Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy 
There is vomit on his sweater already 
Moms forgettin' 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 choking, how? Everybody's jokin' now 
The [bad word] out, time's up, over BLOW! 
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'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 rhapsody, better go capture this moment 
And hope it don't collapse on 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 [bad word] 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 [bad word] once in a lifetime you better,

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
normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know 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 ho'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 and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
 [bad word] ]
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go-o
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [bad word] 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 [bad word] once in a lifetime yo, you better

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this m*********n roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin 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 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these g****m food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pheiffer, 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 pre-madonna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
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 I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only m*********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 is 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
