Look,if you had one shot,one oppoturnity
to seize everything you ever wanted-one moment
would you capture it,or just let it slip?

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 calm and ready
to drop bombs,but he keeps on forgettin
what he wrote down,the whole croud goes so loud
he opens his mouth,but the words wont come out
he's chokin,how everybody's jokin now
the clock's run out,time's up over,bloah!
snap back to reality,oh there goes gravity
oh there goes Rabbit,he choked
He's so mad,but he won't give up that
is he?no
he wont have it,he knows his whole back's to these ropes
it dont matter,he's dope
he knows that,but he's broke
he's so stacked that he knows
when he goes back to his mobile home,thats when its
back to the lab again yo
this whole rap shit
he better go capture this moment and hope it dont pass him

* [Chorus]
You better lose yourself in the music,the moment
You own it,you better never let it go
You only get one shot,do not miss your chance to blow
This oppoturnity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul's escaping,through this hole that its gaping
this world is mine for the taking
make me king,as we move toward a,new world order
a normal life is borin,but superstardom's close to post mortar
it only grows harder,only grows hotter
he blows us all over these hoes is all on him
coast to coast shows,he's known as the globetrotter
lonely roads,God only knows
he's grown farther from home,he's no father
he goes home and barely knows his own daughter
but hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
his hoes dont want him no mo,he's cold product
they moved on to the next schmoe who flows
he nose dove and sold nada
so the soap opera is told and unfolds
i suppose its old potna,but the beat goes on
da da dum da dum da da

*[chorus]

No more games,I'ma change what you call rage
tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin,the mood all changed
i been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
but I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher
best believe somebody's payin the pied piper
all the pain inside amplified by the fact
that i can't get by with my 9 to 5
and i can't provide the right type of life for my family
cuz man,these goddamn food stamps dont buy diapers
and its no movie,there's no Mekhi Phifer,this is my life
and these times are so hard and its getting even harder
tryin to fed and water my seed,plus
see dishonor caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
baby mama drama's screamin on and
too much for me to wanna
stay in one spot,another jam or not
has gotten me to the point,im like a snail
ive got to formulate a plot fore i end up in jail or shot
disaster is my only mothafuckin option,failure's not
mom,i love you,but this trail has got to go
i cannot grow old in salem's lot
so here i go as my shot
feet fail me not cuz maybe the only oppoturnity that i got

*[chorus]

Now that is the lyrics to the rap song im gonna perform later during pharmnite.its entitled "loose yourself' by rapper Eminem.
this is one rap song that i really love because of the story behind it.its the story of how a white man rose to fame as a worldwide known rapper.and the message behind the lyrics is to not ever give up and grab every oppoturnity that comes by,no matter what other people might think.
Now here comes my chance.yeah,i admit,im taking this whole pharmacy idol thing a bit too seriously.the last time i felt like this was when i took part in a public speaking competition during form 5.the feeling of anxiety was there,always.but i wanted to win.and win i did.
i always rap when i feel like it.but i never really made a rap performance,an actual one.and it is damn hard.seriously.it left me breathless.well,gotta stock up on warm water for that.
and i realised i seriously need to fill my stomach before practicing and performing.i mean,really fill it.because before i started practicing yesterday,i did have my dinner.2 hours after that,im hungry again!!
this is hard...i wonder how real rappers manage to do it their whole lifetime
sigh...but i cant give up now
you can do anything you set your mind to
and with that,i bid you goodbye
