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? |
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 choking, how? |
Everybody's joking now |
The clock's run out, time's up, over—blaow! |
Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope |
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, he knows |
When he goes back to this 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, and |
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… |
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 |
His hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product |
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows |
He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera |
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner |
But the beat goes on: da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah, dah-dah |
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… |
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage |
Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged |
I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed |
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage |
But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in 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 nine-to- |
Five and I can't provide the right type of life for my family |
'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers |
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life |
And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder |
Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter |
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna |
Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, 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 motherfuckin' 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… |
You can do anything you set your mind to, man |
