Lyrics
Producer told me, every sample's a ghost Something old that you flip into what you need most Same with a man who messed up bad Took a long time to face the dad I missed a few birthdays, missed a few calls Pride on the pavement, back to the wall Then he said, son, come sit on the stoop No lecture, no speech, just a bowl of soup Chop it slow, find the key Let the past set you free Second chance, flip it right Take the old and make it light Second chance, run it back Fill the gap and stay on track Not erasing, just rearranged Same old record, but I changed I dug through crates of the things I broke Dusted off the words I never spoke Said sorry plain with no fancy rhyme Small step first, then a little more time He didn't forgive in one clean swing But he left the porch light on, that's the thing Slow rebuild like a rhythm track Every day a bit more of the way back Chop it slow, find the key Let the past set you free Second chance, flip it right Take the old and make it light Second chance, run it back Fill the gap and stay on track Not erasing, just rearranged Same old record, but I changed Some loops skip but they still play Some days drag but you find your way Hold the door for who's been waiting Love don't quit, it's just creating Now we trade a text every Sunday night Nothing too big, just a small kind light Learned that trust is a slow-built wall Brick by brick, you build it all So if you got a bridge you burned Walk it back, let the lesson turn Flip the sample, make it new Second chance is a gift for two Second chance, flip it right Take the old and make it light Second chance, run it back Fill the gap and stay on track Not erasing, just rearranged Same old record, but I changed Second chance Flip it right
