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
