[00:13.520] |
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity |
[00:17.730] |
To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment |
[00:20.540] |
Would you capture it or just let it slip? |
[00:22.100] |
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy |
[00:25.200] |
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti |
[00:28.020] |
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready |
[00:30.780] |
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin |
[00:33.570] |
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud |
[00:36.310] |
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out |
[00:39.070] |
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now |
[00:41.820] |
The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah! |
[00:44.750] |
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity |
[00:47.700] |
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked |
[00:49.650] |
He's so mad, but he won't give up that |
[00:51.620] |
Is he? No |
[00:51.950] |
He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes |
[00:54.130] |
It don't matter, he's dope |
[00:56.480] |
He knows that, but he's broke |
[00:57.830] |
He's so stacked that he knows |
[01:00.050] |
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's |
[01:02.420] |
Back to the lab again yo |
[01:04.210] |
This whole rap shit |
[01:05.420] |
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him |
[01:07.480] |
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment |
[01:10.400] |
You own it, you better never let it go |
[01:13.220] |
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow |
[01:16.000] |
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo |
[01:18.700] |
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment |
[01:21.600] |
You own it, you better never let it go |
[01:24.180] |
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow |
[01:27.290] |
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo |
[01:30.460] |
The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping |
[01:33.120] |
This world is mine for the taking |
[01:35.190] |
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order |
[01:38.440] |
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortar |
[01:42.570] |
It only grows harder, only grows hotter |
[01:45.250] |
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him |
[01:48.150] |
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter |
[01:50.920] |
Lonely roads, God only knows |
[01:52.610] |
He's grown farther from home, he's no father |
[01:55.110] |
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter |
[01:57.790] |
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water |
[02:00.620] |
His bosses don't want him no mo, he's cold product |
[02:03.440] |
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows |
[02:05.690] |
He nose dove and sold nada |
[02:07.560] |
So the soap opera is told and unfolds |
[02:10.050] |
I suppose it's old potna, but the beat goes on |
[02:12.720] |
Da da dum da dum da da |
[02:13.960] |
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment |
[02:16.850] |
You own it, you better never let it go |
[02:19.380] |
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow |

[02:33.570] |
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo |
[02:36.770] |
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage |
[02:39.100] |
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged |
[02:42.100] |
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed |
[02:44.750] |
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage |
[02:47.700] |
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher |
[02:50.490] |
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper |
[02:53.300] |
All the pain inside amplified by the fact |
[02:56.450] |
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 |
[02:59.130] |
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family |
[03:02.760] |
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers |
[03:05.720] |
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life |
[03:09.520] |
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder |
[03:12.350] |
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus |
[03:14.150] |
See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna |
[03:18.040] |
Baby mama drama's screamin on and |
[03:19.610] |
Too much for me to wanna |
[03:21.020] |
Stay in one spot, another jam or not |
[03:23.340] |
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail |
[03:25.560] |
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot |
[03:28.900] |
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not |
[03:32.480] |
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go |
[03:34.950] |
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot |
[03:37.600] |
So here I go is my shot. |
[03:39.000] |
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got |
[03:42.560] |
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment |
[03:45.560] |
You own it, you better never let it go |
[03:48.030] |
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow |
[03:51.110] |
