[Loose Yorself]: [Intro] Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment Would you capture it or just let it slip?
[Verse 1] Yo, 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 forgetting What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now The clock's run out, time's up, over—blaow! 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 easy, no, he won't have it, he knows His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again, yo! This whole rhapsody Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Hook] 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 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 You better…
[Verse 2] His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping This world is mine for the taking, make me king As we move toward a New World Order A normal life is boring; but superstardom's Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder Homie grows hotter, he blows, it's all over These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows He's known 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, ‘cause here goes the cold water These hoes 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, and so the soap opera Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner But the beat goes on: da-da-dum, da-dum, dah-dah, dah-dah
[Hook] 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 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 You better…
[Verse 3] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher Best believe somebody's paying the Pied Piper All the pain inside amplified by the Fact that I can't get by with my nine-to- Five, and I can't provide the right type of Life for my family ‘cause, man, these goddamn Food stamps don't buy diapers, and there's no movie There's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder Tryna feed and water my seed; plus, teeter-totter Caught up between being a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama, screaming on her Too much for me to wanna stay in one spot Another day of monotony's gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got to formulate a plot Or end up in jail or shot Success is my only motherfuckin' option—failure's not Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot So here I go, it's my shot, feet: fail me not This may be the only opportunity that I got
[Hook] 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 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 You better…
[Outro] You can do anything you set your mind to, man
[Rabbit Run]: [Verse] Some days I just wanna up and call it quits I feel like I'm surrounded by a wall of bricks Every time I go to get up I just fall in pits My life's like one great big ball of shit If I could just put it all into all I spit Instead of always trying to swallow it Instead of staring at this wall and shit While I sit, writer's block, sick of all this shit Can't call it, shit, all I know is I'm about to hit the wall If I have to see another one of mom's alcoholic fits This is it, last straw, that's all, that's it I ain't dealing with another fucking politic I'm like a skillet bubbling until it filters up I'm about to kill it, I can feel it building up Blow this building up, I've concealed enough My cup runneth over, I done filled it up The pen explodes and busts, ink spills my guts You think all I do is stand here and feel my nuts Well, I'ma show you what, you gon' feel my rush You don't feel it, then it must be too real to touch Peel the Dutch, I'm about to tear shit up Goosebumps, yeah, I'ma make your hair sit up Yeah, sit up, I'ma tell you who I be I'ma make you hate me, cause you ain't me You wait, it ain't too late to finally see What you closed-minded fucks were too blind to see Whoever finds me is gonna get a finder's fee Out this world, ain't no one out their mind as me You need peace of mind? Here's a piece of mine All I need's a line But sometimes I don't always find the words to rhyme To express how I'm really feeling at that time Yeah, sometimes, sometimes, sometimes It's just sometimes, it's always me How dark can these hallways be? The clock strikes midnight, one, two, then half-past three This half-assed rhyme with this half-assed piece of paper {*rip*} I'm desperate at my desk If I can just get the rest of the shit off my chest again Stuck in a slump, can't think of nothin' Fuck, I'm stumped up, wait, here comes somethin' {*crumples paper*} Nope, it's not good enough, scribble it out New pad, crinkle it up, and throw the shit out I'm fizzlin' now, thought I figured it out Ball's in my court, but I'm scared to dribble it out I'm afraid, but why am I afraid? Why am I a slave to this trade? Cyanide I spit to the grave Real enough to rile you up Want me to flip it, I can rip it any style you want I'm a switch hitter bitch, Jimmy Smith ain't a quitter I'ma sit until I get enough in me to finally hit a Fucking boiling point, put some oil in your joints Flip the coin, bitch, come get destroyed An MC's worst dream, I make 'em tense They hate me, see me and shake like a chain-link fence By the looks of 'em, you would swear that Jaws was comin' By the screams of 'em, you would swear I'm sawing someone By the way they're running, you would swear the law was comin' It's now or never, and tonight is all or nothin' Momma, Jimmy keeps leaving on us, he said he'd be back He pinky promised, I don't think he's honest I'll be back, baby, I just gotta beat this clock Fuck this clock, I'ma make 'em eat this watch Don't believe me? Watch, I'ma win this race And I'ma come back and rub my shit in your face, bitch I found my niche, you gon' hear my voice 'Til you sick of it, you ain't gonna have a choice If I gotta scream 'til I have half a lung If I have half a chance I grab it — Rabbit, run!
