LOSE YOURSELF

[00:03.17] Look

[00:06.43] If you had

[00:08.44] One shot

[00:10.45] Or one opportunity

[00:12.94] To seize everything you ever wanted

[00:15.69] In one moment

[00:18.19] Would you capture it

[00:20.44] Or just let it slip?

[00:21.69] Yo

[00:22.69] His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy

[00:25.19] There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti

[00:28.19] He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready

[00:31.43] To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'

[00:34.19] What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud

[00:36.69] He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out

[00:39.43] He's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' now

[00:42.20] The clocks run out, times up, over, blaow

[00:44.96] Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity

[00:47.70] Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked

[00:49.70] He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? No

[00:52.42] He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes

[00:55.19] It don't matter, he's dope, he knows that, but he's broke

[00:58.19] He's so stagnant, he knows, when he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's

[01:00.44] Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody

[01:04.92] Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[01:07.93] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:11.19] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:12.69] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:15.69] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[01:18.94] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[01:20.92] You own it, you better never let it go

[01:24.19] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[01:26.93] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[01:28.68] You better

[01:30.18] His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping

[01:33.44] This world is mine for the taking

[01:35.19] Make me king, as we move toward a New World Order

[01:38.43] A normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortem

[01:40.68] It only grows harder, only grows hotter

[01:45.96] He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him

[01:47.94] Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter

[01:50.67] Lonely roads, God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no father

[01:54.96] He goes home and barely knows his own daughter

[01:57.93] But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water

[02:00.69] These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product

[02:03.44] They moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nada

[02:07.68] So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on

[02:13.20] Da-da-dum, da-dum, da-da

[02:14.43] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:17.44] You own it, you better never let it go

[02:19.93] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[02:22.96] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:25.44] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[02:29.42] You own it, you better never let it go

[02:31.20] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[02:34.19] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[02:36.68] You better

[02:37.42] No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

[02:39.69] Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged

[02:42.44] I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed

[02:45.44] I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

[02:48.19] But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher

[02:51.18] Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper

[02:54.19] All the pain inside amplified by the

[02:56.68] Fact that I can't get by with my nine to

[02:59.70] Five and I can't provide the right type of

[03:02.20] Life for my family 'cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers

[03:06.42] And its no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer

[03:09.18] This is my life and these times are so hard

[03:12.19] And it's getting even harder tryna feed and water my seed, plus

[03:15.42] Teeter totter, caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna

[03:19.18] Baby mama drama, screamin' on her, too much

[03:21.19] For me to wanna stay in one spot, another day of monotony's

[03:25.45] Gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail I've got

[03:27.20] To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot

[03:29.93] Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not

[03:33.45] Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go, I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot

[03:38.43] So here I go, is my shot

[03:40.19] Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got

[03:43.94] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[03:46.93] You own it, you better never let it go

[03:49.69] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[03:52.70] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[03:55.18] You better lose yourself in the music, the moment

[03:59.21] You own it, you better never let it go

[04:00.70] You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow

[04:04.69] This opportunity comes once in a lifetime

[04:06.19] You better

[04:09.44] You can do anything you set your mind to, man
