Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
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 forgettin
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 jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
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
Is he? No
He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap shit
He 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
The soul's escaping.
Through this hole that it's gaping.
This world is mine 4 the taking.
Make me king,as we move toward a new world order.
A normal life is borin.
But superstardom's close 2 post mortar.
It only grows harder.
Homeie grows hotter.
He blows us all over.
His hoes is all on him.
Coast－2－coast shows,he's know as the globetrotter.
Lonely roads,God only knows.
He's grown farther from home.
He's no father.
He goes home & barely knows his own daughter.
But hold Ur nose cuz here goes the cold water.
His bosses don't want him no mo,He's cold product.
They moved on 2 the next schmoe who flows.
He nose dove & sold nada & so the soap opera.
Is told it unfolds.I suppose it's old potna.
But the beat goes on.Da da dum da dum 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
No more games.
I'm gonna change what U call rage.。
Tear this motha1234in' roof off like 2 dogs caged.
I was playin' in the beginnin.
The mood all changed.
I been chewed up & spit out & booed off stage.
But I kept rhymin & stepwritin the next cypher.
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 2 5.。
And I can't provide the right type of-Life 4 my family.
Cuz man,these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers.
And it's no moviev,there's no Mekhi Phifer.
This is my life & these times are so hard.
And it's getting even harder tryin' 2 feed & water my seed plus.
Teeter-totter caught up between bein' a father & a prima donna.
Baby,Mama drama's screamin' on her too much.。
For me 2 wanna stay in one spot.。
Another day of monotony.
It's gotten me 2 the point I'm like a snail I've got.
So formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot.
Success is my only motha1234in option,failure's not.
Mom,I love U,but this trail has got.
To go I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot.
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet fail me not this maybe 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 can do anything you set your mind to, man
