[00:23.92] Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
[00:33.90] To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
[00:38.89] Would you capture it, or just let it slip?
[00:42.76] Yo! His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
[00:46.36] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
[00:49.24] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
[00:52.21] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
[00:54.97] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
[00:57.61] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
[01:00.42] He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
[01:03.14] The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
[01:06.14] Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
[01:09.71] There goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad but he won't
[01:12.55] Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows
[01:15.08] His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope
[01:18.04] He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows
[01:20.86] When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
[01:23.45] Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
[01:26.09] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him, and
[01:28.52] You better lose yourself in the music
[01:30.76] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[01:33.57] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[01:36.75] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[01:39.86] You better lose yourself in the music
[01:41.60] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[01:45.07] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[01:47.93] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[01:50.70] You better...
[01:51.27] His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping
[01:54.15] This world is mine for the taking, make me king
[01:57.42] As we move toward a New World Order
[01:59.70] A normal life is boring but superstardom's
[02:02.45] Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
[02:04.91] Only grows hotter, his hoes is all over
[02:07.87] These hoes is all over, coast-to-coast shows
[02:10.71] He's known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
[02:13.06] God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father
[02:16.58] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
[02:19.30] But hold your nose, 'cause here goes the cold water
[02:21.87] His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
[02:24.90] They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
[02:27.23] Who nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
[02:30.11] Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
[02:33.22] But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah, dah-dah
[02:35.68] You better lose yourself in the music
[02:37.60] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[02:40.95] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[02:44.05] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[02:47.05] You better lose yourself in the music
[02:48.95] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[02:52.08] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[02:55.12] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[02:57.82] You better...
[02:58.13] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
[03:00.88] Tear this motherf- roof off like two dogs caged
[03:03.63] I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
[03:06.50] I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
[03:09.32] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher
[03:12.43] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper
[03:15.28] All the pain inside amplified by the
[03:17.77] Fact that I can't get by with my 9 to 5
[03:21.25] And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
[03:24.79] 'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
[03:27.63] And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
[03:31.77] And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder
[03:34.66] Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
[03:37.55] Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
[03:40.03] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much for me to wanna
[03:43.25] Stay in one spot, another jam or not
[03:45.84] He's gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got
[03:48.40] To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
[03:51.06] Success is my only motherf- option, failure's not
[03:54.67] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
[03:57.31] I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
[03:59.68] So here I go, it's my shot, feet, fail me not
[04:02.45] 'Cause may be the only opportunity that I got
[04:04.71] You better lose yourself in the music
[04:07.53] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[04:10.41] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[04:13.67] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[04:16.39] You better lose yourself in the music
[04:18.90] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
[04:21.79] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[04:24.82] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[04:27.43] You

[Verse 1]
Mother!
You're holding my heart, screaming
Motherfucker!
They left me broken, bleeding
Son of...
The man you loved and left for
The son of a bitch!
Who tried to show me death's door
Everything's eliminated
Everything is dedicated
Tried to leave this life I hated
Living it was overrated

[Chorus]
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here

[Verse 2]
Ash and
Obituaries rain down
And suddenly
We're lying naked face down
What's it like decapitated?
Can't you see me fascinated?
You're the only thing I've damaged
Only death can be mismanaged

[Chorus]
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here

[Verse 3]
Don't bring me Daffodils
Bring a bouquet of pills
Seeds of Geranium
Cracked to the cranium
Protect me when you can
Respect me when I am dying

[Chorus]
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here
