Look if you had one shot or 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

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 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 stagnant 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

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 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 superstardom s close to post-mortem

It only grows harder only grows hotter

He blows us all over these hoes 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 cuz here goes the cold water

These hoes 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 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 ma change what you call rage

Tear this *********in 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 nine to five

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

Teetertotter caught up between bein a father and a prima donna

Baby mama drama screamin on and too much for me to wanna

Stay in one spot another day of monotony

Has gotten me to the point I m like a snail

I ve got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot

Success is my only *********in option failure s not

Mom I love you but this trailer s got to go

I cannot 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 better……

You can do anything you set your mind
