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 chokin now The clock's run out, time's 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 city's 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 rap city He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Chorus:]

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 you better,

His soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping

This world is mine for the taking Make me king,

as we move toward a, new world order

A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom

It only grows harder, only grows hotter

He blows us all over these hoes is all on him Coast to coast shows,

he's know 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 ho's 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

So the soap opera is told and unfolds

I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on

Da da dum da dum da da

[Chorus:]

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 mothafuckin roof off like 2 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 stepwritin 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 A

nd I can't provide the right type of life for my family

Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers

And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer, 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 trying to be a father and a pre-madonna

Baby mama drama's screamin on and

Too much for me to wanna

Stay in one spot, another jam or not

Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail

I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot

Success is my only======= 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 is my shot.

Feet fail me not or not this may be the only opportunity that I got

[Chorus:]

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 you better, You can do anything you set your mind to, man
