Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted, one moment

Would you capture it or just let it slip?

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 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

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

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

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

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

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 can do anything you set your mind to, man [8]

译文

瞧着，如果你拥有 一次，一次机会

去完成你曾经梦想拥有的一切...此时此刻

你是抓住它还是仅仅让它溜走？

他的手掌在出汗，膝盖发软，双臂沉重

妈妈做的意大利面已经吐在了他的毛衣上

他紧张，但在表面上他看上去却很冷静 并且是准备好引爆全场.

但他却一直在忘记他写下的，

所有人群的起哄声、嘘声是那么的大

他张开他的嘴巴，但一词也说不出来。

他窒息了，此时所有人都在嘲笑他，

时钟不停地在走，结束时间已到，天啊！（这对他来说就像世界末日!)

迅速回到现实中来，失去重力般！

这里的人，他哑巴了.

他是如此疯狂，但他却没那样地放弃，不是吗? 对

他没有，他知道这整个背后的阴谋（种族歧视)

没关系，他是很强的

他知道那些，但他却身无分文 他如此悲伤因为他知道这

当他回到自己的活动房屋时（拖车），那就是他的时间了。

再次回到实验中.整个这个狂想曲

他最好是去抓住这个时刻且希望它不要再从他身边溜过。

你最好在音乐中迷失自我，在这个时刻。

你赢得它，你最好永远不要放走它，

你只有这一次机会，不要错过引爆众人的机会，

这种机会人生只有一次，哟。

你最好在音乐中迷失自我，在这个时刻。

你赢得它，你最好永远不要放走它，

你只有这一次机会，不要错过引爆众人的机会，

这种机会人生只有一次，哟。

他的灵魂正在通过这个打开的缺口中溜走

这个世界是我说的算的.

让我为王！让我们共同移向一个 新世界的秩序

一个平凡的人生是无聊的，但明星之路却让人接近死亡

这条道路会越来越艰苦，家人也越来越热情

他把我们全都引爆了，这些女人都为他发狂

全美的演出，他知道自己就像世界观光旅行家

只有上帝才知道他的道路是多么的孤独.

他的成长之路背井离乡，他没有父亲.

他回到家他勉强才认出他自己的女儿。

屏住呼吸，因为这里冷潮涌起。

这些女人们不在需要他，（因为）他是冷血动物。

他们到了下一个随波逐流的傻瓜那里.他鼻子潜入水中却什么都没有

所以故事从此展开。我觉得它实在老掉牙了，伙计，但是我还会跟着节拍继续

哒 哒 咚 嗒 咚 哒 哒 哒 哒...

你最好在音乐中迷失自我，在这个时刻。

你赢得它，你最好永远不要放走它，

你只有这一次机会，不要错过引爆众人的机会，

这种机会人生只有一次，哟。

你最好在音乐中迷失自我，在这个时刻。

你赢得它，你最好永远不要放走它，

你只有这一次机会，不要错过引爆众人的机会，

这种机会人生只有一次，哟。

不再是游戏了，我改变了 就是你们称之为的愤怒

我就他妈的像两只被关起的狗 掀翻狗笼一样

开始我是在玩，

（但是现在）风格却却全部变了。

我像口香糖一样被人咀嚼，再吐出来，被嘘下台

但尽管那样我还得保持镇定而且继续我的下一个节拍。

最好坚信被某人挖掘。

我所有的内心痛苦被不可逃避的事实放大。

事实上我再也不能度过这朝九晚五的生活。

还有我不能为我的家庭提供生活的过正常的生活

所以说 伙计，这些该死的粮票连尿布都买不起。

然而这不是电影，这里没有Mekhi Phifer（黑人 8英里 里边的电影演员），这就是我的生活。

这些时间是如此的艰难，让我的种子开花结果变的越来越困难

我的角色在一个父亲和一个自负的家伙之间艰难蹒跚的徘徊，

孩子 妈妈 尖声喊叫着 太多关于我想要的

停留在一个场所，千篇一律的每一天

他为做到这一点，我有时象个蜗牛。

所以要想出个计划了，否则我的结局就是坐牢或被射杀。

成功是我的唯一的选择，绝不容许失败

妈妈我爱你，但这拖车真应该滚蛋。

我不能一直在撒冷镇长大

所以我把握我的这次机会。

我不能失足或者失败 因为也许这是我唯一拥有的 这仅有一次的机会

你最好在音乐中迷失自我，在这个时刻。

你赢得它，你最好永远不要放走它，

你只有这一次机会，不要错过引爆众人的机会，

这种机会人生只有一次，哟。

你最好在音乐中迷失自我，在这个时刻。

你赢得它，你最好永远不要放走它，(走)

你只有这一次机会，不要错过引爆众人的机会，

这种机会人生只有一次，哟。

你只要坚持头脑中的信念，任何事情都能成功，伙计
