Lloyd Banks Feat. Eminem Lyrics

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
If you were presented with one chance to achieve everything you ever wanted

To seize everything you ever wanted
To take hold of all of your desires

One moment
A single occasion

Would you capture it or just let it slip? Yo
Would you take advantage of it or just let it go?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
He is extremely nervous and anxious

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He is so anxious he may have vomited and got it on his clothing

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
Despite being nervous, he presents himself as composed and prepared

To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'
To perform excellently, but he can't seem to remember his lines

What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
The audience is loud and excited to hear his performance

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He tries to speak, but he is unable to

He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now
He is struggling to speak while everyone else is laughing

The clock's run out, time's up over, blaow!
His time is up and his chance is over

Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity
He returns to the present moment, losing his chance due to his fear

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
They are referring to the individual artist as Rabbit who failed to perform

He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No
He is frustrated, but won't easily surrender

He won't have it, he knows his whole back city's ropes
He is aware of all the tricks and skills in his hometown

It don't matter,
It is of no consequence

He's dope, he knows that, but he's broke
He is highly skilled but has no financial resources

He's so stacked that he knows
He is well-known

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
He returns to his modest home after his show

Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
He is going back to his studio to continue working on his music

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
He should seize this opportunity and try to make the most of it

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You should completely immerse yourself into the music and enjoy the present moment

You own it, you better never let it go
As you possess it, make sure to never let it slip away

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
You only have one opportunity, make sure to give your best performance

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
This chance may only happen once in your life

The souls escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
People are leaving through an opening in a wall

This world is mine for the taking
The world is available for him to conquer

Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
He wants to become the monarch as society changes

A normal life is boring, but super stardom's close to post-mortem
Ordinary life isn't appealing to him and superstardom is highly desired

It only grows harder, only grows hotter
The challenge increases with time

He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him
He impresses everyone and is highly sought after

Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
He tours the world and is known as an international performer

Lonely roads, God only knows
The path ahead is uncertain

He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He has distanced himself from his family and doesn't act as a father

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
He is home but doesn't know his own child well

But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
The negative consequences are coming

His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product
The women that were interested in him are no longer, as he is not successful anymore

They moved on to the next schmo who flows
They have moved on to the next aspiring artist

He nose dove and sold nada
He tried to succeed and failed to achieve anything

So the soap opera is told and unfolds
His story is full of drama and is being told

I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
It may be familiar, but life continues

Da da dumb da dumb da da
The beat continues and the future is uncertain

No more games, I'm a change what you call rage
His anger will lead him to seek change and success

Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
He will give a show-stopping performance

I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
He started his career for fun but is now taking it seriously

I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
He has been harshly criticized and rejected by audiences

But I kept rhymin' and stepwritin' the next cipher
He continues to practice and write new music

Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
He knows someone will pay him handsomely for his music

All the pain inside amplified by the fact
His emotional turmoil is exacerbated by his employment situation

That I can't get by with my nine to five
He can't support his family with his regular job

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
He can't give his family the standard of living they deserve

'Cause man, these God damn food stamps don't buy diapers
The assistance he's given isn't enough to cover basic necessities

And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
His life isn't like a movie, there isn't always a happy ending

And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
His life is in a bad place and things are becoming worse

Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus
He is struggling to provide for his child

See dishonor caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
He is caught between being a good dad and a diva artist

Baby mama drama screamin' on and
Baby's mother is creating drama and yelling at him

Too much for me to want to Stay in one spot,
He is too overwhelmed to stay in one location

Another day of monotony Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
Each boring day is causing him to feel as if he is moving slowly

I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
He has to plan so he doesn't end up in prison or killed

Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failures not
He must succeed as there aren't any other choices

Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go
He loves his mother but can't continue on his current path

I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
He doesn't want to settle down in his hometown

So here I go is my shot.
He is taking his chance

Feet fail me not 'cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
This is his only chance and he can't let it slip away

You can do anything you set your mind to, man
You can achieve anything you put your mind to
