[intro]
look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
to cease anything you ever wanted, in one moment
what you capture, just let it slip, yo
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 drop bombs
but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down the whole crowd grows so loud
that he open's his mouth but the words won't come out
he's chokin' how, everybody's jokin' now, the clocks run out, times up,
over, plow!
SNAT!!!!!!!!!!,
back to reality, op'
there goes gravity, op'
there goes gravity, choke
he's so mad but he, won't
give up that easy, nope
he won't have it he, knows
he's whole back city's, ropes
it don't matter he's, dope
he knows that but he's, broke
he so sad that he, knows
when he goes back to this moble home
that's when, it's
back to the lab again, yo
this whole raps city better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass
him (you betta)
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
cuz this opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo (you betta)
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
cuz this opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo (you betta)
the souls escaping, through this hole that is gaping
this world is mine for the taking, make me king
as we move toward'a, new world ord'a, a normal life is boring
but superstardoms, close to post mortar
it only grows harder, homie grows hotter
he blows us all over, these hoes is all on him
coast to coast shows he's known as the globe trotter
lonely roads god only knows, he knows he grown farther from home
he's no father, he goes home and barely knows his own daughter
but hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
these hoes don't want him no mo' he's cold product
they moved on to the next smo' who flows he nose dove, ain't sold notta
so the soap opera's told and unfolds i suppose it's old partner
but the beat goes on da da dum da da dum, notta notta (you betta)
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
cuz this opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo (you betta)
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
cuz this opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo (you betta)
no more games, I'ma change what you call rage
tear this mother f**kin roof off like 2 dogs caged
i was playin in the beginning, the mood all changed
i been chewed up, and spit out and booed off stage
but I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next sypher
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'a
life for my family cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
and it's no movie, there's no Denzel or Meki Phifer,
this is my life and these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
see dishonour caught up bein a father and a prima donna
baby mama drama's screamin on and
too much for me to wanna
stay in one spot, another jam or not
has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail i've got
to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
success is my only mother f**kin option, failure's not
mom, i love you, but this trail has got to go
i cannot grow old in Salem's lot, so here i go is my shot
feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that i got (you betta)
lose yourself in the music, the moment, you own it, you better never let it
go
you only get one shot, (S**T) do not miss your chance to blow
cuz this opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo (you betta)
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
cuz this opportunity comes once in a life-time, yo (you betta)
you can do anything you set your mind to man
(music to fade)
