[Intro:]

[Intro:]
 Look.. If you had.. 
One shot, or one opportunity 
 To seize everything you ever wanted.. In one moment 
 Would you capture it.. Or just let it slip? Yo.. 

[Verse 1:] 
 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 drops 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 chokin, how? Everybody's jokin now 
 The clock's run out, time's up, over - blaow! 
 Snap back to reality, ohh - there goes gravity 

 Ohh - there goes rabbit, he choked 
 He's so mad, but he won't 
 Give up that easy nope, 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 sad that he knows 
 When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's 
 Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rap [bad word] 
 He better go capture this moment 
 And hope it don't pass him 

[Chorus: 2x] 
 You better - lose yourself in the music, the moment 
 You own it, you 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 

You better... 

[Verse 2:] 
 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 
 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 your nose cause 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, and 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-dah 

[Chorus: 2x] 
 You better - lose yourself in the music, the moment 
 You own it, you 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 

You better... 

[Verse 3:] 
 No more games, 
I'ma change what you call rage 
 Tear this [bad word] roof off like two dogs caged 
 I was playin in the beginning, the mood all changed 
 I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage 
 But I kept rhymin and stepped right in 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, cause man, these god [bad word] 
 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 gettin even harder 

 Tryin to feed and water my seed plus, teeter-totter 
 Caught up between bein a father and a primadonna 
 Baby momma drama screamin on her 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 [bad word] 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 

[Chorus: 2x] 
 You better - lose yourself in the music, the moment 
 You own it, you better never let it go (go)
