Lyrics
Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
– Bheka, uma unethuba elilodwa noma elilodwa
To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
– Ukuze uthathe konke owake wakufuna ngomzuzwana owodwa
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
– Ingabe ubungayibamba noma umane uyivumele ukuba igxume?
Yo
– Uyo
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
– Izandla zakhe ziyajuluka, amadolo abuthakathaka, izingalo zinzima
There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
– Kukhona ukuhlanza ijezi lakhe kakade, i-spaghetti kamama
He’s nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready
– Unovalo, kodwa uma ebuka, ubukeka ezolile futhi ekulungele
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
– Ukulahla amabhomu, kodwa uyaqhubeka ekhohlwa
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
– Lokho akubhala phansi, sonke isixuku sizwakala kakhulu
He opens his mouth, but the words won’t come out
– Uvula umlomo wakhe, kodwa amazwi ngeke aphume
He’s chokin’, how? Everybody’s jokin’ now
– Ucindezelekile, kanjani? Wonke umuntu uyahlekisa manje
The clock’s run out, time’s up, over, blaow
– Isikhathi sesiphelile, isikhathi sesiphelile, blaow
Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity
– Buyela emuva eqinisweni, ope, kukhona amandla adonsela phansi
Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he’s so mad
– Ope, kukhona Unogwaja, yena choked, yena so mad
But he won’t give up that easy, no, he won’t have it
– Kodwa ngeke ayeke lokho kulula, cha, ngeke abe nakho
He knows his whole back’s to these ropes, it don’t matter
– Uyazi ukuthi wonke umhlane wakhe usezintanjeni, akunandaba
He’s dope, he knows that, but he’s broke, he’s so stagnant
– Usebenzisa izidakamizwa, uyazi ukuthi, kodwa uphelelwe yimali, umile kakhulu
He knows when he goes back to this mobile home, that’s when it’s
– Uyazi lapho ebuyela kuleli khaya elinamasondo, yilapho-ke lapho
Back to the lab again, yo, this old rhapsody
– Emuva elabhorethri futhi, yo, le rhapsody endala
Better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him
– Kungcono uhambe uyobamba lesi sikhathi futhi ngithemba ukuthi ngeke kudlule kuye
You better lose yourself in the music
– Kungcono ulahlekelwe wena emculweni
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
– Mzuzu, ungumnikazi walo, kungcono ungalokothi uyeke (Hamba)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
– Wena nje uthole shot eyodwa, ungaphuthelwa ithuba lakho ukuba blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
– Leli thuba livela kanye ekuphileni, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
– Kungcono ulahlekelwe wena emculweni
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
– Mzuzu, ungumnikazi walo, kungcono ungalokothi uyeke (Hamba)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
– Wena nje uthole shot eyodwa, ungaphuthelwa ithuba lakho ukuba blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
– Leli thuba livela kanye ekuphileni, yo
You better
– Kungcono
His soul’s escaping through this hole that is gaping
– Umphefumulo wakhe ubalekela kulo mgodi ovulekile
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
– Leli zwe lingelami ngokuthatha, ngenze inkosi
As we move toward a new world order
– Njengoba siqhubekela phambili ohlelweni lwezwe elisha
A normal life is boring, but superstardom’s
– Ukuphila okuvamile kuyisicefe, kodwa kuyisicefe
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
– Cishe ngemva kokufa, kuba nzima nakakhulu
Homie grows hotter, he blows, it’s all over
– Uhomie uyashisa, uyashaya, konke sekuphelile
These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows
– Zonke lezi zinsimbi zisemahlombe akhe, imibukiso esuka ogwini iye ogwini
He’s known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
– Waziwa ngokuthi Iglobetrotter, lonely roads
God only knows he’s grown farther from home, he’s no father
– Unkulunkulu uyazi ukuthi usekhulile kude nasekhaya, akayena ubaba
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
– Uya ekhaya futhi akazi lutho ngendodakazi yakhe
But hold your nose ’cause here goes the cold water
– Kodwa bamba ikhala lakho ngoba lapha kuhamba amanzi abandayo
These hoes don’t want him no mo’, he’s cold product
– Lezi zinsimbi azifuni ukuba angabi nayo, ‘ ungumkhiqizo obandayo
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
– Baqhubeka baya eschmoe elandelayo egeleza
He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
– Wadayisa unada, kanjalo ne-soap opera
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it’s old, partner
– Uyatshelwa, kuyavela, ngicabanga ukuthi sekuyisikhathi eside, umlingani
But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah-dah-dah
– Kodwa isigqi siyaqhubeka, da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah-dah-dah
You better lose yourself in the music
– Kungcono ulahlekelwe wena emculweni
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
– Mzuzu, ungumnikazi walo, kungcono ungalokothi uyeke (Hamba)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
– Wena nje uthole shot eyodwa, ungaphuthelwa ithuba lakho ukuba blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
– Leli thuba livela kanye ekuphileni, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
– Kungcono ulahlekelwe wena emculweni
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
– Mzuzu, ungumnikazi walo, kungcono ungalokothi uyeke (Hamba)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
– Wena nje uthole shot eyodwa, ungaphuthelwa ithuba lakho ukuba blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
– Leli thuba livela kanye ekuphileni, yo
You better
– Kungcono
No more games, I’ma change what you call rage
– Akusekho imidlalo, ngiyakushintsha lokho okubiza ngokuthi intukuthelo
Tear this motherfuckin’ roof off like two dogs caged
– Khipha lolu phahla olunjengolukamama njengezinja ezimbili ezivalelwe
I was playin’ in the beginning, the mood all changed
– Ngangidlala ekuqaleni, isimo sashintsha sonke
I’ve been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
– Ngiye ngahlafunwa futhi ngakhafula futhi ngakhahlelwa ngaphandle kwesiteji
But I kept rhymin’ and stepped right in the next cypher
– Kodwa ngaqhubeka ngishaya isigqi futhi ngangena ngqo embhalweni olandelayo
Best believe somebody’s payin’ the Pied Piper
– Kungcono ukukholelwa ukuthi othile ukhokha I-pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
– Zonke izinhlungu ngaphakathi zikhuliswa
Fact that I can’t get by with my nine-to-
– Iqiniso lokuthi angikwazi ukuphumelela nge-nine-to yami-
Five and I can’t provide the right type of life for my family
– Abahlanu futhi angikwazi ukunikeza uhlobo olufanele lokuphila komkhaya wami
‘Cause, man, these goddamn food stamps don’t buy diapers
– Ngoba, muntu, lezi zimpawu zokudla eziyinqaba azithengi amaphayiphu
And there’s no movie, there’s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
– Futhi ayikho i-movie, ayikho I-Mekhi Phifer, lokhu kungukuphila kwami
And these times are so hard, and it’s gettin’ even harder
– Futhi lezi zikhathi zinzima kakhulu, futhi kuba nzima nakakhulu
Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
– I-Tryna yondla futhi inisele imbewu yami, kanye ne-teeter-totter
Caught up between bein’ a father and a prima donna
– Ukubanjwa phakathi kokuba ‘ ubaba nomuntu ongeyena umuntu
Baby-mama drama, screamin’ on her, too much for me to wanna
– Baby-mama drama, ukumemeza kuye, kakhulu kimi ukuba ngifune
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony’s gotten me
– St endaweni eyodwa, olunye usuku lwemonotony ‘ s gotten me
To the point I’m like a snail, I’ve got
– Kuze kube seqophelweni lokuthi ngifane nesigcilikisha, nginaso
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
– Ukuhlela uzungu noma ukugcina usejele noma udutshulwe
Success is my only motherfuckin’ option, failure’s not
– Impumelelo iwukuphela kwendlela engingayenza ngayo, ukwehluleka akunjalo
Mom, I love you, but this trailer’s got
– Mama, ngiyakuthanda, kodwa le trailer inakho
To go, I cannot grow old in Salem’s Lot
– Ukuze ngihambe, angikwazi ukuguga Endaweni Yasesalem
So here I go, it’s my shot; feet, fail me not
– Ngakho lapha ngiya, kungukudubula kwami; izinyawo, ungangihluleli
This may be the only opportunity that I got
– Lokhu kungase kube ukuphela kwethuba engilitholile
You better lose yourself in the music
– Kungcono ulahlekelwe wena emculweni
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
– Mzuzu, ungumnikazi walo, kungcono ungalokothi uyeke (Hamba)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
– Wena nje uthole shot eyodwa, ungaphuthelwa ithuba lakho ukuba blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
– Leli thuba livela kanye ekuphileni, yo
