[Part 1]
[Instrumental]
[Part 2]
[Intro]
Look
If you had—
One shot
Or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
In one moment
Would cha capture it
Or just let it slip?
Yo
His palms are sweaty
[Verse 1]
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
Da drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow
Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity
Ope, 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 this mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lap again, yo, this old rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him and (You better)
[Chorus]
Lose yourself in the music
The moment, chu own it, chu 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, chu own it, chu 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—his soul's escaping)
[Verse 2]
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
Homie grows hotter, he blows, it's 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 cha nose 'cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
So they moved on from the next schmoe who flows
He nose-dove and sold nada,and so the soap opera
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom, da-da-da-da (You better)
[Chorus]
Lose yourself in the music
The moment, chu own it, chu 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, chu own it, chu 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—no more games)
[Verse 3]
I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying the Pied Piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine-da-
Five, and I can't provide the right type of life for my family
'Cause, man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Tryna feed and water my seed,plus, teeter-totter
Caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby-Mama drama, screaming on her, too much for me da wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's 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 motherfucking 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, it's my shot: feet, fail me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got
You better
[Chorus]
Lose yourself in the music
The moment, chu own it, chu 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, chu own it, chu 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 cha mind to, man
