I'm living in the city of angels
So I find it funny that I'm surrounded by demons
I'm waiting idly by counting the seconds til my time
But in the back of my mind

What if I don't have a moment
What if it slips and I can't hold it
What if I'm playing my keys for nobody
What if I'm not who I'm supposed to be
What if I don't have a moment
Or the moment don't have me

Trying to get far driving the fast lane
In a beat up car oh you'd miss it if you saw
I'm cruising through the jungle
Draped in the brightest lights
Who do I think I am thinking I have the right to shine
I'm looking at all the signs of these lives that are not mine
And in the back of my mind

What if I don't have a moment
What if it slips and I can't hold it
What if I'm playing my keys for nobody
What if I'm not who I'm supposed to be
What if I don't have a moment
Or the moment don't have me
Having too much rhyme without a reason can bring you to your knees
We pay the price but nothing is guaranteed

What if I don't have a moment
What if it slips and I can't hold it
What if I'm playing my keys for nobody
What if I'm not who I'm supposed to be
What if I don't have a moment
All I want is my moment
But what if the moment don't want me
