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