Lose Yourself

[00:34.620]Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
[00:43.930]To seize everything you ever wanted…One moment
[00:49.140]Would you capture it or just let it slip?
[00:53.100]His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
[00:56.800]There's vomit on his sweater already, mom’s spaghetti
[00:59.620]He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
[01:03.100]To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin
[01:05.170]What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
[01:07.910]He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
[01:10.670]He's chokin, how everybody's jokin now
[01:13.420]The clock's run out, time's up over, BLOAH!
[01:16.800]Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
[01:19.300]Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
[01:21.250]He's so mad, but he won't give up that easy,
[01:23.550]No, he won't have it , he knows his whole back's to these ropes
[01:27.230]It don't matter, he's ****
[01:28.680]He knows that, but he's broke
[01:30.030]He's so stacked that he knows
[01:31.350]When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
[01:33.720]Back to the lab again yo
[01:35.510]This whole rap ****
[01:36.720]He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[01:38.780]You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
[01:41.700]You own it, you better never let it go
[01:44.520]You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
[01:47.300]This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

[02:04.420]This world is mine for the taking

[02:09.740]A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortem
[02:13.870]It only grows harder,homie grows hotter
[02:16.550]He blows us all over, these hoes is all on him
[02:19.450]Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
[02:22.220]Lonely roads got him, he knows he's grown farther from home,
[02:24.000]he's no father
[02:26.410]He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
[02:29.090]But hold ya nose cuz here goes the cold water
[02:32.100]The hoes don't want him no more, he's cold prada
[02:36.240]They moved on to the next shmo who flows
[02:39.300]Who nose dove and sold nada
[02:40.360]And so the so proper, His toll, it unfolds
[02:42.850]and I suppose it's old, partner, but the beat goes on

[03:23.290]Best believe somebody's payin the pied piper

[03:29.250]Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
