[00:13.520]Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
[00:17.730]To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment
[00:20.540]Would you capture it or just let it slip?
[00:22.100]His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
[00:25.200]There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
[00:28.020]He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
[00:30.780]To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
[00:33.570]What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
[00:36.310]He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
[00:39.070]He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
[00:41.820]The clock's run out, time's up over, bloah!
[00:44.750]Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
[00:47.700]Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
[00:49.650]He's so mad, but he won't give up that
[00:51.620]Is he? No
[00:51.950]He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes
[00:54.130]It don't matter, he's dope
[00:56.480]He knows that, but he's broke
[00:57.830]He's so stacked that he knows
[01:00.050]When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
[01:02.420]Back to the lab again yo
[01:04.210]This whole rap shit
[01:05.420]He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[01:07.480]You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:33.120]This world is mine for the taking
[01:35.190]Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
[01:38.440]A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortar
[01:42.570]It only grows harder, only grows hotter
[01:45.250]He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
[01:48.150]Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter
[01:50.920]Lonely roads, God only knows
[01:52.610]He's grown farther from home, he's no father
[01:55.110]He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
[01:57.790]But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
[02:00.620]His bosses don't want him no mo, he's cold product
[02:03.440]They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
[02:05.690]He nose dove and sold nada
[02:07.560]So the soap opera is told and unfolds

[02:47.700]But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
[02:50.490]Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
[02:53.300]All the pain inside amplified by the fact
[02:56.450]That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
[02:59.130]And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
[03:02.760]Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
