Eminem - Lose Yourself Lyrics

Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity 
To seize everything you ever wanted, 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 forgettin' 
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes 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, BLOW! 
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 that he knows 
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's 
Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody 
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't colapse on him 

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 

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 post-mortar 
It only grows harder, only grows hotter 
He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him 
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter 
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 cuz here goes the cold water 
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product 
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows 
He nose dove and sold nada 
So the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partner 
But the beat goes on da da dum da dum 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 

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'ma change what you call rage 
Tear this mothafuckin' roof off like 2 dogs caged 
I was playin' in the beginnin, the mood all changed 
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage 
But I kept rhymin', stepped writin' the next cypher 
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 of life for my family 
Cuz man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers 
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer 
This is my life, and these times are so hard 
And it's getting even harder tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus 
Teetertotter caught up between bein a father and a prima donna 
Baby mama drama screamin on and too much for me to wanna 
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony 
Has 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 mothafuckin' option, failure's not 
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go 
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot 
So here I go with 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
