Take a Chance

[Intro: Wale] A couple of things This is as honest as I could be My sole objective is To love, listen, and respect her From this very second I’m just sayin' That she’s special enough for me To wanna protect you against you Don’t love me, shawty [Verse 1: Monica] I’m sure you did a lot of things Before I got in the picture Didn’t you? Wait, don’t tell me I know you kissed a lot of girls Told a lot of lies Broke a few hearts, but listen I ain’t feel none of that last night when you held me I just wanna believe that you Met a girl who felt something different (Different from the other ones) I believe that girl met you And saw someone who had some beautiful intentions [Chorus: Monica] So let’s just take a chance Take a hand Take a leap And do what most won’t understand (Let’s just take a chance) Who knows where we’ll end I’ll be down if you tell me you can’t I’ll learn to change my plans I’m willing to take that chance (Just take a chance) [Verse 2: Wale] Uh, settle down, queen No one better's you forever This for now, queen When the time’s right Get your mind right We will tell our whole town this is our thing But for now, queen This is how it be I could fully understand if you gotta leave When the time’s right Get my mind right I’ma get these bummy bitches from around me Got a past I’m ashamed of Past full of danger I can give you everything, but a last name is sacred All I ask is a chance that you take And be safe with yourself And never lack any patience I’m a young wild bull who been through a lot Use them fucking groupie bitches To conceal my heart I could stop I take them down But I take you out It’s funny how you got the ring And they always give up the box [Chorus: Monica] So let’s just take a chance Take a hand Take a leap And do what most won’t understand (Let’s just take a chance) Who knows where we’ll end I'll be down if you tell me you can’t I’m willing to change my plans [Bridge: Monica] I’mma pay attention To the obvious, oh So there’s no need for you to mention your past I’m ready [Chorus: Monica] So let’s just take a chance Take a hand Take a leap And do what most won’t understand (Let’s just take a chance) Who knows where we’ll end I’ll be down if you tell me you can't I’m willing to change my plans I’m willing to take that chance So let's take a chance
