You Better Lose Yourself - 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 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 chokin' now
The clock’s run out, times 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 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 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 life-time, 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 life-time, yo
His souls 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, only 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 mo', he’s cold product
They moved on to the next shmo' who flows, he nose dove, and sold nada
So the soap opera’s told and unfolds, I suppose it’s old partner
But the beat goes on da da dum da dum 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 life-time, 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 life-time, yo
No more games, I’ma change what you call rage
Tear this mother fuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginning, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and step 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 nine to five
And I can’t provide the right type’a
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
Teetertotter 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
Has 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 with my shot, feet fail me not
This maybe 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 life-time, 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 life-time, yo
You can do anything you set your mind to man.
