Lose yourself

[00:35.38] Look

[00:37.76] If you had

[00:40.17] One shot

[00:42.29] Or one opportunity

[00:44.15] To seize everything you ever wanted

[00:47.61] In one moment

[00:49.21] Would you capture it

[00:51.86] Or just let it slip?

[00:53.46] Yo

[00:54.27] His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

[00:57.46] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

[01:00.38] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

[01:03.04] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'

[01:05.69] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

[01:08.61] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

[01:11.27] He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now

[01:14.19] The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow

[01:17.11] Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity

[01:20.03] Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked

[01:22.16] He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No

[01:24.81] He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes

[01:27.47] It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that, but he's broke

[01:30.39] He's so stagnant, he knows, when he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's

[01:34.11] Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody

[01:36.76] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[01:39.68] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:42.34] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:45.01] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:47.94] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[01:50.33] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:53.24] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:55.92] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:58.85] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:01.49] You better

[02:02.29] His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping

[02:04.96] This world is mine for the taking

[02:06.82] Make me king, as we move toward a New World Order

[02:10.54] A normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortem

[02:14.26] It only grows harder, only grows hotter

[02:17.45] He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him

[02:20.10] Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter

[02:23.03] Lonely roads, God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father

[02:27.27] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

[02:29.94] But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water

[02:32.59] These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product

[02:35.51] They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada

[02:39.79] So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on

[02:45.09] Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-da

[02:46.99] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:49.38] You own it, you better never let it go

[02:52.30] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[02:54.96] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:57.36] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[03:00.53] You own it, you better never let it go

[03:03.21] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[03:06.13] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[03:08.78] You better

[03:09.58] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

[03:11.70] Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged

[03:14.64] I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed

[03:17.57] I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

[03:20.23] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher

[03:23.14] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper

[03:26.08] All the pain inside amplified by the

[03:29.00] Fact that I can't get by with my nine to

[03:31.65] Five and I can't provide the right type of

[03:34.58] Life for my family 'cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers

[03:38.58] And its no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer

[03:41.50] This is my life and these times are so hard

[03:43.90] And it's getting even harder tryna feed and water my seed, plus

[03:47.67] Teeter totter, caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna

[03:51.13] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much

[03:53.52] For me to wanna stay in one spot, another day of monotony's

[03:56.71] Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got

[03:59.36] To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot

[04:02.01] Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not

[04:06.03] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go, I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot

[04:10.80] So here I go, is my shot

[04:11.87] Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

[04:16.12] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:19.04] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:21.47] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:24.65] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:27.34] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:29.99] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:32.65] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:35.58] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:38.25] You better

[04:40.91] You can do anything you set your mind to, man
