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