[Intro]
~#**************#~
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
~#**************#~
[Verse 1]
~#**************#~
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 forgetting
~#**************#~
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, ope, there goes gravity
~#**************#~
Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked, hes so mad
~#**************#~
But he wont give up that easy, no, he wont have it
~#**************#~
He knows his whole backs to these ropes, it dont matter
~#**************#~
Hes dope, he knows that, but hes broke, hes so stagnant
~#**************#~
He knows when he goes back to this mobile home, thats when its
~#**************#~
Back to the lab again, yo, this old rhapsody
~#**************#~
Better go capture this moment and hope it dont pass him
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You better lose yourself in the music
~#**************#~
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (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 (Go)
~#**************#~
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
~#**************#~
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
~#**************#~
You better
~#**************#~
[Verse 2]
~#**************#~
His souls escaping through this hole that is gaping
~#**************#~
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
~#**************#~
As we move toward a new world order
~#**************#~
A normal life is boring, but superstardoms
~#**************#~
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
~#**************#~
Homie grows hotter, he blows, its 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
~#**************#~
These hoes dont want him no mo, hes cold product
~#**************#~
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
~#**************#~
He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
~#**************#~
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose its old, partner
~#**************#~
But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah-dah-dah
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You better lose yourself in the music
~#**************#~
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (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 (Go)
~#**************#~
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
~#**************#~
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
~#**************#~
You better
~#**************#~
[Verse 3]
~#**************#~
No more games, Ima change what you call rage
~#**************#~
Tear this motherfuckin roof off like two dogs caged
~#**************#~
I was playin in the beginning, the mood all changed
~#**************#~
Ive been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
~#**************#~
But I kept rhymin and stepped right in the next cypher
~#**************#~
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 goddamn food stamps dont buy diapers
~#**************#~
And theres no movie, theres no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
~#**************#~
And these times are so hard, and its gettin even harder
~#**************#~
Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
~#**************#~
Caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
~#**************#~
Baby-mama drama, screamin on her, too much for me to wanna
~#**************#~
Stay in one spot, another day of monotonys gotten me
~#**************#~
To the point Im like a snail, Ive got
~#**************#~
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
~#**************#~
Success is my only motherfuckin option, failures not
~#**************#~
Mom, I love you, but this trailers got
~#**************#~
To go, I cannot grow old in Salems Lot
~#**************#~
So here I go, its my shot; feet, fail me not
~#**************#~
This may be the only opportunity that I got
~#**************#~
[Chorus]
~#**************#~
You better lose yourself in the music
~#**************#~
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (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 (Go)
~#**************#~
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
~#**************#~
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
~#**************#~
You better
~#**************#~
[Outro]
~#**************#~
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
