Another Chance
Wez Clarke & Maxine Hardcastle Lyrics

Na na na na na na
Vocals of excitement and energy

Aw yea I've seen the devil and the devil is coke
I have witnessed the harmful effects of cocaine firsthand

Not down like that cuz it ain't a fuckin joke
I am not in favor of using cocaine because it is not a laughing matter

Trip ther shrooms fantastic
Taking magic mushrooms can be a mind-bending experience

Shit gets drasctic I didn't believe a word
The experience can be intense and unbelievable

Can you hear this can you hear in the
Asking if the listener can hear and feel the music

Make the music soothin' your system
The music has a calming effect on the listener

Come on now, come on now
Encouraging the listener to dance and enjoy the music

Hear the beat so sweet I shouldn't tell you how
Describing how enjoyable and irresistible the beat is

Im a freak yall Im a freak yall
Acknowledging that the artist has a unique style and personality

Much love to my man
Showing appreciation and respect for a friend or collaborator

Stan Thomas
Naming a specific person who is likely a friend or collaborator

Yea you say like what up to our man
Asking the listener to greet a person named Eddy Offord

Eddy Offord
Naming a specific person who is likely a friend or collaborator

You know I'm ready, yes to rock steady
Expressing readiness and enthusiasm to perform and entertain

My name's not Betty or Teddy, but Nick
Introducing oneself as Nick and not confusing with similar-sounding names

And I'm what you might call a heretic
Identifying oneself as a nonconformist or rebel

Yes, and I am from Nebraska
Stating where one comes from as a point of pride or identity

My girl is satisfied, you can ask her
Implying that one's partner is happy and content in the relationship

You know I've never visited Alaska
Admitting to never having traveled to a specific place

Huh, where the oil was spilt
Referencing a specific environmental disaster in Alaska

That drunken captain should be killed
Expressing anger and frustration with the person responsible for the disaster

For polluting the sea, an atrocity
Describing the oil spill as a terrible and unacceptable act

He still walks free, well
Commenting on the perceived lack of consequences for the captain's actions

This one goes to all the birds that drown
Dedicating a song to the innocent wildlife affected by the oil spill

Fuck the bullshit it's time to throw down
Rejecting negativity and calling for energetic and positive action

Just fuck the bullshit and get with it
Encouraging the listener to ignore negativity and embrace the music

It's time to throw down and so I said it words of
Announcing a call to action and energizing the listener with lyrics

Wisdom that will keep you guessing cause
Suggesting that the lyrics are deep and thought-provoking

I'm tired of laying and I'm tired of messing around
Expressing frustration with inactivity and indecision

With all those suckers
Referring to critics or naysayers

Yes, those stupid mother fuckers
Using profanity to emphasize frustration with critics or naysayers

Who put down what we do
Referring to negative comments or criticism about the music

We stand alone with the group that's new
Acknowledging the unique and original style of the music

If I was a dwarf, I'd surely be Dopey
Using a fictional character to describe oneself as easy-going or cheerful

I'm a stone wheat thin you can not culture
Describing oneself as unrefined or uncultured like a plain wheat snack cracker

Kick in the teeth a condescending frown
Describing how negative criticism feels like a painful and hurtful attack

Yeah, right about now I'd like to turn the mic over to my man
Handing over the microphone to another performer

SA Martinez
Naming a performer who is taking over the microphone

I am sly in the mix I am the mix master
Boasting about one's skills as a music producer and mixer

Death and destructor, lyric conductor
Using strong and intense imagery to describe oneself as a rapper or songwriter

Rollin with the rhythm of the rhyme I'm rollin
Describing oneself as a skilled rapper who can flow with the beat

Tim, he leads giutar, he's got the jets
Introducing a band member who is skilled on the guitar

Now the b-boys rockin breakin' moves on the floor
Describing the crowd dancing and showing off breakdance moves

311'S stepping out and you're yellin for more
Announcing the band's name and commenting on the enthusiastic response from the crowd

I'm hoping, I'm poetry in motion
Describing oneself as graceful and talented

When I fire I spray
Metaphorically describing one's skills and impact as a rapper

P-Nut, the bass drum is booming
Introducing a band member who plays the bass drum and describing their contribution to the music

And in your mouth the rhythm is booming
Metaphorically describing how the music feels powerful and intense

P to the N to the U to the T
Using the performer's initials in a playful and rhythmic way

Just fuck the has-been's and their stupid-ass rambling
Rejecting negative critics and their irrelevant opinions

Brothers saying bullshit you can't come through with
Addressing and rejecting negative criticism

Do it in the basement no complacence
Encouraging the listener to create and perform music without being too comfortable or complacent

It's time to kick the fuck in
Calling for action and energy against negativity and complacency

Begin to win no sin and then
Emphasizing the importance of taking action and winning while avoiding wrongdoing

Share it, declare it in the public domain
Encouraging the listener to share their music and art freely and publicly

I'd be perfectly glad if rap was a fad but it's not
Jokingly suggesting that one would be happy if their style of music was a temporary trend, but acknowledging that it is not the case

So I'd thought I'd come out with a shot
Announcing and introducing a new song or approach

Super dumb lyrics make you think I'm a clown
Acknowledging that some may underestimate or misunderstand the lyrics and style of the music

I don't give a fuck it's time to throw down
Expressing disregard for negative opinions and calling for energetic action and fun

That's right, knockin' them down
Celebrating and expressing confidence in one's ability to succeed

Nineties, all of that
Referring to the decade the song was created in and the cultural and musical trends of that time period
