Look
If you had
one shot
One opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted
In one moment
Would you capture it
Or let it slip?
Yo his palms are sweaty
knees weak
arms are heavy
vomit's 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 runs 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 sad that he
knows when he goes back
to his mobile home that's
when it's back to
the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
he better go capture this
moment before 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
Don't 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
Don't miss your chance
to blow this opportunity
comes once in a lifetime
The soul's escaping
through the hole
that is gaping
this world is mine
for the taking
Make me king
as we move towards
a new order
a normal life is boring
but superstardom's close
to postmortem
It only grows harder
homie grows hotter
he blows us all over
these h**s 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 comes
the cold water
His h**s don't want him
no more 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 partner
and the beat goes on
da da dum da
da da 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
Don't 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
Don't miss your chance
to blow this opportunity
comes once in a lifetime
No more games Imma
change what you call rage
tear this motherf**king
roof off like two dogs
caged I was playing in
the beginning
The mood's all changed
I've been chewed up
and spit out and booed off
stage but I kept rhyming
stepped right into
the next cypher
Best believe someone's
paying 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 'cause
man, these goddamn food
stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie
if there's no Mekhi Phifer
this is my life and these
times are so hard and
it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water
my seed plus
cease being caught up
between being a father
and a primadonna
Baby, mama drama's
screaming on her
too much for me to wanna
stay in one spot, another
day of monotony's
gotten me to a point
I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate
a plot or I end up in jail
or shot success is
my only motherf**king
option, failure's not
Mom I love you
but this trailer has got
to go I cannot grow old
in Salem's lot
so here I go it's my shot
feet fail me not
This may be 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
Don't 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
Don't miss your chance
to blow this opportunity
comes once in a lifetime
You can do anything
you set your mind to man
