Lose Yourself - Eminem (full lyrics) Look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment Would you capture it, or just let it slip? Yo! His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy There\u0027s vomit on his sweater already: Mom\u0027s spaghetti He\u0027s nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud He opens his mouth, but the words won\u0027t come out He\u0027s choking, how? Everybody\u0027s joking now The clock\u0027s run out, time\u0027s up, over, blaow! Snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope There goes Rabbit, he choked, he\u0027s so mad but he won\u0027t Give up that easy, no, he won\u0027t have it, he knows His whole back\u0027s to these ropes, it don\u0027t matter, he\u0027s dope He knows that but he\u0027s broke, he\u0027s so stagnant, he knows When he goes back to this mobile home, that\u0027s when it\u0027s Back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody Better go capture this moment and hope it don\u0027t pass him, and You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better\u2026 His soul\u0027s escaping through this hole that is gaping This world is mine for the taking, make me king As we move toward a New World Order A normal life is boring; but superstardom\u0027s Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder Homie grows hotter, he blows, it\u0027s all over These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows He\u0027s known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads God only knows, he\u0027s grown farther from home, he\u0027s no father He goes home and barely knows his own daughter But hold your nose, \u0027cause here goes the cold water These hoes don\u0027t want him no mo\u0027, he\u0027s cold product They moved on to the next schmoe who flows He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it\u0027s old, partner But the beat goes on: da da dum da dum da da da da You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better\u2026 No more games, I\u0027ma change what you call rage Tear this motherfuckin\u0027 roof off like two dogs caged I was playin\u0027 in the beginning, the mood all changed I\u0027ve been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhymin\u0027 and stepped right in the next cypher Best believe somebody\u0027s payin\u0027 the Pied Piper All the pain inside amplified by the Fact that I can\u0027t get by with my 9-to-5 And I can\u0027t provide the right type of life for my family \u0027Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don\u0027t buy diapers And there\u0027s no movie, there\u0027s no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life And these times are so hard, and it\u0027s gettin\u0027 even harder Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter Caught up between bein\u0027 a father and a prima donna Baby mama drama, screamin\u0027 on her, too much for me to wanna Stay in one spot, another day of monotony\u0027s Gotten me to the point I\u0027m like a snail, I\u0027ve got To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot Success is my only motherfuckin\u0027 option, failure\u0027s not Mom, I love you, but this trailer\u0027s got To go; I cannot grow old in Salem\u0027s Lot So here I go, it\u0027s my shot: feet, fail me not This may be the only opportunity that I got You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go) You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go) You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo You better\u2026 You can do anything you set your mind to, man
