Taking My Chances

You know me, I know you
 You got a plan, yeah, what else is new?
 You got your money, high intellect
 But just remember that you can't buy respect
 They say that I'm just another burnout
 And I'm wasting time
 Keep barking orders, scream and shout
 I'm gonna let you know
 I'm taking my chances
 I can't go no further down
 I live in the mansion
 Of the lost and found
 I wanna feel alive, why can't I
 Just bring this whole thing down?
 I'm taking my chances
 Of the ride, of the ride
 ♪
 I've been high, I've been low
 Got every reason to let you know
 You got degrees, I got the street
 Ain't nobody who could rescue me
 They want my back against the wall
 But I'm leaving dust
 I don't believe in them at all
 
 I'm taking my chances
 I can't go no further down
 I live in the mansion
 Of the lost and found
 I wanna feel alive, why can't I
 Just bring this whole thing down?
 I'm taking my chances
 Of the ride, of the ride
 ♪
 I'm taking my chances
 I can't go no further down
 I live in the mansion
 Of the lost and found
 I wanna feel alive, why can't I
 Just bring this whole thing down?
 I'm taking my chances
 Of the ride, of the ride
