00:02Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
00:05To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
00:08Would you capture it and just let it slip?
00:10His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
00:13There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
00:15He's nervous but on the surface he looks calm and ready
00:18To drop bombs but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down
00:21The whole crowd goes so loud
00:23He opens his mouth but the words won't come out
00:25He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
00:28The clocks run out, time's up, overblown
00:30Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity, oh there goes rabbit
00:34He choked, he's so mad but he won't give up
00:37That easy, no, he won't have it
00:38He knows his whole backs to these ropes, it don't matter
00:41He's dope, he knows that, but he's broke
00:43He's so stagnant, he knows when he goes back to this mobile home
00:46That's when it's back to the lab again
00:47Yo, this old Rhapsody, better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass
00:51You better lose yourself in the music
00:53The moment you own it, you better never let it go
00:56You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
00:59This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
01:01You better lose yourself in the music
01:03The moment you own it, you better never let it go
01:06You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
01:09This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
01:12You better
01:12His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping
01:15This world is mine for the taking
01:16Make me king as we move toward a new world order
01:20A normal life is boring
01:22But superstardom's close to post-mortem
01:24It only grows harder
01:25Home, he grows hotter
01:26He blows us all over
01:28These hoes, it's all on him
01:29Coast to coast shows
01:30He's known as the globe trotter
01:32Lonely roads, God only knows
01:33He's grown farther from home
01:34He's no father
01:35He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
01:38But hold your nose
01:39Cause here goes the cold water
01:40These hoes don't want him no more
01:42He's cold product
01:43They moved on to the next schmo
01:45Who flows, he knows dove
01:46And sold nada
01:47And sold a soap opera is told
01:49It unfolds
01:49I suppose it's old partner
01:51But the beat goes on
01:52Da-da-dum
01:52Da-da-dum
01:53You better lose yourself in the music
01:55The moment you own it
01:56You better never let it go, go
01:58You only get one shot
01:59Do not miss your chance to blow
02:01This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
02:03You better lose yourself in the music
02:05The moment you own it
02:06You better never let it go, go
02:08You only get one shot
02:09Do not miss your chance to blow
02:11This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
02:14You better
02:14No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
02:17Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
02:19I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
02:22I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
02:24But I kept rhyming and step right in the next cypher
02:27Best belief, somebody's paying the Pied Piper
02:29All the pain inside amplified by the fact that I can't get by with my 9 to 5
02:34And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
02:36Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
02:39And there's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer
02:41This is my life, and these times are so hard
02:43And it's getting even harder, tryna feed and water my seed
02:46Plus teeter-totter, corner between being a father and a prima donna
02:49Baby mama drama screaming on her, too much for me to wanna stay in one spot
02:53Another day of monotony's gotten me to the point I'm like a snail
02:56I've got to formulate a plotter and dump and jail a shot
02:59Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
03:02Mom, I love ya, but this trailer's got to go
03:05Why can't I grow old in Salem's lot, so here I go
03:08It's my shot, feet fail me not
03:09This may be the only opportunity that I got
03:12You better lose yourself in the music
03:14The moment you own it, you better never let it go
03:16You only get one shot
03:18Do not miss your chance to blow
03:19This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
03:22You better lose yourself in the music
03:24The moment you own it, you better never let it go
03:27You only get one shot
03:28Do not miss your chance to blow
03:30This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo, you better
