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