01 Lose Yourself
[00:33.35] Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity
[00:42.61] To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
[00:47.36] Would you capture it, or just let it slip? Yo
[00:52.12] His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
[00:54.61] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
[00:57.62] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
[01:00.58] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting
[01:03.12] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
[01:05.86] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
[01:08.86] He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now
[01:11.59] The clock's run out, time's up, over—blaow!
[01:14.33] Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
[01:17.34] There goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad but he won't
[01:20.60] Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows
[01:23.11] His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope
[01:25.86] He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows
[01:28.85] When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
[01:31.63] Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
[01:35.11] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him, and
[01:39.36] You better lose yourself in the music
[01:40.11] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)
[01:41.87] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[01:45.11] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[01:49.34] You better lose yourself in the music
[01:50.84] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)
[01:53.61] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[01:56.36] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[01:59.11] You better…
[02:00.85] His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping
[02:02.59] This world is mine for the taking, make me king
[02:05.35] As we move toward a New World Order
[02:07.58] A normal life is boring; but superstardom's
[02:10.59] Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
[02:13.09] Homie grows hotter, he blows, it's all over
[02:16.10] These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows
[02:19.10] He's known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
[02:21.84] God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father
[02:24.35] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
[02:27.10] But hold your nose, 'cause here goes the cold water
[02:30.08] These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
[02:33.09] They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
[02:37.59] He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
[02:42.07] Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
[02:43.08] But the beat goes on: da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah, dah-dah
[02:45.33] You better lose yourself in the music
[02:46.83] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)
[02:49.56] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[02:52.60] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[02:55.32] You better lose yourself in the music
[02:57.34] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)
[02:59.10] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[03:03.57] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[03:06.33] You better…
[03:07.36] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
[03:09.08] Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
[03:12.34] I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
[03:15.10] I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
[03:17.59] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher
[03:20.34] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper
[03:23.10] All the pain inside amplified by the
[03:26.32] Fact that I can't get by with my nine-to-
[03:28.56] Five and I can't provide the right type of life for my family
[03:32.32] 'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
[03:35.60] And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
[03:40.10] And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder
[03:42.84] Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
[03:45.61] Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
[03:48.35] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much for me to wanna
[03:51.35] Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
[03:53.59] Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got
[03:57.08] To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
[03:59.35] Success is my only motherfuckin' option—failure's not
[04:02.62] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got
[04:04.82] To go; I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
[04:07.55] So here I go, it's my shot: feet, fail me not
[04:10.84] This may be the only opportunity that I got
[04:13.85] You better lose yourself in the music
[04:15.34] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)
[04:17.57] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[04:21.60] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[04:24.83] You better lose yourself in the music
[04:27.34] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)
[04:29.35] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[04:33.58] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
[04:36.07] You better…
[04:39.33] You can do anything you set your mind to, man
