Lose
yourself
Look, if you had, one shot, or
one opportunity
To seize everything you ever
wanted, one moment
Would you capture it?
Or just let it slip, yo
His palms are sweaty, knees
weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater
already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the
surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs, but he keeps on
forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole
crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the
words won't come out
He's chokin' how, everybody's
chokin' now
The clock's run out, times up,
over, blaw!
Snap, back to reality, oh,
there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit he
choked, he's so mad but he won't
Give up that easy, no, he won't
have it he knows
His whole back's to these
ropes, it don't matter he's dope
He knows that but he's broke,
he so stagnant he knows
When he goes back to his mobile
home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody better go
capture this moment
And hope it don't pass him
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, yo
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, yo
His soul's 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 boring
But superstardom's close to
post mortem
It only grows harder, only
grows hotter
He blows it's all over, these
h**s is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's
known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
God only knows he's grown
farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows
his own daughter
But hold your nose cuz here
goes the cold water
These h**s don't want him no
mo', he's cold product
They moved on to the next
schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada, so
the soap opera is told it unfolds
I suppose it's old partna, but
the beat goes on
Da da dum, da dum da da da da
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, yo
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, yo
No more games, I'ma change what
you call rage
Tear this mothaf****n' roof off
like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginning,
the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out
and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped,
writin' the next cipher
Best believe somebody's payin'
the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified
by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9
to 5
And I can't provide the right
type of life for my family
Cuz man, these *** damn food
stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no
Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and
it's getting even harder
Tryin' to feed and water my
seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a
father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin' on
and too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day
of monotony's
Gotten me to the point I'm like
a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or
end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothaf****n'
option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this
trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's
lot, so here I go it's my shot
Feet fail me not, this may be
the only opportunity that I got
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, yo
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, yo
You better
You can do anything you set
your mind to, man
