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'te 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 opportunityes 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
opportunityes 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 borin' but superstardom's
close to post mortar
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 cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses 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
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
opportunityes 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 opportunityes once in a lifetime yo
No more games' I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motha****in roof
off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin' the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and
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
to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man'
these goddam 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
See dishonor caught up
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 jam or 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 motha****in option' failure's not
Mom' I
love you' but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz 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 opportunityes 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 opportunityes once in a
lifetime yo
You can do anything you set your mind to' man
