8 Mile movie - Lose Yourself lyrics
rate me<br>
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity<br>
To seize everything you ever wanted-One moment<br>
Would you capture it or just let it slip? <br>
<br>
His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy <br>
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti<br>
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready <br>
To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin <br>
What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud <br>
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out<br>
He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now<br>
The clock's run out, time's up over, blouww!<br>
Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity<br>
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked<br>
He's so mad, but he won't give up that<br>
Is he? No<br>
He won't have it , he knows his whole back city's ropes<br>
It don't matter, he's dope<br>
He knows that, but he's broke<br>
He's so stacked that he knows <br>
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's<br>
Back to the lab again yo<br>
This whole rhapsody<br>
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him<br>
<br>
[Hook:]<br>
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment <br>
You own it, you better never let it go <br>
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow <br>
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo <br>
<br>
The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping<br>
This world is mine for the taking<br>
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order <br>
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortar<br>
It only grows harder, only grows hotter <br>
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him<br>
Coast to coast shows, he's know as the globetrotter<br>
Lonely roads, God only knows<br>
He's grown farther from home, he's no father<br>
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter<br>
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water <br>
His hoes don't want him no mo, he's cold product <br>
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows<br>
He nose dove and sold nada<br>
So the soap opera is told and unfolds<br>
I suppose it's old potna, but the beat goes on<br>
Da da dum da dum da da<br>
<br>
[Hook]<br>
<br>
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage <br>
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged <br>
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed <br>
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage <br>
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin the next cypher <br>
Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper<br>
All the pain inside amplified by the fact <br>
That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 <br>
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family <br>
Cuz man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers <br>
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life <br>
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder <br>
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus <br>
See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna <br>
Baby mama drama's screamin on and <br>
Too much for me to wanna <br>
Stay in one spot, another jam or not <br>
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail <br>
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot <br>
Success is my only mothafuckin option, failure's not <br>
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go <br>
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot <br>
So here I go is my shot.<br>
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got<br>
<br>
[Hook]<br>
<br>
You can do anything you set your mind to, man<br>
<br>
