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