C#m
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
AB
Thereʼs vomit on his sweater already, momʼs spaghetti
C#m
Heʼs nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
AB
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
C#m
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
AB
He opens his mouth, but the words wonʼt come out
C#m
Heʼs choking, how? Everybodyʼs joking now
AB
The clockʼs run out, times up, over, blaoh!
C#m
Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
ABC#m
Oh, there goes Rabbit. He choked, heʼs so mad but he wonʼt
A
Give up that easy, no, he wonʼt have it he knows
BC#m
His whole backʼs to these ropes, it donʼt matter heʼs dope
A
He knows that but heʼs broke, heʼs so stagnant he knows
B
When he goes back to his mobile home, thatʼs when itʼs
C#m
Back to the lab again, yo
A
This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment
B
And hope it donʼt pass him
Chorus:
C#m
You better lose yourself in the music
AB
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better
His soulʼs escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a New World Order
A normal life is borinʼ, but super stardomʼs close to post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows, itʼs all over, these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, heʼs known as the Globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows, heʼs grown farther from home, heʼs no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose ʼcause here goes the cold water
These hoes donʼt want him no moʼ, heʼs cold product
They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada
So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose itʼs old partna, but the beat goes on
Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-da
Chorus:
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better
No more games, Iʼma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckinʼ roof off like two dogs caged
I was playinʼ in the beginninʼ, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyminʼ and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebodyʼs payinʼ the Pied Piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I canʼt get by with my nine to
Five and I canʼt provide the right type of
Life for my family ʼcause man, these goddamn food stamps donʼt buy diapers
And its no movie, thereʼs no Mekhi Phifer
This is my life and these times are so hard
And itʼs getting even harder tryna feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter, caught up between beinʼ a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama, screaminʼ on her, too much
For me to wanna stay in one spot, another day of monotonyʼs
Gotten me to the point, Iʼm like a snail Iʼve got
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckinʼ option, failureʼs not
Mom, I love you, but this trailerʼs got to go, I cannot grow old in Salemʼs Lot
So here I go, is my shot
Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
Chorus:
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
You better
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
