EMINEM
LOSE YOURSELF
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 forgetting
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's chokin, how?
Everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out: Time's up!
Over, plow!
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 stacked 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
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 (oh)
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 (oh)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)
The 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 borin, the 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, 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 onto 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
Dada-dum, da-dum, da-da-da-dum
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
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 (oh)
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 muthafuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepped, writin the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin 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 goddamn 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
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter-totter caught up between bein a father and a prima donna
Baby-Mama drama's screamin 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 muthafuckin' 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 (oh)
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 (oh)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
