LOSE YOURSELF

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 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 chokin now the clock's run out Times 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 up that easy no he won't have it he knows the whole Backs to these ropes. it don't matter he's dope he knows that but he's broke he's so sad that He knows when goes back to his mobile home that's when its back to the lab again Yo, this old rap city better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass. 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 one 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 one chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime Souls escaping through this hole that is gaping this world is mine for the taking make me king As we move toward new world order a normal life is boring but super-stardom is close To post mortem it only grows harder, homie grows hotter, he blows, its all over these hoes Is all on him coast to coast shows he's known as the globe trotter 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 more he's cold product They moved on to the next schmo who flows he knows dove and sold nada sold the soap operas Told and unfolds I suppose his own partner but the beat goes on... Dada-dum, da-dum... (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 one 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 one chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime No more games I'm gonna change what you call rage tear this mutha fuckin' 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 rhyming and stepped right in the next cypha best believe somebody's paying 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 god damn 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 its getting even harder trying to feed and water my seed plus teeter-totter Caught in between being a father and a premadonna baby-mama drama screaming on her too Much for me to wantto stay in one spot another day or not it'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 mother fuckin' Option failure's not. Mama love you but this trail has got to go I can not 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 one 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 one chance to blow this opportunity comes once in a lifetime You better! You can do anything you set your mind to, man.
