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? Yo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Theres vomit on his sweater already, mom´s spaghetti
He has nervous, but on the surface he looks calm & 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 has chokin´ how, everybody´s jokin´ now
The clock´s run out, time´s up, over, BLOW!
Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he has 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 has dope
He knows that, but he has broke, he has so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that is when it is
Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment & hope it don´t colapse on 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
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
The soul´s escaping through this hole that´s gaping
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
As we move toward a, new world order
A normal life´s boring, 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 has known as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, god only knows he has grown farther from home
He has no father, he goes home & barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
These hoes don´t want him no mo´, he has cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove & sold nada
So the soap opera is told & unfolds, I suppose it is old partner
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
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
No more games, I ama change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf*ckin´ roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin´ in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up & spit out & booed off stage
But I kept rhymin´, stepped writin´ the next cypher
Best believe somebody´s payin´ the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I cannot get by with my nine to five
And I cannot provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these g****** food stamps don´t buy diapers
And theres no movie, theres no Mekhi Phifer
This is my life, & these times are so hard
And it is getting even harder tryin´ to feed & water my seed, plus
Teetertotter caught up between bein a father & a prima donna
Baby mama drama screamin on & too much for me to want to
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point I am like a snail
I have got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothaf*ckin´ option, failure´s not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer´s got to go
I can not grow old in Salem´s lot
So here I go with 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, do not 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 do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
To seize everything you ever wanted, one moment
