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?
Yooo,
His palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater al.ready, 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 choking how, everybody's joking 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 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's so stagnant he knows!
When he goes back to his mo!
bile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go 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 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 us all over, these hoes is all on him
Coast to 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 and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes 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 and unfolds
I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
x2
(You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

No more games I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified`by the
FACT. that I can't get by. with my nine to
FIVE and I can't PROVIDE. the right type of.
LIFE for my family Cause man, these god~`dam 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 trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between~ being a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of NOT
Has gotten me~ to the point, I'm like a snail I've got To formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking 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 is my shot.
Feet fail me not cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
x2

You can do anything you set your mind to, man
