Lose Yourself

Look

If you had

One shot

Or one opportunity

In one moment

Would you capture it

Or just let it slip?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

There's vomit on his sweater already,

He's nervous,

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 chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now

The clocks run out, times 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 knows his whole back's to these ropes

It don't matter, he's dope,

He's so stagnant, he knows,

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,

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot,

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

His soul's escaping,

This world is mine for the taking

Make me king, as we move toward a New World Order

A normal life is borin',

but super stardom's close to post mortem

It only grows harder, only grows hotter

He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him

he's known as the Globetrotter

Lonely roads, God only knows,

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',

They moved on to the next schmo who flows,

he nose dove and sold nada

So the soap opera is told and unfolds,

I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot,

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot,

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

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

Tear this motherfuckin' roof off

I was playin' in the beginnin',

I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

But I kept rhymin'

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 its no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer

This is my life and these times are so hard

And it's getting even harder tryna feed

Teeter totter, caught up between

Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much

For me to wanna stay in one spot,

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,

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

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,

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

You own it, you better never let it go

You only get one shot,

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

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