Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted, one moment Would you capture it? Or just let it slip, yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now The clock's run out, times up, over, blaw!
Snap, back to reality, oh, there goes gravity Oh, there goes Rabbit he choked, he's so mad but he won't Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope He knows that but he's broke, he so stagnant he knows When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again, yo This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment And hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping This world is mine for the taking, make me king As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring But superstardom's close to post mortem It only grows harder, only grows hotter He blows it's all over, these h**s is all on him Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water These h**s don't want him no mo', he's cold product They moved on to the next schmoe who flows He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on Da da dum, da dum da da da da
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this mothaf****n' roof off like two dogs caged I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhymin' and stepped, writin' the next cipher Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper All the pain inside amplified by the fact That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family Cuz man, these *** damn food stamps don't buy diapers And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama's screamin' on and too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot Success is my only mothaf****n' option, failure's not Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shot Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
