Opportunity
KBong Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So there i was off to a good start
So young only thinking with my heart
My first love yeah she fueled my fire
But when it came down to it
The music was my only desire
And now I'm ready for anything that'll come my way
I gotta take my chances and I'll say what I got to say
And if I've learned one thing in the past few years
You gotta take as many risks as you can
And live your life with no fear

It could take a lifetime
We're not getting younger
Let your light shine it'll make you stronger
Everytime that you stand up feet on the ground
Walk through the door of opportunity

So the people come and the people yes they go
Well in the end what will you what will you show
Your hopes and dreams or your reality
I'm putting my thoughts into actions and the moment I will seize
Now I've sacrificed certain things in my life
I even had me a lady I could've made her my wife
And I had a job where I was the boss clocking in but I couldn't waste
No more time for a dime and I had to play this music of mine

It could take a lifetime
We're not getting younger
Let your light shine it'll make you stronger
Everytime that you stand up feet on the ground
Walk through the door of opportunity

In my life I'll always be on the road that's meant for me
Every chance I have I'll take it going as high as I wanna be

It could take a lifetime
We're not getting younger
Let your light shine it'll make you stronger




Everytime that you stand up feet on the ground
Walk through the door of opportunity
