Risin' up, back on the street
Did my time, took my chances
Went the distance, now I'm back on my feet
Just a man and his will to survive

So many times, it happens too fast
You change your passion for glory
Don't lose your grip on the dreams of the past
You must fight just to keep them alive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Face to face, out in the heat
Hangin' tough, stayin' hungry
They stack the odds 'til we take to the street
For we kill with the skill to survive

It's the eye of the tiger, it's the cream of the fight
Risin' up to the challenge of our rival
And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watchin' us all in the eye of the tiger

Risin' up, straight to the top
Have the guts, got the glory
Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man and his will to survive
It's all fun and games until the flying monkeys attack.

    (best running song, ever)

    Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
    To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
    Would you capture it or just let it slip?

    Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
    There is 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 crowd goes so loud
    He opens his mouth but the words won't come out
    He's choking, how? Everybody's jokin' now
    The clock's run out, time's up, over BLOW!
    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 rhapsody, better go capture this moment
    And hope it don't collapse on him

    You better lose yourself in the music
    The moment you own it you better never let it go, oh
    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
    You better lose yourself in the music
    The moment you own it you better never let it go, oh
    You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
    Cuz opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
    You better

    Soul's escapin' through this hole's that is gaping
    This world is mines for the taking
    Make me king as we move toward a new world order
    A normal life is boring
    But superstardom's close to post mortem
    It only grows harder, homie 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 got him
    He knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
    He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
    But hold ya nose cuz here goes the cold water
    These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
    They moved on to the next shmo who flows
    Who nose dove and sold nada
    And so the so proper
    His toll, it unfolds and I suppose it's old, partner
    But the beat goes on
    Duh duh doe, duh doe, dah dah dah dah

    No more games, I'ma change for due called rage
    Tear this muthafuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
    I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed
    I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
    But I kept rhymin' and stepped writin' the next cipher
    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
    Cuz, man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
    And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Pfifer
    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 damn or not has 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 muthafuckin' option, failure's not
    Momma 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
    Cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got

    Duh doo
    You can do anything you set your mind to, man
