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't come 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 opportunity comes 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 opportunity comes 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 opportunity comes 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 opportunity comes once
|
in a lifetime yo
|
No more games
|
I'ma change what you
|
call rage
|
Tear this mothafuckin 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
|
mothafuckin 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 opportunity comes
|
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 opportunity comes once
|
in a lifetime yo
|
You can do anything you set
|
your mind to man
|
