His palms are sweaty, knees weak arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already mums spaghetti and he's nervous
But on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down the whole crowd rose so loud
He opens his mouth but the words won't come out
And he's choking now everybody's joking now and the clock's run out time's up
Snap back to reality oh there goes gravity oh there goes rabbit he's 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
He's broke he's stagnant he knows when he goes back to his mobile home
It's back to the lab again oh this old rhapsody
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
His 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 super stardom is close to post mortem
It only grows harder, he only grows hotter he blows its all over
These hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows he's known as a globetrotter
Lonely roads, god only know his grown father from home he's no father
He goes home and barely know his own daughter
But hold your nose cos' here goes to cold water
His hoes don't want him no more he's cold product
They moved on to the next shmo 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 ba da da dum da dum...
You better lose yourself in the music the moment you own it, 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 imma change what you call rage, tear this mother-fucking roof off like two dogs caged
And I was playing in the beginning and the mood all changed
Well 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 this 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 cos' man these goddamn 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 trying to 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 to 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 mother-fucking option failure's not
And Mum I love you but this trail has got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot
Feet fail me or not
This may be the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music the moment you own it, 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, better never let it go
You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity comes.....
