Lyrics

Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in 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 choking, how? Everybody's joking now The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity Ope, 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 this 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 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 You better 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 postmortem It only grows harder, it only grows hotter He blows, it's all over, these hoes 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 'cause here goes the cold water These hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product A new dawn's a next schmoe who flows He nose-dove and sold nada, so the soap opera's told And unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner But the beat goes on, da-da-dom-da-dom-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 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 You better 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, but the mood all changed I've been chewed up and spit out and booed on stage But I kept rhyming and separating 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 goddamn 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 tryna feed and water my seed Plus teeter-totter, caught up in between Being a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama, screamin' "Anna" 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 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 it goes, my shot, feet, fail me not This may be the only opportunity that I've 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 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 You better You can do anything that you set your mind to, man
