His pa lms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mo m's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bo mbs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wr ote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He ope ns his mouth, but the words wo n't come out
He's cho king, how ? Everybody's joking now
The clock's r un out, times up, ove r, blaoh !
Snap ba ck to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit. He cho ked, he's so mad but he wo n't
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he kn ows
His whole back's to these ro pes, it don't matter he's dope
He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant he kn ows
When he goes back to his mobile h ome, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody bet ter go capture this moment
And ho pe it don't pass him
You better l ose yourself in the music
The moment, you own i t, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opport unity comes once in a lifet ime, yo
You better lo se yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get o ne shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opport unity comes once in a lifet ime
His so ul'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 superstard om's close to post mortem
It onl y grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows. It's all over, these hoes is a ll on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
God only knows he's grown farther from h ome, he's no father
He goe s home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here goes the col d water
These hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flo ws
He nos e dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds
I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum, da dum da da da
You better l ose yourself in the music
The moment, you own i t, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity come s once in a lifetime, yo
You better l ose yourself in the music
The moment, you own i t, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity come s once in a lifetime, yo
No mor e games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucki ng roof off like two dogs cag ed
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up a nd spit out and booed off sta ge
But I kept rhyming and stepped, writing the next cypher
Best believe somebody 's paying the pied piper
All th e pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by w ith my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these godd amn food stamps don't buy dia pers
And it 's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are s o hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bei ng a father and a prima donna
Baby m ama drama's screaming on and too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, ano ther 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
Succes s is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cann ot grow old in 'Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shot
Feet fail me not, thi s may be the only opportunity that I got
You better l ose yourself in the music
The moment, you own i t, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity come s once in a lifetime, yo
You better l ose yourself in the music
The moment, you own i t, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity come s once in a lifetime, yo
You better
