Chords
I'm including two ways to play the chords, in case you can't take on the barre chords yet.
Feel free to mix and match; it sounds pretty good with open Dm and barred Bb, for example.
I'll also list the intro here separately, since you probably only need this part at the beginning.
[Intro]
- Alternate between these first two positions, hitting the A & D strings (5th & 4th).
- The third (right-most) one is optional. Play it just once, after #2 and before #1.
It's like a "step" between.
- It also sounds best if you're throwing in some muting with either hand, if you are able to.

[Verse]
Dm His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy Bb C There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti Dm He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready Bb C To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting Dm What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud Bb C He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out Dm He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now Bb C The clock's run out, times up, over, blaoh! Dm Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity Bb C Dm Oh, there goes Rabbit. He choked, he's so mad but he won't Bb Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows C Dm His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope Bb He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant he knows C When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Dm Back to the lab again, yo Bb This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment C And hope it don't pass him
[Chorus]
Dm You better lose yourself in the music Bb C The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Dm You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow Bb C This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo Dm You better lose yourself in the music Bb C The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Dm You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow Bb C This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
[Verse]
Dm His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping Bb C This world is mine for the taking, make me king Dm Bb As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring C Dm But superstardom's close to post mortem Bb It only grows harder, homie grows hotter C Dm He blows. It's all over, these hoes is all on him Bb C Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads Dm God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father Bb C He goes home and barely knows his own daughter Dm But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water Bb C These hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product Dm They moved on to the next schmoe who flows Bb C Dm He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds Bb I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on Dm Da da dum, da dum da da da
[Chorus]
Dm You better lose yourself in the music Bb C The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Dm You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow Bb C This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo Dm You better lose yourself in the music Bb C The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Dm You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow Bb C This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[Verse]
Dm No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Bb C Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged Dm I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed Bb C I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage Dm But I kept rhyming and stepped, writing the next cypher Bb C Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper Dm Bb All the pain inside amplified by the fact C Dm That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 Bb And I can't provide the right type of life for my family C Dm Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers Bb C And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life Dm And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder Bb C Trying to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter Dm Caught up between being a father and a prima donna Bb C Baby mama drama's screaming on and too much for me to wanna Dm Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's Bb C Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail Dm I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot Bb C Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not Dm Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go Bb C Dm I cannot grow old in 'Salem's lot, so here I go it's my shot Bb C Feet fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus]
Dm You better lose yourself in the music Bb C The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Dm You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow Bb C This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo Dm You better lose yourself in the music Bb C The moment, you own it, you better never let it go Dm You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow Bb C This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo Dm You better
