Lord knows I've been sinning 
With a halo to disguise my flaws 
Saw the end in the beginning 
But I don't wanna die no more 
Give me a chance to live and learn 
Coz I don't wanna die no more 
Give me a chance to live and learn 
Coz I don't wanna die no more 

Give me a chance to live and learn 
I've been swerving through twists and turns 
Ashes sprinkled all in my soul
I have dreams of coffins and urns
Gasoline is poured in my home 
I sit back and watch pictures burn 
Now my memories are all that I own 
Let me know what you think it's worth 
Give me a penny for your thoughts and I'll split the difference I'm just tryna make this shit work 
Spent weeks in my room in the deepest of blues 
Then switched the mood with a disc inserted
So now when I spit these verses  
I picture the kids in the midst of the turbulence 
Searching for purpose 
Lifting the burdens 
It didn't occur that words can turn gifts into curses 
I'll learn to reverse it 
But how the f*ck am I supposed to tell em to do better 
I don't know better won't get a clue let a 
Lack of self-love impact my actions now
I'm backing a bottle until it's back to blacking out 
Splash the cash on bad habits 
Addict 
What I've become tryna' banish the baddest of thoughts
Had balance but I haven't managed to tap in 
To that mind state for a minute now 
Faith is diminished I'm 
Chasing a sinners crown 
Craving a bitter high 
To sugarcoat emotions 
I've been coasting hoping to float 
See my fate as it's swimming by 
Ain't saving me if I drown 
They ask if I wanna die 
It's hard to ignore those 
Thoughts when they're telling you to fall so 
Let me know what's the price of a poor soul 
Coz 

Lord knows I've been sinning 
With a halo to disguise my flaws 
Saw the end in the beginning 
But I don't wanna die no more 
Give me a chance to live and learn 
(Yeah yeah, oo yeah yeah) 
Coz I don't wanna die no more 
Give me a chance to live and learn 
(Yeah yeah, oo yeah yeah) 
Coz I don't wanna die no more 

Tell myself I need a couple more years 
And a couple more tears shed 
Couple more beers 
And a couple more peers telling me 
That I should quit it just so I can ignore them 
Still I can't stomach thought
Of em waking up mourning  
Thought that chasing a fortune would muffle the sound 
Of all my insecurities but they're as loud as ever
The pounds I get are just a minor distraction 
I'm under the assumption that when I get a milli 
I won't have to keep justifying my actions
I made it didn't I?
And they can't say shit anymore 
Am I not making a living
Off the pain that I'm living with 
I spill it, then I package and distribute it 
Like I couldn't a shit about who listens to it 
Put every inch of myself within music 
Like it's just for you but don't misconstrued  
Back in the days I was an attention seeking son of gun 
Fell in love with someone who didn't know that I would succumb 
To my lust to escape 
For a while I was stuck in my ways 
And now there's no one else around but it's like nothing has changed 
So- f*ck running away 
Just adjust to pain
And quit numbing it with substances and money and fame 
If you wanted to call it quits, I guess we're one of the same 
But instead of giving up we lift our head up and say 

Give me a chance to live and learn 
Give me a chance to live and learn 
Give me a chance to live and learn 
Give me a chance to live and learn 

Cause lord knows we've been sinning 
With some halos to disguise our flaws 
Saw the end in the beginning 
But we don't wanna die no more 
Give us a chance to live and learn
