Lose Yourself lyrics

Artist  : Eminem 
Song : Lose Yourself
 
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted…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, mom’s
spaghetti
He’s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm
and ready
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 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
Is he? 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 shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it
don’t pass him

Hook:

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

The 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 mortar
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 cuz here goes the cold water
His bosses 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 potna, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

Hook

No more games, i’ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf**kin 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
And I can’t provide the right type of life for
my family
Cuz man, these goddam 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
See dishonor caught up 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 jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, I’m like a snail
I’ve got to formulate a plot fore I end up in
jail or shot
Success is my only mothaf**kin option,
failure’s not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in salem’s lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity
that I got

Hook

You can do anything you set your mind to, man
