[Intro]
Look, if you
had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything
you ever wanted…One moment
Would you
capture it or just let it slip?
[Verso 1 -
Eminem]
His palms
are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There’s vomit
on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
He’s nervous,
but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs,
but he keeps on forgettin
What he wrote
down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his
mouth, but the words won’t come out
He’s chokin,
how everybody’s jokin now
The clock’s
run out, time’s up over, bloah!
Snap back
to reality, Oh there goes gravity
Oh, there
goes Rabbit, he choked
He’s so mad,
but he won’t give up that
Is he? No
He won’t have
it ,
he knows his
whole back city’s ropes
It don’t matter,
he’s dope
He knows that,
but he’s broke
He’s so stacked
that he knows
When he goes
back to his mobile home,
that’s when
it’s
Back to the
lab again yo
This whole
rap shit
He better
go capture this moment
and hope it
don’t pass him
[Hook - Eminem]
You better
lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it,
you better never let it go
You only get
one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity
comes once in a lifetime yo
[Verso 2 -
Eminem]
The soul’s
escaping, through this hole that it’s gaping
This world
is mine for the taking
Make me king,
as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life
is borin, but superstardom’s close to post mortar
It only grows
harder, only grows hotter
He blows us
all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast
shows, he’s know as the globetrotter
Lonely roads,
God only knows
He’s grown
farther from home, he’s no father
He goes home
and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your
nose cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses
don’t want him no mo,
he’s cold
product
They moved
on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove
and sold nada
So the soap
opera is told and unfolds
I suppose
it’s old potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum
da dum da da
[Hook]
[Intro]
No more games,
I’ma change what you call rage
Tear this
mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin
in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed
up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept
rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe
somebody’s payin the pied piper
All the pain
inside amplified by the fact
That I can’t
get by with my 9 to 5
And I can’t
provide the right type of life for my family
Cuz man, these
goddam food stamps don’t buy diapers
And it’s no
movie, there’s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these
times are so hard and it’s getting even harder
Tryin to feed
and water my seed, plus
See dishonor
caught up bein
a father and
a prima donna
Baby mama
drama’s screamin on and
Too much for
me to wanna
Stay in one
spot, another jam or not
Has gotten
me to the point, I’m like a snail
I’ve got to
formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is
my only mothafuckin option, failure’s not
Mom, I love
you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow
old in Salem’s lot
So here I
go is my shot.
Feet fail
me not cuz maybe
the only opportunity
that I got
[Hook]
[Outro - Eminem]
You can do
anything you set your mind to, man
