Lose Yourself (Clean)

Look, you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted in 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 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!
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 that he's wrote, it don't matter
He's dope, he knows that but he's broke, he's so stacked
That he knows when he goes back to his mobile home

That's when it's back to the lab again, yo
This whole rap shit, he better go capture this moment
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
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

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 postmortem, 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 'cause here goes the cold water

The hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
They move down to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
Is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
But the beat goes on, da-da-da, da-da, da-da-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
You better

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage

Tear this motherfucker's roof off like two dogs cage

I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and blew 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, my ass
Is too stamped to buy diapers, and it is no movie
There's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder

Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus see dishonor
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama, screamin' on, too much for me
To wanna stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point I'm like a snail, I've got

To formulate a plot 'fore I 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

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 better

You can do anything you set your mind to
