Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunityTo seize everything you ever wanted, one momentWould you capture it?Or just let it slip, yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavyThere's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghettiHe's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and readyTo drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettingWhat he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loudHe opens his mouth, but the words won't come outHe's chokin' how, everybody's chokin' nowThe clock's run out, times up, over, blaw!
Snap, back to reality, oh, there goes gravityOh, there goes Rabbit he choked, he's so mad but he won'tGive up that easy, no, he won't have it he knowsHis whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dopeHe knows that but he's broke, he so stagnant he knowsWhen he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it'sBack to the lab again, yoThis whole rhapsody better go capture this momentAnd hope it don't pass him
You better lose yourself in the musicThe moment, you own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the musicThe moment, you own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gapingThis world is mine for the taking, make me kingAs we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boringBut superstardom's close to post mortemIt only grows harder, only grows hotterHe blows it's all over, these h**s is all on himCoast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no fatherHe goes home and barely knows his own daughterBut hold your nose cuz here goes the cold waterThese h**s don't want him no mo', he's cold productThey moved on to the next schmoe who flowsHe nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfoldsI suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes onDa da dum, da dum da da da da
You better lose yourself in the musicThe moment, you own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the musicThe moment, you own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
No more games, I'ma change what you call rageTear this mothaf****n' roof off like two dogs cagedI was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changedI been chewed up and spit out and booed off stageBut I kept rhymin' and stepped, writin' the next cipherBest believe somebody's payin' the pied piperAll the pain inside amplified by the factThat I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my familyCuz man, these *** damn food stamps don't buy diapersAnd it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my lifeAnd these times are so hard and it's getting even harderTryin' to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totterCaught up between bein' a father and a prima donnaBaby mama drama's screamin' on and too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony'sGotten me to the point I'm like a snailI've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shotSuccess is my only mothaf****n' option, failure's notMom, I love you, but this trailer's got to goI cannot grow old in Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shotFeet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the musicThe moment, you own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the musicThe moment, you own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blowThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yoYou better
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
