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