Lose Yourself Lyrics By Eminem

[Intro]

• 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

[Verse 1]

• 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 chokin', how? Everybody's jokin' now
• The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow
• Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity
• Ope, 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 old rhapsody
• Better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Chorus]

• 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

[Verse 2]

• His 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-mortem, it only grows harder
• Homie grows hotter, he blows, it's 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 'cause 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, and so the soap opera
• Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
• But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom, dah-dah-dah-dah

[Chorus]

• 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

[Verse 3]

• No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
• Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
• I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
• I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
• But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in 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
• 'Cause, 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 gettin' even harder
• Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
• Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
• Baby-mama drama, screamin' on her, 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 motherfuckin' 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
• This may be the only opportunity that I got

[Chorus]

• 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

[Outro]

You can do anything you set your mind to, man
