Lose Yourself
LookIf you hadOne shotOr one opportunityTo seize everything you ever wantedIn one momentWould you capture itOr just let it slip?
YoHis palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavyThere's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghettiHe's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and readyTo drop bombs, but he keeps on forgettin'What he wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loudHe opens his mouth, but the words won't come outHe's chokin', how, everybody's jokin' nowThe clocks run out, times up, over, blaowSnap back to reality, ope there goes gravityOpe, there goes Rabbit, he chokedHe's so mad, but he won't give up that easy? NoHe won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropesIt don't matter, he's dope, he knows that, but he's brokeHe's so stagnant, he knows, when he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it'sBack to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsodyBetter go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gapingThis world is mine for the takingMake me king, as we move toward a New World OrderA normal life is borin', but super stardom's close to post mortemIt only grows harder, only grows hotterHe blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on himCoast to coast shows, he's known as the GlobetrotterLonely roads, God only knows, he's grown farther from home, he's no fatherHe goes home and barely knows his own daughterBut hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold waterThese hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold productThey moved on to the next schmo who flows, he nose dove and sold nadaSo the soap opera is told and unfolds, I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes onDa-da-dum, da-dum, da-da
