Dm
Look
Bb
If you had
Dm
One shot
Bb
Or one opportunity
Dm
To seize everything you ever wanted
Bb
In one moment
Dm
Would you capture it
Bb
Or just let it slip?
Yo
[Verse 1]
---------------------
Dm
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
Bb
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
Dm
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
Bb
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'
Dm
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
Bb
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
Dm
He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now
Bb
The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow!
Dm
Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
Bb
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
Dm
He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No
Bb
He won't have it, he knows his whole back city's ropes
Dm
It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that, but he's broke
Bb
He's so stacked that he knows, when he goes back to his mobile home, that's when its
Dm
Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
Bb
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Chorus]
---------------------
Dm
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
Bb
You own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
Dm
Lose yourself in the music, the moment
Bb
You own it, you better never let it go
Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
Bb
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
[Verse 2]
---------------------
Dm
The souls escaping, through this hole that its gaping
Bb
This world is mine for the taking
Dm
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
Bb Dm
A normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortem
Bb
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
Dm
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Bb
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
Dm
Lonely roads, God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father
Bb
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
Dm
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
Bb
His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
Dm Bb
They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada
Dm Bb
So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on
Da da dumb da dumb da da
[Verse 3]
---------------------
Dm
No more games, I'm a change what you call rage
Bb
Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
Dm
I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed
Bb
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
Dm
But I kept rhymin' and stepwritin' the next cipher
Bb
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
Dm
All the pain inside amplified by the
Bb
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
Dm
Five and I can't provide the right type of
Bb Dm
Life for my family 'cause man, these God damn food stamps don't buy diapers
Bb
And its no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer
Dm
This is my life and these times are so hard
Bb
And it's getting even harder tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus
Dm
See dishonor caught up between bein' a father and a prima-donna
Bb
Baby mama drama screamin' on and too much
[Verse 4]
---------------------
Dm
For me to want to say in one spot, another jam or not
Bb
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got
Dm
To formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Bb
Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failures not
Dm Bb
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go, I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
Dm
So here I go is my shot
Bb
Feet fail me not 'cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
[Outro]
