Lose Yourself

[00:34.59] Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity

[00:43.84] To seize everything you ever wanted

[00:46.83] One moment

[00:49.08] Would you capture it or just let it slip?

[00:52.83] Yo

[00:53.83] His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

[00:56.59] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

[00:59.33] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

[01:02.33] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'

[01:05.09] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

[01:07.83] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

[01:10.59] He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now

[01:13.33] The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow!

[01:16.09] Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity

[01:19.09] Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

[01:21.33] He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No

[01:23.84] He won't have it, he knows his whole back city's ropes

[01:27.09] It don't matter,

[01:28.11] He's dope, he knows that, but he's broke

[01:29.34] He's so stacked that he knows

[01:31.09] When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's

[01:33.09] Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody

[01:36.08] He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[01:38.84] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:41.33] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:44.08] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:46.84] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[01:49.33] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:52.83] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:55.34] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:58.34] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better

[02:01.33] The souls escaping, through this hole that it's gaping

[02:04.33] This world is mine for the taking

[02:06.34] Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order

[02:09.85] A normal life is boring, but super stardom's close to post-mortem

[02:13.58] It only grows harder, only grows hotter

[02:16.59] He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him

[02:19.33] Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter

[02:22.58] Lonely roads, God only knows

[02:23.85] He's grown farther from home, he's no father

[02:26.83] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

[02:29.58] But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water

[02:32.33] His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product

[02:34.83] They moved on to the next schmo who flows

[02:37.59] He nose dove and sold nada

[02:39.33] So the soap opera is told and unfolds

[02:41.33] I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on

[02:44.59] Da da dumb da dumb da da

[02:46.08] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:48.83] You own it, you better never let it go

[02:51.33] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[02:53.83] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:56.34] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:59.83] You own it, you better never let it go

[03:02.08] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[03:05.09] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better

[03:08.33] No more games, I'm a change what you call rage

[03:10.59] Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged

[03:14.33] I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed

[03:16.84] I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

[03:19.34] But I kept rhymin' and stepwritin' the next cipher

[03:22.34] Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper

[03:24.83] All the pain inside amplified by the fact

[03:28.08] That I can't get by with my nine to five

[03:30.58] And I can't provide the right type of life for my family

[03:35.34] 'Cause man, these God damn food stamps don't buy diapers

[03:37.84] And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life

[03:41.37] And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder

[03:44.58] Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus

[03:46.59] See dishonor caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna

[03:50.34] Baby mama drama screamin' on and Too much for me to want to Stay in one spot,

[03:53.59] another day of monotony Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail

[03:58.34] I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot

[04:01.34] Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failures not

[04:04.83] Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go

[04:07.59] I cannot grow old in Salem's lot

[04:10.33] So here I go is my shot.

[04:11.59] Feet fail me not 'cause maybe the only opportunity that I got

[04:15.08] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:18.33] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:21.11] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:23.58] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:26.08] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:29.59] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:32.09] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:34.83] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
