-
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
-
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 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, bloah!
-
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
-
Oh, 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 his mobile home, that's when it's
-
Back to the lab again, yo
-
This whole rhapsody
-
He 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 yo
-
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 yo
-
The 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 superstardom's close to postmortem
-
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
-
He blows us 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
-
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
-
They moved on to the next schmoe 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
-
Da da dum da dum da da
-

-
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
-
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 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 into 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 9 to 5
-
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
-
Cause 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's screaming on and
-
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 I 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
-
