Too Many Chances
Travis Scott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or maybe a minute (oh yeah)
Do it
If you can be real for two seconds
Or maybe a minute
Do it, don't be shy
If you could be real for two seconds
Way too many fakes in my face, I can see the evils
Drug addictions, bad bitches
They gotta be chose, see the peacoat
Black slacks, it's R.I.P. clothes, see amigos
Laid back, I cock the nino, game time, gang time
No time to reload, handle mine, take mine
I've gotta deebo, can't waste a minute
Rap Yates, I master business, but still a menace
Peep my mojo I got together, I'm in my bag
Too many looks, they pocket watchin', gotta hit the gas
Look back, I see the clouds, these niggas doubt
They say a nigga'd never make it, now look at me now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hood times, I never cared, I pull up there
Outside your club, I'm at your club (yeah)
And I gave myself too many chances
Gave myself too many chances
Alcohol and all these dancers
Gave myself too many
Gave myself too many chances
Gave myself too many chances
Alcohol and all these dancers
Gave myself too many
If you can be real for two seconds
Or maybe a minute (oh yeah)
Do it, don't be shy
If you can be real for two seconds
If you can be real for two seconds
Or maybe a minute (oh yeah)
Do it, don't be shy
If you can be real for two seconds
Look back, I see the clouds, these niggas doubt
They say a nigga'd never make it now look at me now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hood times, I never cared, I pull up there
Outside your club, I'm at your club (yeah)
And I gave myself too many chances
Gave myself too many chances
Alcohol and all these dancers
Gave myself too many
Gave myself too many chances
Gave myself too many chances
Alcohol and all these dancers
Gave myself too many
Gave myself too many chances
Gave myself too many chances
Alcohol and all these dancers
Gave myself too many
If you can be real for two seconds
Or maybe a minute (oh yeah)
Do it, don't be shy
If you can be real for two seconds
Do it
If you can be real for two seconds, do it
Or maybe a minute
Do it, don't be shy
If you can be real for two seconds
Do it, don't be shy
You know that I miss you baby, don't be shy
You know that, you know that
In "Too Many Chances," Travis Scott reflects on his journey to success in the music industry, expressing the need for authenticity in a world full of fakes and doubters. The song opens with a plea for honesty, urging people to be real even for just a short moment. This sets the tone for a deeper exploration of Scott's thoughts and experiences.
The first verse addresses the challenges and temptations that come with fame, particularly the allure of drugs and women.

The club setting signifies his presence, popularity, and ability to call the shots.
The chorus reflects on the consequences of Scott's choices and actions. He confesses to giving himself too many chances, which could refer to indulging in alcohol and the allure of dancers.

It's a moment of self-awareness where Scott recognizes his own flaws and acknowledges the need for change.
The final verse reiterates the importance of authenticity. Scott emphasizes that being real, even for a short period, is crucial. He urges people not to be shy or hide behind masks, presumably encouraging them to be their true selves. This message serves as both a reminder to himself and a call to listeners to embrace their authenticity and not succumb to societal pressures.
The closing lines express a sense of longing, with Scott admitting that he misses someone. It is left open-ended, allowing for various interpretations, but it adds an emotional layer to the song, revealing vulnerability amidst the bravado and self-reflection. Overall, "Too Many Chances" conveys the complexities of fame, the need for authenticity, and the significance of personal growth.
