Lose Yourself - From "8 Mile" Soundtrack (Explicit)

Lose Yourself (Explicit) - Eminem
Look  if you had one shot  or one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip
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 goes so loud
He opens his mouth  but the words won't come out
He's choking how  everybody's joking now
The clock's run out  time's up over  blaow
Snaps back to reality  ope  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 d**e
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 this whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment
And hope it don't pass 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  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
The soul's escaping
Through this hole that it's 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 mortem it only grows harder
Only grows hotter
He blows us all over  these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows
He's know 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 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more  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  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
No more games  I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherf**king roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning
The mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and
Step right in the next cipher
Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
All the pain inside amplified by the fact
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right
Type of life for my family
Cause man  these goddam food stamps
Don't buy diapers
And it's no movie  there's no Mekhi Phifer
This is my life
And these times are so hard
And it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed  plus
Teeter totter caught up between
Being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming 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 I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherf**king 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 it's my shot
Feet fail me not cause maybe
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  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 can do anything you set your mind to  man
