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
