chillin' on some pompous shit
Laid back, with the squares like rhombuses
It's hard for me to approach as it is
Hard for me to talk, with my throat, heaven is
Shoes is busted up, feelin' dirty and scared
But I could be in a tux, and still feel unprepared
My palms was sweaty, my heart was heavy
My knees was weak, my heart was ready
To be broken and-and-then to be fixed, and ima let it
So I asked if you had interest, and where you headed
As time went on, I got the nerve and said
Let's grab a bite, and a movie and, we can
Head back to my crib, maybe chill in my bed
Maybe have a couple of kids, and get wed and
She said yeah, but you need to slow it
But, that's where it went, 'cause you were less
Of a crush, and more of a girlfriend
And I thought my girlfriend would be more of a best friend
I thought that maybe you would be down to play defense
But I guess that you decided that you wasn't impressed when
[Bridge]
I wanted you to be in my lifeline
It's somethin' 'bout us that, you just might find
Peculiar, I'm not in my right mind
She quietly just said that it's not the right time
[Verse 2]
May not be mister right, but I could be your mister right now
(It might not be the right time)
You put songs into my head, that I just gotta write down (I may not be the right one)
Lookin' for somethin' serious perhaps, (But there's something about us)
I could be more than a dude that just makes you laugh, (I want to say)
I could be more there, less up in the lab ('Cause there's something between us anyway)
I'm just tryna get cash, for us to live lav'
So you could ride around in Porsches (May not be mister right)
But I could be your mister right now (I might not be the right one)
You put songs into my head, (It might not be the right time)
That I just gotta write down
Lookin' for somethin' serious perhaps (But there's something about us)
I could be more than a dude that just makes you laugh (I've got to do)
I could be more there, less up in the lab (Some kind of secret)
I'm just tryna get cash, for us to live lav' (I will share with you)
[Bridge]
I want you more than anything in my life
I need you more than anything in my life
I love you more than anyone in my life
I'll miss you more than anyone in my life
[Verse 3]
You lied to put me on the floor
You set your sights on him, ahh-ohh
Flipped out, I sent you out the door
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
This is our luck baby, running out
Our clothes were never off, ahh-ohh
We still have our roads to run about
To scale the map, scale the map
Get us back on track
[Outro]
I feel defeated, it's like you're killing me
In my house made of paper, your words all over me
I feel defeated, and you're killing me
I feel defeated, it's like you're killing me
In my (Killing me) house made of paper (It's like your killing me) your words all over me
I feel defeated, and (It's like) you're killing me
In my house made of paper, your words all over me
I feel defeated, and you're killing me
