Lose Yourself by Eminem

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity

To seize everything you ever wanted, one moment

Would you capture it?

Or just 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 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, times up, over, blaoh!

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, he knows, he won't have any notes

His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope

He knows that but he's broke, he so stagnant he knows

When he goes back to his 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 pass him

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 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

His 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 post mortem

It only grows harder, homie grows hotter

He blows. It's all over, these hoes 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

These 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 it unfolds

I suppose it's all over, but the beat goes on

Da da dum, da dum da da da

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 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

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

Tear this motherfucking roof off like two 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 stepped, writing 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 fucking 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'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 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

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 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
