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
Theres vomit on his sweater already, moms spaghetti
Hes 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 wont come out
Hes chokin, how, everybodys jokin now
The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
Hes so mad, but he wont give up that easy? No
He wont have it, he knows his whole back citys ropes
It dont matter, hes dope, he knows that, but hes broke
Hes so stacked that he knows, when he goes back to his mobile home, thats when its
Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it dont 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
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
The souls escaping, through this hole that its 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 super stardoms 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, hes known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows, hes grown farther from home, hes no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
His hoes dont want him no mo, hes cold product
They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose its old partna, but the beat goes on
Da da dumb da dumb 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
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, Im a change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin roof off like two 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 cipher
Best believe somebodys payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I cant get by with my nine to
Five and I cant provide the right type of
Life for my family cause man, these God damn food stamps dont buy diapers
And its no movie, theres no Mekhi Phifer
This is my life and these times are so hard
And its getting even harder tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
See dishonor caught up between bein a father and a prima-donna
Baby mama drama screamin on and too much
For me to want to say in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, Im like a snail Ive got
To formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin option, failures not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go, I cannot grow old in Salems lot
So here I go is my shot
Feet fail me not cause 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 you better
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 you set your mind to, man
