Eminem - 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 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 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 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 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 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 mothafuckin 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 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 can do anything you set your mind to, man END
