Lose Yourself

[00:31.70] Look

[00:33.96] If you had

[00:35.72] One shot

[00:38.45] Or one opportunity

[00:40.70] To seize everything

[00:43.22] you ever wanted

[00:44.20] In one moment

[00:45.96] Would you capture it

[00:46.96] Or just let it slip? Yo

[00:49.20] His palms are sweaty,

[00:51.95] knees weak, arms are heavy

[00:53.70] There's vomit on his

[00:55.20] sweater already, mom's spaghetti

[00:56.94] He's nervous, but on the

[00:58.45] surface he looks calm and ready

[00:59.98] To drop bombs,

[01:01.45] but he keeps on forgettin'

[01:02.95] What he wrote down,

[01:04.46] the whole crowd goes so loud

[01:05.95] He opens his mouth,

[01:07.45] but the words won't come out

[01:09.21] He's chokin', how,

[01:10.20] everybody's jokin' now

[01:11.45] The clocks run out, times up,

[01:12.95] over, blaow!

[01:14.21] Snap back to reality,

[01:15.70] oh there goes gravity

[01:16.94] Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

[01:18.70] He's so mad, but he won't

[01:20.45] give up that easy? No

[01:21.95] He won't have it,

[01:23.48] he knows his whole back

[01:24.72] city's ropes

[01:25.96] It don't matter, he's dope,

[01:26.95] he knows that, but he's broke

[01:27.95] He's so stacked that he knows,

[01:29.21] when he goes back to

[01:30.24] his mobile home,

[01:31.44] that's when its

[01:32.45] Back to the lab again yo,

[01:33.20] this whole rhapsody

[01:34.44] He better go capture

[01:35.45] this moment and hope

[01:36.70] it don't pass him

[01:37.96] You better lose yourself

[01:38.96] in the music, the moment

[01:39.96] You own it, you better

[01:40.95] never let it go

[01:41.95] You only get one shot,

[01:43.20] do not miss your chance to blow

[01:44.45] This opportunity comes once

[01:46.20] in a lifetime you better

[01:47.46] You better lose yourself

[01:48.46] in the music, the moment

[01:49.20] You own it, you better

[01:51.46] never let it go

[01:52.94] You only get one shot,

[01:53.95] do not miss your chance to blow

[01:55.74] This opportunity comes once

[01:57.20] in a lifetime you better

[01:58.72] The souls escaping, through

[02:00.48] this hole that its gaping

[02:01.70] This world is mine for the taking

[02:02.97] Make me king, as we move toward a,

[02:05.22] new world order

[02:07.43] A normal life is borin',

[02:08.95] but super stardom's

[02:10.73] close to post mortar

[02:11.94] It only grows harder,

[02:12.95] only grows hotter

[02:14.22] He blows us all over these

[02:15.21] hoes is all on him

[02:16.45] Coast to coast shows,

[02:17.45] he's known as the globetrotter

[02:18.68] Lonely roads, God only knows,

[02:19.95] he's grown farther from home,

[02:21.70] he's no father

[02:24.72] He goes home and barely

[02:25.96] knows his own daughter

[02:27.44] But hold your nose

[02:28.70] 'cause here goes the cold water

[02:30.23] His hoes don't want him no mo,

[02:31.70] he's cold product

[02:32.95] They moved on to the

[02:34.70] next schmo who flows,

[02:35.70] he nose dove and sold nada

[02:36.69] So the soap opera is told and unfolds,

[02:38.69] I suppose it's old partna,

[02:40.46] but the beat goes on

[02:42.45] Da da dumb da dumb da da

[02:44.70] You better lose yourself

[02:45.70] in the music, the moment

[02:46.70] You own it, you better never

[02:47.71] let it go

[02:49.20] You only get one shot,

[02:50.74] do not miss your chance to blow

[02:52.19] This opportunity comes once

[02:53.48] in a lifetime you better

[02:54.70] You better lose yourself

[02:56.46] in the music, the moment

[02:57.70] You own it, you better never

[02:58.70] let it go

[02:59.70] You only get one shot,

[03:01.22] do not miss your chance to blow

[03:02.43] This opportunity comes once

[03:03.95] in a lifetime you better

[03:05.43] No more games, I'm a change

[03:07.71] what you call rage

[03:08.95] Tear this motherfuckin'

[03:09.95] roof off like two dogs caged

[03:11.21] I was playin' in the beginnin',

[03:12.72] the mood all changed

[03:14.20] I been chewed up and spit

[03:15.70] out and booed off stage

[03:16.95] But I kept rhymin'

[03:18.20] and stepwritin' the next cipher

[03:19.73] Best believe somebody's payin'

[03:21.44] the pied piper

[03:23.21] All the pain inside

[03:24.44] amplified by the

[03:25.70] Fact that I can't get by

[03:26.95] with my nine to

[03:28.21] Five and I can't provide

[03:30.20] the right type of

[03:31.69] Life for my family

[03:32.69] 'cause man, these

[03:33.95] God damn food stamps

[03:34.70] don't buy diapers

[03:36.46] And its no movie,

[03:37.45] there's no Mekhi Phifer

[03:38.72] This is my life and these

[03:40.20] times are so hard

[03:41.21] And it's getting even

[03:42.45] harder tryin' to feed

[03:43.71] and water my seed, plus

[03:44.99] See dishonor caught up

[03:45.95] between bein' a father

[03:47.47] and a prima-donna

[03:48.46] Baby mama drama screamin'

[03:49.99] on and too much

[03:51.44] For me to want to say

[03:52.45] in one spot, another jam or not

[03:53.45] Has gotten me to the point,

[03:54.95] I'm like a snail I've got

[03:56.43] To formulate a plot fore

[03:57.44] I end up in jail or shot

[03:58.98] Success is my only motherfuckin' option,

[04:00.70] failures not

[04:02.70] Mom, I love you,

[04:03.95] but this trail has got to go,

[04:05.20] I cannot grow old in Salem's lot

[04:06.69] So here I go is my shot

[04:08.20] Feet fail me not

[04:09.95] 'cause maybe the only

[04:11.96] opportunity that I got

[04:13.45] You better lose yourself

[04:14.72] in the music, the moment

[04:15.96] You own it, you better never

[04:16.95] let it go

[04:18.46] You only get one shot,

[04:19.70] do not miss your chance to blow

[04:20.95] This opportunity comes

[04:22.48] once in a lifetime you better

[04:23.96] You better lose yourself

[04:25.20] in the music, the moment

[04:26.47] You own it, you better

[04:27.46] never let it go

[04:28.96] You only get one shot,

[04:30.45] do not miss your chance to blow

[04:32.49] This opportunity comes

[04:33.72] once in a lifetime you better

[04:35.45] You can do anything you

[04:40.22] set your mind to, man
