Fortune Favors The Bold

[Verse 1: Joy Oladokun]

Nobody listened

So she screamed out loud

She broke the dishes

When he tried to put his hands on her

She took the car keys, went to the police

Now he sittin' in a jail for life

'Cause somebody listened

Somebody listened

[Chorus: Joy Oladokun]

Fortune favors the bold

The one who's not lookin' for gold

Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight

Takes the longest road

Music favors the heart

Lonely notes in the dark

Only knows how to play all the sadness away

Makes a flame from a spark

[Post-Chorus: Joy Oladokun]

Fortune favors the bold

Fortune favors the bold

[Verse 2: Joy Oladokun]

Nobody listened

He's always quiet

Took pills from the cabinet

Stayin' up all night

But he had one friend always checkin' in

And he probably saved his life

'Cause he paid attention

He paid attention

[Chorus: Joy Oladokun]

Fortune favors the bold

The one who's not lookin' for gold

Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight

Takes the longest road

Music favors the heart

Lonely notes in the dark

Only knows how to play all the sadness away

Makes a flame from a spark

[Verse 3: Tim Gent]

Yeah, okay

His window pane seen way too many rainy days

In a broken home like Outkast in that "Ms. Jackson" video

It's water that's fallin' from the ceilin'

Somebody call someone to fix it

Spillin' blood in the water, yet intentions aren't cryptic

And the funds is fundamental, but see that fades away

And when it's gone, we left with spirit

It makes me wonder what it really cost to pay attention

Look, the pendulum swingin' back and forth

Like badminton and snippin' away

At that venomous snakehead, we call that the industry

I been prayin', smokin', tryna guard my energy

Remainin' hopeful, I'm just tryna maintain innocence

Maintain sanity while I'm settin' the table up for my lineage

And they can tell the greatest story that was ever told

'Bout how the fortune favors the bold, yeah

[Chorus: Joy Oladokun]

Fortune favors the bold

The one who's not lookin' for gold

Ain't afraid of the night, never runs from a fight

Takes the longest road

Music favors the heart

Lonely notes in the dark

Only knows how to play all the sadness away

Makes a flame from a spark

[Outro: Joy Oladokun]

Fortune favors the bold

Fortune favors the bold
