Lose yourself

[00:00.00] 00:34.55]Look, if you had one shot or one opportunity

[00:43.81] To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment

[00:48.56] Would you capture it, or just let it slip? Yo

[00:53.32] His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

[00:55.81] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

[00:58.82] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

[01:01.78] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting

[01:04.32] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

[01:07.06] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

[01:10.06] He's choking, how? Everybody's joking now

[01:12.79] The clock's run out, time's up, over—blaow!

[01:15.53] Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope

[01:18.54] There goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad but he won't

[01:21.80] Give up that easy, no, he won't have it, he knows

[01:24.31] His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter, he's dope

[01:27.06] He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant, he knows

[01:30.05] When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's

[01:32.83] Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody

[01:36.31] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him, and

[01:40.06] {Chorus}

[01:40.56] You better lose yourself in the music

[01:41.31] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)

[01:43.07] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:46.31] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

[01:50.54] You better lose yourself in the music

[01:52.04] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)

[01:54.81] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:57.56] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

[02:00.31] You better…

[02:02.05] His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping

[02:03.79] This world is mine for the taking, make me king

[02:06.55] As we move toward a New World Order

[02:08.78] A normal life is boring; but superstardom's

[02:11.79] Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder

[02:14.29] Homie grows hotter, he blows, it's all over

[02:17.30] These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows

[02:20.30] He's known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads

[02:23.04] God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father

[02:25.55] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

[02:28.30] But hold your nose, 'cause here goes the cold water

[02:31.28] These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product

[02:34.29] They moved on to the next schmoe who flows

[02:38.79] He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera

[02:43.27] Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner

[02:44.28] But the beat goes on: da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah, dah-dah

[02:46.53] You better lose yourself in the music

[02:48.03] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)

[02:50.76] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[02:53.80] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

[02:56.52] You better lose yourself in the music

[02:58.54] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)

[03:00.30] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[03:04.77] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

[03:07.53] You better…

[03:08.56] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

[03:10.28] Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged

[03:13.54] I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed

[03:16.30] I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

[03:18.79] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher

[03:21.54] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper

[03:24.30] All the pain inside amplified by the

[03:27.52] Fact that I can't get by with my nine-to-

[03:29.76] Five and I can't provide the right type of life for my family

[03:33.52] 'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers

[03:36.80] And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life

[03:41.30] And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder

[03:44.04] Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter

[03:46.81] Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna

[03:49.55] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much for me to wanna

[03:52.55] Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's

[03:54.79] Gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got

[03:58.28] To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot

[04:00.55] Success is my only motherfuckin' option—failure's not

[04:03.82] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got

[04:06.02] To go; I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot

[04:08.75] So here I go, it's my shot: feet, fail me not

[04:12.04] This may be the only opportunity that I got

[04:15.05] You better lose yourself in the music

[04:16.54] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)

[04:18.77] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:22.80] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

[04:26.03] You better lose yourself in the music

[04:28.54] The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go!)

[04:30.55] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:34.78] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo

[04:37.27] You better…

[04:40.53] You can do anything you set your mind to, man
