[00:32.42]Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
[00:41.73]To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment

[00:49.83]
[00:51.50]His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
[00:54.30]There''''s vomit on his sweater already, mom''''s spaghetti
[00:57.12]He''''s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
[00:59.88]To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
[01:02.67]What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
[01:05.41]He opens his mouth, but the words won''''t come out

[01:24.13]It don''''t matter, he''''s dope
[01:25.58]He knows that, but he''''s broke
[01:26.93]He''''s so stacked that he knows
[01:28.25]When he goes back to his mobile home, that''''s when it''''s
[01:30.62]Back to the lab again yo

[02:03.39]Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
[02:06.64]A normal life is borin, but superstardom''''s close to post mortar

[02:16.35]Coast to coast shows, he''''s know as the globetrotter
[02:19.12]Lonely roads, God only knows
[02:20.81]He''''s grown farther from home, he''''s no father
[02:23.31]He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
[02:25.99]But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
[02:28.82]His bosses don''''t want him no mo, he''''s cold product
