Lose Yourself (Radio Version)

In the style of

Eminem

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's vomit on
his sweater already
mom's spaghetti
he's 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
grows so loud
he opens his mouth
but the words
won't come out

he's chokin' how
everybody's jokin' now
the clock's run out
time's up
over
blough

snap back to reality
oh there goes gravity
oh there goes rabbit
he choked he's so mad
but he won't
give up that easy no
he won't have it
he knows

his whole back's
to these ropes
it don't matter
he's dope

he knows that
but he's broke
he's so stagnant
he knows
when he goes back to
this mobile home
that's when it's

back to the lab again
yo
this ol' rhapsody
better go
capture this moment
and hope it
don't pass him

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
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

the soul's 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's
close to postmortem
it only grows harder

homie grows hotter
he blows it's all over
these ho's is all on him
coast-to-coast shows
he's known as
the globe-trotter

lonely roads
god only knows
he's grown
farther from home
he's no father
he goes home
and barely knows
his own daughter

but hold your nose
'cause here goes
the cold water
these ho's
don't want him no mo'
he's cold product

they moved on
to the next schmo
who flows
he nose-dove
and sold nada

so the soap opera
is told
it unfolds
i suppose
it's old partner
but the beat goes on
da da dum da dum
da da da da

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
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

no more games
i'm-a change
what you call rage
tear this m###########'
roof off
like two dogs caged

i was playin'
in the beginning
the mood all changed
i been chewed up
and spit out
and booed off stage

but i kept rhymin'
and stepped writin'
the next cipher
best believe
somebody's payin'
the pied piper

all the pain inside
amplified by the
fact that i can't get by
with my nine-to-five
and i can't provide
the right type-a

life for my family
'cause man these
g##damn food stamps
don't buy diapers
and it's no movie
there's no mekhi pfifer

this is my life and
these times are
so hard
and it's gettin'
even harder
tryin' to feed and
water my seed plus

teeter-totter
caught up between
bein' a father and a
prima donna baby mama
drama's screamin' on
and too much
for me to
wanna stay in one spot

another day of
monotony's gotten me
to the point
i'm like a snail
i've got to formulate
a plot or
end up in jail or shot

success is my only
motherf#####' option
failure is not
mom i love you
but this trailer's
got to go
i cannot grow old
in salem's lot

so here i go
it's 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

you only get one shot
do not miss
your chance to blow
this opportunity
comes once
in a lifetime
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

you can do anything
you set your mind to
man
