lose yourself

[00:33.17] Look

[00:37.47] If you had

[00:37.67] One shot

[00:40.92] Or one opportunity

[00:43.89] To seize everything you ever wanted

[00:46.89] In one moment

[00:48.14] Would you capture it

[00:51.13] Or just let it slip?

[00:52.63] Yo

[00:53.89] His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

[00:56.42] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

[00:58.42] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

[01:02.39] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'

[01:04.67] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

[01:07.67] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

[01:10.67] He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now

[01:13.18] The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow

[01:16.17] Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity

[01:19.14] Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

[01:21.39] He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No

[01:23.14] He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes

[01:27.15] 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

[01:33.92] Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody

[01:35.63] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[01:38.67] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:40.97] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:43.74] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:46.95] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[01:49.45] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:52.44] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:54.72] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:57.94] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:00.71] You better

[02:01.72] His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping

[02:04.22] This world is mine for the taking

[02:05.98] Make me king, as we move toward a New World Order

[02:09.23] A normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortem

[02:13.47] It only grows harder, only grows hotter

[02:16.47] He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him

[02:18.98] Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter

[02:21.97] Lonely roads, God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father

[02:25.98] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

[02:29.53] But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water

[02:32.01] These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product

[02:35.03] They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada

[02:38.78] So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on

[02:43.78] Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-da

[02:46.02] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:48.28] You own it, you better never let it go

[02:50.78] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[02:54.03] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:56.78] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:59.38] You own it, you better never let it go

[03:01.98] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[03:05.20] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[03:07.70] You better

[03:08.95] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

[03:10.95] Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged

[03:13.69] I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed

[03:16.44] I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

[03:19.21] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher

[03:21.48] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper

[03:25.22] All the pain inside amplified by the

[03:27.97] Fact that I can't get by with my nine to

[03:30.73] Five and I can't provide the right type of

[03:33.73] Life for my family 'cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers

[03:37.96] And its no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer

[03:40.71] This is my life and these times are so hard

[03:42.96] And it's getting even harder tryna feed and water my seed, plus

[03:46.50] Teeter totter, caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna

[03:50.00] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much

[03:52.54] For me to wanna stay in one spot, another day of monotony's

[03:54.82] Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got

[03:57.57] To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot

[04:01.57] Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not

[04:04.81] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go, I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot

[04:09.60] So here I go, is my shot

[04:11.10] Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

[04:15.11] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:18.10] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:20.35] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:23.85] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:26.10] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:29.35] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:31.60] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:34.82] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:37.35] You better

[04:40.08] You can do anything you set your mind to, man
