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