Dm
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Bb C
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
Dm
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
Bb C
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
Dm
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
Bb C
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
Dm
He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
Bb C
The clock's run out, times up, over, blaoh!
Dm
Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Bb C Dm
Oh, there goes Rabbit. He choked, he's so mad but he won't
Bb
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows
C Dm
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope
Bb
He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant he knows
C
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Dm
Back to the lab again, yo
Bb
This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment
C
And hope it don't pass him
Dm
You better lose yourself in the music
Bb C
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb C
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
Dm
You better lose yourself in the music
Bb C
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb C
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
Dm
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
Bb C
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
Dm
As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring
Bb C
But superstardom's close to post mortem
Dm
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
Bb C
He blows. It's all over, these hoes is all on him
Dm
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
Bb C
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
Dm
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
Bb C
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
Dm
These hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
Bb C
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
Dm
He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds
Bb C
I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
Dm
Da da dum, da dum da da da
Dm
You better lose yourself in the music
Bb C
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb C
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
Dm
You better lose yourself in the music
Bb C
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb C
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
Dm
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Bb C
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
Dm
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
Bb C
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
Dm
But I kept rhyming and stepped, writing the next cypher
Bb C
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
Dm
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
Bb C
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
Dm
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Bb C
Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
Dm
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
Bb C
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Dm
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Bb C
Caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Dm
Baby mama drama's screaming on and too much for me to wanna
Bb C
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Dm
Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail
Bb C
I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Dm
Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Bb C
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
Dm
I cannot grow old in 'Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shot
Bb C
Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
Dm
You better lose yourself in the music
Bb C
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb C
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
Dm
You better lose yourself in the music
Bb C
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb C
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
Dm
