[00:03:000] |
Look' if you had one shot' one opportunity, |
[00:10:000] |
To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment, |
[00:16:000] |
Would you capture it or just let it slip? |
[00:20:000] |
His palms are sweaty' knees weak' arms are heavy, |
[00:22:000] |
There's vomit on his sweater already' mom's spaghetti, |
[00:25:000] |
He's nervous' but on the surface he looks calm and ready, |
[00:28:000] |
To drop bombs' but he keeps on forgettin, |
[00:30:000] |
What he wrote down' the whole crowd goes so loud, |
[00:33:000] |
He opens his mouth' but the words won'te out, |
[00:35:000] |
He's chokin' how everybody's jokin now, |
[00:37:000] |
The clock's run out' time's up over' bloah! |
[00:40:000] |
Snap back to reality' Oh there goes gravity, |
[00:42:000] |
Oh' there goes Rabbit' he choked, |
[00:45:000] |
He's so mad but he won't give up that Easy? |
[00:46:000] |
Is he ?No |
[00:48:000] |
He won't have it he knows his whole back's to these ropes |
[00:59:000] |
It don't matter' he's ***********, |
[00:52:000] |
He knows that' but he's broke, |
[00:53:000] |
He's so stagnant he knows, |
[00:54:000] |
When he goes back to his mobile home' that's when it's, |
[00:57:000] |
Back to the lab again yo, |
[00:58:000] |
This whole rhapsody, |
[00:59:000] |
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him, |
[01:01:000] |
You better lose yourself in the music' the moment, |
[01:05:000] |
You own it' you better never let it go, |
[01:07:000] |
You only get one shot' do not miss your chance to blow, |
[01:09:000] |
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo, |

[01:22:000] |
The soul's escaping' through this hole that it's gaping, |
[01:26:000] |
This world is mine for the taking, |
[01:27:000] |
Make me king' as we move toward a' new world order, |
[01:30:000] |
A normal life is borin' but superstardom's close to post-mortem, |
[01:34:000] |
It only grows harder homie grows hotter, |
[01:36:000] |
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him, |
[01:39:000] |
Coast to coast shows' he's know as the globetrotter, |
[01:44:000] |
Lonely roads' God only knows, |
[01:45:000] |
He's grown farther from home' he's no father, |
[01:46:000] |
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter, |
[01:49:000] |
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water, |
[01:51:000] |
His hoes don't want him no more he's cold product, |
[01:53:000] |
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows |
[01:55:000] |
He nose dove and sold nada, |
[01:57:000] |
So the soap opera is told and unfolds, |
[02:00:000] |
I suppose it's old potna' but the beat goes on, |
[02:02:000] |
Da da dum da dum da da |
[02:03:000] |

[02:30:000] |
I was playin in the beginnin' the mood all changed, |
[02:33:000] |
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage, |
[02:34:000] |
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher, |
[02:37:000] |
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper, |
[02:40:000] |
All the pain inside amplified by the fact, |
[02:43:000] |
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5, |
[02:46:000] |
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family, |
[02:49:000] |
Cuz man' these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers, |
[02:52:000] |
And it's no movie' there's no Mekhi Phifer' this is my life, |
[02:55:000] |
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder, |
[02:58:000] |
Tryin to feed and water my seed' plus, |
[03:00:000] |
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna, |
[03:03:000] |
Baby mama drama's screamin on and, |
[03:04:000] |
Too much for me to wanna, |
[03:06:000] |
Stay in one spot' another jam or not, |
[03:07:000] |
Has gotten me to the point' I'm like a snail, |
[03:11:000] |
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot, |
[03:14:000] |
Success is my only *********in option' failure's not, |
[03:16:000] |
Mom' I love you' but this trail has got to go, |
[03:19:000] |
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot, |
[03:21:000] |
So here I go is my shot. |
[03:23:000] |
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got, |
