[Guitar] [Eminem] Look. If you had one shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted In one moment Would you capture it Orjust let it slip Yo, 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 forgetting what he wrote down The whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth but the words won't come out He's chokin'how Everybody's jokin'now The clock's run out Time's up, over, blaow 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 easy No, he won't have it He knows his whole back's to these ropes It don't matter, he's dope He knows that, but he's broke He's so sad that he knows When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's back to the lab again Yo, this whole rap shit He better go capture this moment And hope it don't pass him Just melt in the music The moment you want it you better never let it go You only get one shot Do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime Give it up Just melt in the music the moment you want it You better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes Once in a lifetime Give it up Soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping This world is mine for the taking Make me king As we move toward a New World Order A normal life is boring But superstardom's close to postmortem It only grows harder Homie grows hotter He blows us all over His ho's 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 'cause here goes the cold water His ho's don't want him no mo' he's cold product And they moved on to the next schmo who flows He nose-dove and sold nada And so the soap opera Is told, it unfolds I suppose it's old, partner But the beat goes on Dah-da-dum, da-dum da-dah Lose yourself in the music The moment you want it You better never let it go You only get one shot Do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime Lose yourself in the music The moment you want it You better never let it go You only get one shot Do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime Give it up No more games I'm gonna change What you call rage Tear this motherfuckin'roof off Like two dogs caged I was playin'in the beginning The mood all changed I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in 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 nine-to- Five and I can't provide the right type of Life for my family 'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps Don't buy diapers And it's no movie There's no Mekhi Phifer This is my life and these times are so hard And it's gettin'even harder Tryin'to feed and water my seed plus Teeter-totter caught up between bein'a father and a prima donna Baby momma drama screamin' on her too much for me to wanna stay in one spot Another day of monotony's gotten me to the point I'm like a snail I've got to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot Success is my only motherfuckin'option Failure's not Mom, I love you but this trailer's got to go I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot, so here I go It's my shot Feet fail me not This may be the only opportunity that I got You better Lose yourself in the music The moment you want it You better never let it go You only get one shot Do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime Give it up Lose yourself in the music The moment you want it You better never let it go You only get one shot Do not miss your chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime Move it up You can do anything you set your mind to, man.

Cheddar, I can rip you to a shred of cheddar cheese. There's not a better M.C. than me. I'm B-Rabbit, bitch. Sting like a bee. Float like a butterfly. What am I? So what if I cut a guy? Did I s-s-stutter, guy? Leave you punch drunk From lunch truck to Shelter. You never felt the wrath of helter-skelter melt ya, got the belt for the welterweight champ. You got in with a fake stamp. [Chuckles] Garbage bag full of clothes, still pullin' ho's. Rip you from head to toe, from leg to bullet hole. Next gun, pull it slow. And aim at Tha Free World 'fore you let it go. Instead of, "Oh! I just shot my dick head." [Laughing] And yes, you do got a big head. I can't call it. Cheddar, where's your wallet? You're so drunk, you can out-drink the Alkoholiks. Make 'em say, "Damn! Cheddar's the man. He needs a can surgically removed from his hand..."
I'll give you a ride to work in the morning. [Woman On TV] I'm afraid you've made a mistake. I don't have any little colored girl in my class. [Woman #2] Why, there's Sarah Jane. There's my baby. You mean Sarah JaneJohnson? Yes, ma'am. I'm Mrs. Johnson.

You were scared. You were scared. No, you were scared. You were scared. Man, you know how many abandoned buildings we have in Detroit? How are you supposed to take pride in your neighborhood with shit like that next door? And does the city tear 'em down? No. They too busy building casinos and taking money from the people. Shut your preachin' ass up. Nobody care about that shit. Did you care when that crackhead raped that little girl? You think that would have happened if he didn't have an abandoned house to take her to? They caught him, didn't they? Yeah, they caught him. Dumb motherfucker went back to the house. How stupid could a nigga be? Yo, Rabbit. What's happening under that hood, man? It's just a short. Chill out. I ain't gettin' back in that piece of shit. It's a deathtrap. I think Jimmy's mom's tryin'to kill him. Yeah. But she's so goddamn fine. Hell, yes. Don't be sayin' shit about my mom or my fuckin' car, man. I hear everythin'.
