[Intro]
No matter how bad yesterday or today was
There’s always tomorrow
So don’t you let anybody ever tell you you should give up
Never convince yourself to give up either
Give tomorrow a chance

[Verse 1]
I know you feel like quitting
All your dreams is what your real life isn’t
All you see is a real life system that you can’t conquer so now you the victim, huh
They got us caught in the mix
Snorting and fixed in order to fix a fragment of soul that dwells within
See the mind is the haven where hell begins
We gotta change that
Some will speak of death but we don’t claim that
We claim life ‘cause it’s rightfully ours and we got the power
These are the words of the one who endowed us
Now is the hour, the start over, all over
It’s not all over
Everything, even sorrow will pass
But you gotta learn to give tomorrow a chance, uh

[Hook]
Oh, give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
And oh, give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
Said you gotta give tomorrow a chance
[Verse 2]
They say stress kills
There’d be less stress if we had less bills
And we scared of the mailman
Where I’m from, everybody needs help, fam
Paying taxes from a small check, can’t afford to be insured
Dancing on a tight rope, uninsured
At a job we would kill to quit
But the rent don’t stop so we deal with it
Old folks getting cheated on they pension plan
See his dumb grandson and he’s spending grands
Iced out, no doubt, he gotta look cooler
Diamonds are bluer he got from the jeweler
School of hard knocks, got B and C
Students, the stupid, and receive a D like me
‘cause I ain’t even part of the class
I dropped out to give tomorrow a chance

[Hook]
Oh, give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
Said you gotta give tomorrow a chance
And oh, give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
I said you gotta give tomorrow a chance
[Verse 3]
Man, the hardships keep coming
No husband, but there’s a bun in the oven
How you gon’ balance your school and a job
And a child while the tears ooze from your eyes
Gained a little weight so you feel less attractive
Plus with a baby you come with some baggage
Dag, it’s like all your dreams is through
And now everybody knows what you need to do
Well, this is what you need to do
Let out the doubt and believe in you
You was built for this, you just gotta work harder
You be the father if dude won’t bother
Trust God and karma ‘cause they don’t [?]
Hold your head up high, girl, and raise those kids
Don’t let nobody ever tell you you can’t
I see you at graduation, give tomorrow a chance

[Hook]
Oh, give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
And oh, give tomorrow a chance
Said you gotta give tomorrow a chance
You gotta give tomorrow a chance
Oh, give tomorrow a chance
Give tomorrow a chance
Give tomorrow a chance
And oh, give tomorrow a chance
Give tomorrow a chance
Give tomorrow a chance

[Outro]
Yes, give
Give tomorrow
'tis better to give than receive so
Oh, what a beautiful gift, this gift of optimism
So join me
Let’s give tomorrow a chance
A beautiful gift
Tomorrow is waiting
Tomorrow is waiting, to receive your gift, your gift of optimism
Give tomorrow a chance
A chance
