Performed by Gene Anthony Ray with Nia Peeples & Cynthia Gibb

Out in the streets
You have to fight for a place in line
You spend all day waiting
Just to find out the best has been taken

Here in the dark
There's a light that will always shine
There's a chance I can get what's mine
And I'm gonna take it

I know it's a long shot
It aint much but it's all I got
It's a long shot
I got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot

Out in the streets
People say that my lucks run out
That I can't always get what I want
I don't believe it

It's just out of reach
Yet someday it's gonna be mine
If you give me a little more time
I know I can make it

I know it's a long shot
It aint much but it's all I got
It's a long shot
I've got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot

Here in the dark
There's a light that will always shine
There's a chance I can get what's mine
And I'm gonna take it

I know it's a long shot
It aint much but it's all I got
It's a long shot
I've got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot

I know it's a long shot
It aint much but it's all I got
It's a long shot
I've got nothing to lose so I'm gonna play my long shot
