Chances Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro sets a raw, aggressive mood, asking for relief from pain while also hyping up the energy and intensity of the track.

[Chorus]
In this part, he’s talking about how dangerous his life has become and how he has to stay ready at all times. He makes it clear that nobody can try to rob or test him without serious consequences, even if it means jail. He reflects on how he went from being overlooked to now being someone who has to deliver in big moments. There’s a strong sense of paranoia, because success brought attention, enemies, and people waiting for him to slip. He explains that the people around him are hardened by the streets and don’t move with sympathy, since survival taught them to react fast and aggressively. Growing up in rough neighborhoods shaped their mindset early, where violence felt normal and choices often led to only one outcome. He talks about living on constant pressure, where time feels rushed and every day includes danger, fear, and avoiding trouble with the law. Even though he works nonstop and finally earns respect and money, he still feels like it’s never enough. Fame brings distractions and shallow relationships, which he doesn’t take seriously. He also touches on moments of pleasure and ego, showing how easy it is to get caught up in that lifestyle. At the same time, he’s aware that people have been watching him closely since he became famous, hoping to replace him or see him fail. Overall, this part shows a mix of pride, stress, hunger, and alertness, highlighting how success didn’t erase the street mindset but made it heavier.

[Verse]
Here, he looks back at where he started and how limited his life felt back then, when success was only something he could dream about. Now that he’s made it to the top, he feels like others need to recognize his place or move aside. He talks about buying expensive things as proof of his rise, but also admits that staying sober is hard because his thoughts don’t slow down. The bond with his crew is built on shared trauma and violence, which makes their connection strong but also dark. Because of the choices they’ve made, there’s no reset button, and every decision carries weight. He’s aware that karma exists and knows it could come back around, which clearly bothers him even if he tries to ignore it. He points out that people judge others based only on what they see, not the full story. Being surrounded by reckless people keeps life moving too fast, with no time to breathe. He mentions using substances to slow his mind and escape the constant pressure. Violence is described almost like creating an image or legacy, something twisted that becomes part of the culture around him. He explains how they respond aggressively to any threat, without hesitation, showing how deep the street mentality runs. Wearing masks and hiding identities shows the constant fear of consequences. References to historic struggle highlight feeling trapped and targeted even while riding in the back seat. The verse ends by reinforcing that violence has become normalized in his world, framed as something they do to protect their name and survival.

[Chorus]
This section again reinforces how risky his lifestyle is and how alert he has to stay. He emphasizes that trying to take what he earned won’t end lightly, even if it leads to arrest or worse outcomes. He reflects on his growth from being underestimated to now carrying heavy expectations. There’s a sense of readiness for confrontation, showing how fame didn’t remove danger but increased it. He talks about staying connected to people who are quick to react and don’t hesitate, because that’s how they learned to survive. The streets they grew up on forced them to mature early and accept violence as normal. Daily life feels like a nonstop race filled with stress, conflict, and avoiding legal trouble. Even with recognition and money finally coming in, he still feels like he has to grind endlessly. Success brings shallow attention and distractions that don’t really matter to him. He touches on moments of pleasure and confidence, showing the ego that comes with fame. At the same time, there’s constant pressure from people watching his rise closely, waiting for him to mess up. This part highlights how success, danger, pride, and fear all exist together, making it hard for him to ever fully relax or feel safe.
