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? 

[Verse 1] 
Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy 
There is vomit on his sweater already 
Moms forgettin' 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 choking, how? Everybody's jokin' now 
The clock's run out, time's up, over BLOW! 
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 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 rhapsody, better go capture this moment 
And hope it don't collapse on him 

[Chorus] 
You better lose yourself in the music 
The moment you own it you better never let it go, oh 
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow 
Cuz 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, oh 
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow 
Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo 
You better 

[Verse 2] 
Soul's escapin' through this hole's that is gaping 
This world is mines for the taking 
Make me king as we move toward a new world order 
A normal life is boring 
But superstardom's close to post mortem 
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 Globetrotter 
Lonely roads got him 
He knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father 
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter 
But hold ya nose cuz here goes the cold water 
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold prada 
They moved on to the next shmo who flows 
Who nose dove and sold nada 
And so the so proper 
His toll, it unfolds and I suppose it's old, partner 
But the beat goes on 
Duh duh doe, duh doe, dah dah dah dah 

[Chorus] 

[Verse 3] 
No more games, I'ma change for due called rage 
Tear this muthafuckin' roof off like two dogs caged 
I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed 
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage 
But I kept rhymin' and stepped writin' the next cipher 
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 
Cuz, man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers 
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Pfifer 
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 pre-madonna 
Baby momma drama, screamin' on her 
Too much for me to wanna stay in one spot 
Another damn or not 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 muthafuckin' option, failure's not 
Momma 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 
Cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got 

[Chorus] 

[Outro] 
Duh doo 
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
