La letra de esta canción, en inglés, es la que sigue:
Look, if you have one shot One opportunity That exceeds everything you've ever wanted One moment Would you capture it Or just let it slip? Yo
His palms are sweaty, needs sleep, heart is heavy Theres vomit on the sweater already This church is not having service it looks almost dead as he Drops by but they keep on the electric What a ghost town, he knelt down, don't know how He opens his mouth just the word "help" comes out He's broken down, yet his heart is open now The lost one's found, winds up homeward bound Heads back to his family -- Look who's home, daddy And, look, he's so happy, he chose his own path but he Won't give up babbling, he broke his old habits they Don't seen so bad to me, hope it's some fad Like New Coke or Shaun Cassidy Don't need no radical holy-rollin' masochist quotin' old passages That's what'll happen then, though, he'll go fanatic-y Better go batten the hatches and hope it don't last
You'd better look yourself in the mirror You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no? It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time? You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it In Romans, you never read it yet I know You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
His soul's been saved even though his whole family's gaping This world is blinded by Satan -- they can't see As he moves forward -- it's true George Orwell The moral of the story is truth's ignored, emotion's most important He'll only cause problems, the Holy Ghost got him He blows him all over, he knows the call's on him Goes to show his bros at his Alma Mater, "Welcome Back, Kotter" They know he's just one of their own, so don't bother Said, "Go home you barely know the Our Father" Well hold the phones cause he knows it holds water If those don't want him no more he'll go farther And he moved on and he read the Romans Road till he knows it cold and shows others He's on his soap box and his tone becomes bold, I suppose he's no martyr But the weak grows strong and the dumb becomes smarter
You'd better look yourself in the mirror You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no? It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time? You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it In Romans, you never read it yet I know You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
No more names, I've been changed, but you call it strange To tell my mother 'n father truth off the true God's page I was saying if you've been sinning pursue God's grace I've been shooed off and spit at like Rudolph the Reindeer But I kept shinin' a lamplight that I can't stifle You best believe somebody paid for my revival Call the name of Christ and go find a Bible Fact is I can't deny that I'm liable To die if my plans collide with life's iceberg Like the Titanic 'cause man needs God and you can't go buy a lifeboat And it's no movie; there's no surprise survivors This is high tide and you're tryin' to row hard And you're hittin' deeper waters tryin' to flee piranhas I see Plus seaweed's got ya caught up between PBJ Otter and Bikini Bottom Babe it's not a submarine you're on and you must believe the Son He'll save you on the spot, He's comin' ready or not I've got to be to the point just like a nail on the cross I formerly was lost, horrendously frail and fraught With questions I know how Mother Hubbard's dog felt -- famine, drought Mom, I love you but this world has got to know I cannot grow cold when Hell is hot So please don't go into shock Let the family talk This way is their only oppurtunity to find God
You'd better look yourself in the mirror You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no? It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time? You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it In Romans, you never read it yet I know You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
You can do anything if He gets inside you, man

La letra de esta canción, en español, es la que sigue:
Mira, si tuvieses un sólo disparo, una oportunidad Para conseguir todo lo que siempre quisiste. Un momento, lo capturarías, o lo dejarías escapar?
Sus manos están sudorosas, las rodillas débiles, y los brazos le pesan Ya ha vomitado en su suéter, el spaghetti de su mama Está nervioso, pero por fuera parece que está calmado y listo Para lanzar bombas, pero sigue olvidando Lo que anotó, la multitud hace escándalo Abre su boca, pero las palabras no salen Se esta ahogando, ahora todos hacen bromas Se agota el tiempo, se acabo el tiempo , Otra vez de vuelta a la realidad, oh, allá va la gravedad Oh, allá va Rabbit, se ahogo Esta muy enojado, pero no se rendirá O si? No No lo aguantara, conoce muy bien su ciudad No importa, el es bueno Lo sabe, pero no tiene dinero Está tan harto que lo sabe Cuando vuelve a su casa movible, es cuando vuelve al laboratorio otra vez Esta mierda de rap Mas le vale que capture este momento, y no lo deje pasar
[ESTRIBILLO]
Mas vale que te pierdas en la música, el momento Lo posees, será mejor que no lo dejes ir Sólo tienes un disparo, no pierdas tu oportunidad de explotar Esta oportunidad sólo viene una vez en la vida
El alma se está escapando, a través de este agujero que se ha roto Este mundo es mío para tomarlo Hacerme rey, mientras nos movemos hacia, una nueva orden del mundo Una vida normal es aburrida, pero el superestrellato está esta cerca de ser post mortal Esto se hace más difícil, mas caliente Es nos avienta sobre estas zorras, esta todo en el Espectáculos de costa a costa, es conocido como el trotador del mundo Se ha alejado mas de casa, no es un padre Va a casa y apenas si conoce a su propia hija Pero detén la respiración porque aquí viene el agua fría Sus jefes no lo quieren mas, es un producto frío Han elegido al siguiente tipo que se desenvuelve Su nariz se hundió y vendió nada La telenovela se dice y se desdobla Supongo que es noticia nueva, pero el ritmo sigue Da da dum da dum da da

Look, if you have one shot
One opportunity
That exceeds everything you've ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it
Or just let it slip? Yo
His palms are sweaty, needs sleep, heart is heavy
Theres vomit on the sweater already
This church is not having service it looks almost dead as he
Drops by but they keep on the electric
What a ghost town, he knelt down, don't know how
He opens his mouth just the word "help" comes out
He's broken down, yet his heart is open now
The lost one's found, winds up homeward bound
Heads back to his family -- Look who's home, daddy
And, look, he's so happy, he chose his own path but he
Won't give up babbling, he broke his old habits they
Don't seen so bad to me, hope it's some fad
Like New Coke or Shaun Cassidy
Don't need no radical holy-rollin' masochist quotin' old passages
That's what'll happen then, though, he'll go fanatic-y
Better go batten the hatches and hope it don't last
You'd better look yourself in the mirror
You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old
Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no?
It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time?
You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it
In Romans, you never read it yet I know
You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go
His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
His soul's been saved even though his whole family's gaping
This world is blinded by Satan -- they can't see
As he moves forward -- it's true George Orwell
The moral of the story is truth's ignored, emotion's most important
He'll only cause problems, the Holy Ghost got him
He blows him all over, he knows the call's on him
Goes to show his bros at his Alma Mater, "Welcome Back, Kotter"
They know he's just one of their own, so don't bother
Said, "Go home you barely know the Our Father"
Well hold the phones cause he knows it holds water
If those don't want him no more he'll go farther
And he moved on and he read the Romans Road till he knows it cold and shows others
He's on his soap box and his tone becomes bold, I suppose he's no martyr
But the weak grows strong and the dumb becomes smarter
You'd better look yourself in the mirror
You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old
Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no?
It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time?
You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it
In Romans, you never read it yet I know
You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go
His offer to you may come once in your lifetime
No more names, I've been changed, but you call it strange
To tell my mother 'n father truth off the true God's page
I was saying if you've been sinning pursue God's grace
I've been shooed off and spit at like Rudolph the Reindeer
But I kept shinin' a lamplight that I can't stifle
You best believe somebody paid for my revival
Call the name of Christ and go find a Bible
Fact is I can't deny that I'm liable
To die if my plans collide with life's iceberg
Like the Titanic 'cause man needs God and you can't go buy a lifeboat
And it's no movie; there's no surprise survivors
This is high tide and you're tryin' to row hard
And you're hittin' deeper waters tryin' to flee piranhas I see
Plus seaweed's got ya caught up between PBJ Otter and Bikini Bottom
Babe it's not a submarine you're on and you must believe the Son
He'll save you on the spot, He's comin' ready or not
I've got to be to the point just like a nail on the cross
I formerly was lost, horrendously frail and fraught
With questions I know how Mother Hubbard's dog felt -- famine, drought
Mom, I love you but this world has got to know
I cannot grow cold when Hell is hot
So please don't go into shock
Let the family talk
This way is their only oppurtunity to find God
You'd better look yourself in the mirror
You know that you wanted to get to Heaven when you're old
Do you really want God or not? Is it yes or no?
It's awful soon you say, but what is the right time?
You'd better look yourself in the book since you own it
In Romans, you never read it yet I know
You only get one shot to God, here's your chance to go
His offer to you may come once in your lifetime

Mira, si tuvieses un sólo disparo, una oportunidad
Para conseguir todo lo que siempre quisiste.
Un momento, lo capturarías, o lo dejarías escapar?
Sus manos están sudorosas,
las rodillas débiles, y los brazos le pesan
Ya ha vomitado en su suéter, el spaghetti de su mama
Está nervioso,
pero por fuera parece que está calmado y listo
Para lanzar bombas, pero sigue olvidando
Lo que anotó, la multitud hace escándalo
Abre su boca, pero las palabras no salen
Se esta ahogando, ahora todos hacen bromas
Se agota el tiempo, se acabo el tiempo ,
Otra vez de vuelta a la realidad,
oh, allá va la gravedad
Oh, allá va Rabbit, se ahogo
Esta muy enojado, pero no se rendirá
O si? No
No lo aguantara, conoce muy bien su ciudad
No importa, el es bueno
Lo sabe, pero no tiene dinero
Está tan harto que lo sabe
Cuando vuelve a su casa movible,
es cuando vuelve al laboratorio otra vez
Esta mierda de rap
Mas le vale que capture este momento,
y no lo deje pasar
[ESTRIBILLO]
Mas vale que te pierdas en la música, el momento
Lo posees, será mejor que no lo dejes ir
Sólo tienes un disparo,
no pierdas tu oportunidad de explotar
Esta oportunidad sólo viene una vez en la vida
El alma se está escapando,
a través de este agujero que se ha roto
Este mundo es mío para tomarlo
Hacerme rey, mientras nos movemos hacia,
una nueva orden del mundo
Una vida normal es aburrida,
pero el superestrellato está esta cerca de ser post mortal
Esto se hace más difícil, mas caliente
Es nos avienta sobre estas zorras, esta todo en el
Espectáculos de costa a costa,
es conocido como el trotador del mundo
Se ha alejado mas de casa, no es un padre
Va a casa y apenas si conoce a su propia hija
Pero detén la respiración porque aquí viene el agua fría
Sus jefes no lo quieren mas, es un producto frío
Han elegido al siguiente tipo que se desenvuelve
Su nariz se hundió y vendió nada
La telenovela se dice y se desdobla
Supongo que es noticia nueva, pero el ritmo sigue
Da da dum da dum da da
[Estribillo]
No más juegos, cambiare a lo que le llamas rabia
Tiro esta puta azotea, como 2 perros enjaulados
Estaba jugando al principio, mi humor cambio
He sido masticado y escupido
y me han corrido del escenario con abucheos
Pero sigo rimando, y armando el siguiente trozo
Mejor piensa que alguien paga al jurado colorido
Todo este dolor interior aumentado
Por lo que me pasa
eso que no puedo pasar con mis 9 a 5
Y no puedo proporcionar a mi familia una vida sana
Porque hombre, estos malditos vales alimenticios
no compran pañales
Y esto no es una película,
aquí no hay ningún Mekhi Phifer, es mi vida
Y estos tiempos difíciles se hacen aun mas difíciles
tratando de alimentar y regar mi semilla
Ver el deshonor de caer en el error
de ser padre y una prima donna
Gritando el drama del bebe de mama
Y es mucho para mi
como para querer quedarme en un solo lugar
Y esto me ha llevado al punto de convertirme en un vago
Tengo que formular un plan
antes de que termine en la cárcel o me disparen
Éxito es mi única puta opción, derrota no lo es
Mama, te amo, pero este camino debe terminar
No puedo hacerme viejo en el terreno de Salem
Y entonces aquí voy, es mi oportunidad
Pies míos no me fallen
porque podría ser la única oportunidad que tenga
[Coro]
Puedes hacer todo lo que tu mente quiera
