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