"Lose Yourself"

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?

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 crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking 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
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 stagnant that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Hook:]
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 opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
(You better)

The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's 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 post mortem
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know 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 hoes don't want him no more, 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 it's old partner but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Hook]

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepwritin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying 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
Cause man, these goddam 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 getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfucking 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

[Hook]

 FOOD FAIL FRIDAY... OMG FOOD FAIL! Yesterday:  Dinner time and I get home from the museum starving.. had to run an errand near a bunch of restaurants (walmart) so we were going to hit Texas Roadhouse for some steak (sInce I had walked the kids through a huge museum ALL day)...So we walked through walmart to get what we needed, we were in the grocery section when the whole store lost power.. 10 minutes later, the backup generator finally came on and we checked out (by the way, with cod fillets frozen, for $3.94/lb), got outside and all you could smell was burning stinky fried transformer... UGH! And the ENTIRE neighborhood/store strip was dark. No Steak for me! So we went to the other end of town, and hubby and I couldn't decide, so the kids were starving, we got them happy meals... Hubby didn't want a chicken sandwich because they're up 50Cents from last time, and they're not worth the extra money, but I decided against them too, and against a bigmac, and against a fish filet, but I was finally going to go for a pineapple mango smoothie, and decided against that last minute too... Now I'm feeling really dumpy because I'm still starving and I passed up on something somewhat good, AND I wasn't getting steak... So we headed home with the kids quietly eating in the back of the car. Half way home, hubby suggested Pizza, chinese, or splitting a korean dinner in town.. best korean restaurant EVA.. so I have them on speed dial.. THEY'RE ON FRICKIN VACATION THIS WEEK! I was about to have a nervous breakdown right there on the highway exit ramp! I was literally screaming at my phone, on the exit ramp of the highway, ready to bang it against the dashboard, when I heard the answering machine at the korean place, it was pretty funny.....Can I GET SOME DARN FOOD!??? So I wandered around the supermarket starving, and last night's dinner is all I could come up with...buffalo wings and lobster bisque, SO BAD!  I was craving a creamy soup, because we had passed an olive garden on the way to run errands and I love their gnocchi soup...Sheesh!!! FOOD FAIL!

Found this recipe today on Simplyrecipes.com, a great little food blog I follow religiously.  

 She doesn't make much that's 'light' though, so I have to alter the recipes to make them healthier.

 Here is the original:   http://simplyrecipes.com/recipes/cherry_tomato_orzo_salad/

And here's my version:

 I really like the lemon juice as the tart, instead of the traditional vinegar, even cider vinegar would have more of a bite.

Prepare the orzo, add olive oil and chill.

prepare remaining ingredients, chill and add to orzo, toss and serve cold. 

It's really delicious alone, or with some sautéed portabella on the side. 

Enjoy!
