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
ThereÔÇÖs vomit on his sweater already, momÔÇÖs spaghetti
HeÔÇÖs 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 wonÔÇÖt come out
HeÔÇÖs chokin, how everybodyÔÇÖs jokin now
The clockÔÇÖs run out, timeÔÇÖs up over, bloah!
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
HeÔÇÖs so mad, but he wonÔÇÖt give up that easy,
No
He wonÔÇÖt have it , he knows his whole back to this ropes
It donÔÇÖt matter, heÔÇÖs dope
He knows that, but heÔÇÖs broke
HeÔÇÖs so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, thatÔÇÖs when itÔÇÖs
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap ****
He better go capture this moment and hope it donÔÇÖt pass him
Chorus X2
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 soulÔÇÖs escaping, through this hole that itÔÇÖs 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 superstardomÔÇÖs close to post mortar
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows its all over, his boss is all on him
Coast to coast shows, heÔÇÖs know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows
HeÔÇÖs grown farther from home, heÔÇÖs no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
his bosses donÔÇÖt want him no mo, heÔÇÖs 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 itÔÇÖs old potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
Chorus X2
No more games, IÔÇÖma change what you call rage
Tear this motha****** 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 somebodyÔÇÖs payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I canÔÇÖt get by with my 9 to 5
And I canÔÇÖt provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps donÔÇÖt buy diapers
And itÔÇÖs no movie, thereÔÇÖs no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and itÔÇÖs getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter, caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama dramaÔÇÖs screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotomy
Has gotten me to the point, IÔÇÖm like a snail
IÔÇÖve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motha****** option, failureÔÇÖs not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer has got to go
I cannot grow old in SalemÔÇÖs lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got
Chorus X2
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
