[00:39.620]Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
[00:48.930]To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment
[00:54.140]Would you capture it or just let it slip?
[00:58.700]His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
[01:01.500]There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
[01:04.320]He's nervous, but on the surface
[01:05.320]he looks calm and ready
[01:07.080]To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
[01:09.870]What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
[01:12.610]He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
[01:15.370]He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
[01:18.120]The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!

[01:29.320]he knows his whole back city's ropes
[01:31.330]It don't matter, he's dope
[01:32.780]He knows that, but he's broke
[01:34.130]He's so stacked that he knows
[01:35.450]When he goes back to his mobile home,
[01:36.320]that's when it's
[01:37.820]Back to the lab again yo

[02:13.840]A normal life is borin,

[02:17.970]It only grows harder, only grows hotter
[02:20.650]He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
[02:23.550]Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
[02:26.320]Lonely roads, God only knows
[02:28.010]He's grown farther from home, he's no father
[02:30.510]He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
[02:33.190]But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
[02:36.020]His bosses don't want him no mo, he's cold product
[02:38.840]They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

[03:23.100]But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
[03:25.890]Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
[03:28.700]All the pain inside amplified by the fact
[03:31.850]That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
[03:34.529]And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
[03:38.160]Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
