Verse
His [Eb] palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit [B#] on his sweater already, [A#] mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, [Eb] but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop [B#] bombs, but he keeps on [A#] forgetting
What he [Eb] wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He [B#] opens his mouth, but the words [A#] won't come out
He's [Eb] choking, how? Everybody's joking now
The clock's [B#] run out, times up, [A#] over, blaoh!
Snap [Eb] back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
[B#] Oh, there goes Rabbit. He [A#] choked, he's so mad but he [Eb] won't
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he [B#] knows
His whole back's to these [A#] ropes, it don't matter he's [Eb] dope
He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant he [B#] knows
When he goes back to his mobile [A#] home, that's when it's
[Eb] Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody [B#] better go capture this moment
And [A#] hope it don't pass him
Chorus
You better [Eb] lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#] it, you better never let it [A#] go
You only get [Eb] one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [B#] opportunity comes once in a [A#] lifetime, yo
You better [Eb] lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#] it, you better never let it [A#] go
You only get [Eb] one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [B#] opportunity comes once in a [A#] lifetime
Verse
His [Eb] soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This [B#] world is mine for the [A#] taking, make me king
[Eb] As we move toward a new world order, a normal [B#] life is boring
But [A#] superstardom's [Eb] close to post mortem
It only grows harder, [B#] homie grows hotter
[A#] He blows. It's all over, these [Eb] hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's [B#] known as the Globetrotter [A#] lonely roads
God only knows [Eb] he's grown farther from home, he's no father
He [B#] goes home and barely [A#] knows his own daughter
But [Eb] hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
These [B#] hoes don't want him no [A#] more, he's cold product
They [Eb] moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold [B#] nada, so the soap [A#] opera is [Eb] told it unfolds
I suppose it's old partner, but the [B#] beat goes on
[Eb] Da da dum, da dum da da da
Chorus
You better [Eb] lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#] it, you better never let it [A#] go
You only get [Eb] one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#] comes once in a lifetime, [A#] yo
You better [Eb] lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#] it, you better never let it [A#] go
You only get [Eb] one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#] comes once in a lifetime, [A#] yo
Verse
[Eb] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this [B#] motherfucking roof off like [A#] two dogs caged
I was [Eb] playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been [B#] chewed up and spit out and [A#] booed off stage
But I [Eb] kept rhyming and stepped, writing the next cypher
[B#] Best believe somebody's [A#] paying the pied piper
[Eb] All the pain inside amplified by the [B#] fact
That I can't get [A#] by with my 9 to [Eb] 5
And I can't provide the right type of [B#] life for my family
Cause [A#] man, these goddamn food [Eb] stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's [B#] no Mekhi Phifer, [A#] this is my life
And these [Eb] times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to [B#] feed and water my seed, plus [A#] teeter-totter
Caught up [Eb] between being a father and a prima donna
Baby [B#] mama drama's screaming on and [A#] too much for me to wanna
[Eb] Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten [B#] me to the point I'm like a [A#] snail
I've got to [Eb] formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success [B#] is my only motherfucking [A#] option, failure's not
[Eb] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I [B#] cannot grow old in [A#] 'Salem's lot, so here I [Eb] go it's my shot
Feet fail me not, [B#] this may be the only opportunity [A#] that I got
Chorus
You better [Eb] lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#] it, you better never let it [A#] go
You only get [Eb] one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#] comes once in a lifetime, [A#] yo
You better [Eb] lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#] it, you better never let it [A#] go
You only get [Eb] one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#] comes once in a lifetime, [A#] yo
You [Eb] better⠀⠀
