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 **** |
|
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 |
