Lose Yourself

[00:31.80] Look

[00:35.79] If you had

[00:37.54] One shot

[00:40.29] Or one opportunity

[00:43.05] To seize everything you ever wanted

[00:45.29] In one moment

[00:47.32] Would you capture it

[00:50.06] Or just let it slip?

[00:51.81] Yo

[00:52.78] His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

[00:55.53] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

[00:58.29] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

[01:01.30] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'

[01:04.03] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

[01:06.78] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

[01:09.79] He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now

[01:12.56] The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow!

[01:15.52] Snap back to reality, oh there goes gravity

[01:18.34] Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked

[01:20.28] He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No

[01:23.03] He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes

[01:25.75] It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that, but he's broke

[01:28.80] He's so stagnant, he knows, when he goes back to this mobile home, that's when its

[01:32.50] Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody

[01:35.28] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[01:37.77] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:40.54] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:43.03] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:46.01] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[01:48.49] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:51.52] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:54.02] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:57.26] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[01:59.74] You better

[02:00.77] His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping

[02:03.27] This world is mine for the taking

[02:05.27] Make me king, as we move toward a New World Order

[02:08.50] A normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortar

[02:12.75] It only grows harder, only grows hotter

[02:15.52] He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him

[02:18.26] Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter

[02:21.53] Lonely roads, God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father

[02:25.52] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

[02:28.26] But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water

[02:31.25] These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product

[02:34.29] They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada

[02:38.23] So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on

[02:43.54] Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-da

[02:44.51] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:47.06] You own it, you better never let it go

[02:50.26] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[02:53.27] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:56.01] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:58.99] You own it, you better never let it go

[03:01.51] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[03:04.51] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[03:06.73] You better

[03:07.78] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

[03:10.25] Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged

[03:12.97] I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed

[03:16.02] I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

[03:18.75] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher

[03:21.74] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper

[03:24.50] All the pain inside amplified by the

[03:27.25] Fact that I can't get by with my nine to

[03:29.99] Five and I can't provide the right type of

[03:32.98] Life for my family 'cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers

[03:37.27] And its no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer

[03:39.99] This is my life and these times are so hard

[03:42.76] And it's getting even harder tryna feed and water my seed, plus

[03:45.98] Teeter-totter, caught up between bein' a father and a prima-donna

[03:49.50] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much

[03:52.26] For me to wanna stay in one spot, another day of monotony's

[03:55.76] Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got

[03:57.48] To formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot

[04:00.47] Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not

[04:04.01] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go, I cannot grow old in Salem's lot

[04:08.98] So here I go, is my shot

[04:10.48] Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

[04:14.21] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:17.47] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:19.74] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:23.03] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:25.50] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[04:28.48] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:31.22] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:33.96] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:36.48] You better

[04:38.01] You can do anything you set your mind to, man
