Look.. If you had..
One shot, or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted.. In 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 drops bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth but the words [bad word] out
He's chokin, how? Everybody's jokin now
The [bad word] out, time's up, over - blaow!
Snap back to reality, ohh - there goes gravity

Ohh - there goes rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't
Give up that easy nope, 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's so sad that he knows
When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rap [bad word] He 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 (go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [bad word] once in a lifetime

You better...

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
normal life is boring but superstardom's
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
Homie grows hotter, he blows it's all over
These hoes 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 cause here goes the cold water
These hoes 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, and so the soap opera
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old partner
But the beat goes on da-da-dum da-dum da-dah

You better - lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go (go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [bad word] once in a lifetime

You better...

No more games,
I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this [bad word] roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
Five and I can't provide the right type of
Life for my family, cause man, these god [bad word] Food stamps don't buy diapers, and there's no movie
There's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's gettin even harder

Tryin to feed and water my seed plus, teeter-totter
Caught up between bein a father and a primadonna
Baby momma drama screamin on her too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has 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 [bad word] 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 (go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [bad word] once in a lifetime

You better...

[Intro:]
Yo, if you could just, for one minute
Or one split second in time, forget everything
Everything that bothers you, all your problems
Everything, and follow me

If I was frozen inside of a moment
If I could capture time inside a capsule
An hourglass full of sand in the palm of my hand, it passes through it
If I can grasp it, and just control what happens to it
Then I can trap it, so no more time elapses through it
If raps could do it, maybe I could tap into it
Then I could try to channel it through Cadillacs and Buicks
To transmit through 'em, to make you put your [bad word] into it
And that's when you hit the roof because you can't sit through it
Your passion's too much for you to not be dancing to it
And as you do it, your movements [bad word] fast and fluent
You're mashin' to it, moshing until you're black and bluish
You're acting foolish, this music it has influenced you
To be rowdy but in an orderly fashion [bad word] it's chaotic, but it's got your body moving as a unit
Uniting together tonight, so make it last and you better just

Lose yourself in this music
This moment we own it, we won't never let it go (Go)
You better move yourself cause tomorrow's [bad word] can wait
There is no time, to sit there and procrastinate (you better)

Cause when we descend together, we begin to move as one
In perfect unison just like the moon and sun
Illuminate the room and humans soon [bad word] aluminum
Rhythmically in sync, if you'll excuse the pun
But if you could lose it once, I mean if you could let [bad word] go
Relax, take a breath, and just let it exit slow
To rest your soul, you could leave the rest to me
If I could give the world a hit of ecstasy
To make 'em feel the feeling that I'm feeling right this minute
Cause I feel like the night won't end til I get finished
So close the shades, makin' sure no light gets in it
The sky's the limit tonight because the night's infinite
high percentage of black people and white mixed in it
But no one really gives a [bad word] cause they just like what's spinnin'
His life was spinnin', the whole entire night just spinnin'
Like life's beginning, [bad word] out from inside your skin and quit hidin' in it

Lose yourself in this music
This moment we own it, we won't never let it go (Go)
You better move yourself cause tomorrow's [bad word] can wait
There is no time, to sit there and procrastinate (you better)
