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 palming ready to dry Bombs he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down. The whole crowd goes so loud Open.
Smile but the words won't come out.
He's choking how everybody's joking. Now the clocks run. Now time's up over blow. Snap back to reality. Up there goes gravity. Up there goes rapity. Chumped he's so mad but he won't give up. That is he. No, he won't have it. He knows it's all back to this 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 all rhapsody better go.
Capture this moment. Hope it don't pass him by. Hope it don't pass him by. Hope it don't pass him by.

You better never ever let it go. You only get one shot.

The 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. I know my life is boring.
Superstardom's close to postmortem.
It only grows hotter. Homie grows hotter. He blows us all over these hoses all on him coast to coast shows he's known as the Globetrotter. Lonely roads, God only knows. He's grown further from home. He's no father.
He goes home and bet he knows his own daughter. But hold your nose. Cause here goes the cold water. These hoes don't want him no more. He's cold water. They moved on to the next schmo who flows the nose dove and soul nada so the old robber is told. It unfolds. I suppose it's so, partner. But the beat goes on. Da da da da da da.
Now this is the music.
The moment you own it.
You better never ever let it go. You only get one shot.
Do not miss your chance to blow.
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime.
This is the music. The moment you own it.
You better never ever let it go. You only get one shot.
Do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime, Sam.
