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