Look !
If U had one shot.
One opportunity.
To seize everything U ever wanted.
One moment.
Would U 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 & ready.
To drop bombs.
But he keeps on forgettin.
What he wrote down.
The whole crowd goes so loud.
He opens his mouth.
But the words won't come out.
He's chokin how.
Everybody's jokin now.
The clock's run out.
Time's up ! Over ! bloah !
Snap back 2 reality,Oh !
There goes gravity,Oh !
There goes Rabbit,he choked.
He's so mad but he won't.
Give up that easy is he ? No !
He won't have it he knows.
His whole back's 2 these ropes.
It don't matter,he's dope.
He knows that,but he's broke.
He's so stacked that he knows.
When he goes back 2 his mobile home.
That's when it's back 2 the lab again,Yo !
(This whole rap shit)He better go capture this moment.
And hope it don't pass him.
U better lose Urself in the music,the moment.
U own it,U better never let it go.
U only get one shot.
Do not miss Ur chance 2 blow.
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime,Yo-.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime,Yo-.
The soul's escaping.
Through this hole that it's gaping.
This world is mine 4 the taking.
Make me king,as we move toward a new world order.
A normal life is borin.
But superstardom's close 2 post mortar.
It only grows harder.
Homeie grows hotter.
He blows us all over.
His hoes is all on him.
Coast－2－coast shows,he's know as the globetrotter.
Lonely roads,God only knows.
He's grown farther from home.
He's no father.
He goes home & barely knows his own daughter.
But hold Ur nose cuz here goes the cold water.
His bosses don't want him no mo,He's cold product.
They moved on 2 the next schmoe who flows.
He nose dove & sold nada & so the soap opera.
Is told it unfolds.I suppose it's old potna.
But the beat goes on.Da da dum da dum da da.
U better lose Urself in the music,the moment.
U own it,U better never let it go.
U only get one shot.
Do not miss Ur chance 2 blow.
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime,Yo-.

No more games.
I'm gonna change what U call rage.
Tear this mothafuckin' roof off like 2 dogs caged.
I was playin' in the beginnin.
The mood all changed.
I been chewed up & spit out & booed off stage.
But I kept rhymin & stepwritin the next cypher.
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper.
All the pain inside amplified.
By the fact that I can't get by with my 9 2 5.
And I can't provide the right type of-
Life 4 my family.
Cuz man,these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers.
And it's no moviev,there's no Mekhi Phifer.
This is my life & these times are so hard.
And it's getting even harder tryin' 2 feed & water my seed plus.
Teeter-totter caught up between bein' a father & a prima donna.
Baby,Mama drama's screamin' on her too much.
For me 2 wanna stay in one spot.
Another day of monotony.
It's gotten me 2 the point I'm like a snail I've got.
So formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot.
Success is my only mothafuckin option,failure's not.
Mom,I love U,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 not this maybe the only opportunity that I got.
U better lose Urself in the music,the moment.
U own it,U better never let it go.
U only get one shot.
Do not miss Ur chance 2 blow.
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime,Yo-.

U can do anything U set Ur mind 2,man.
