Lose Yourself
8 Mile

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

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 forgettin'

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 chokin' now

The clocks runs out, time's up, over. Blow!

Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad

But he won't give it 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 that he knows

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's

Back to the lab again, yo, 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

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

The 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 'cuz 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 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

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

No more games, I'm a change what you call rage

Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like 2 dogs caged

I was playin' in the beginnin', the mood all changed

I 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 'cuz, 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 getting even harder

Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter

Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna

Baby mama drama screamin' 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 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, man
