Lose Yourself From "8 Mile" Soundtrack

Look. If you had One shot Or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted, One moment. Would you capture it 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's to these ropes. It don't matter, he's dope. He knows that, but he's broke. He's so stagnant, he knows when he goes back To this mobile home, that's when it's back to The lab again, yo. This whole rhapsody 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, Yo. 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, Yo. 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 post-mortem. It only grows harder, homie grows hotter. He blows, it's all over. These 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 don't want him no more, He's cold product. They moved on to the next schmoe who flows. He nose-dove and sold nada. And so the soap opera is told, unfolds. I suppose it's old, partner, but the beat goes On. Da-da-dom, da-dom, da-da-dom, 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, Yo. 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, Yo. No more games, I'ma change what you call Rage. Tear this mother roof off like two dogs Caged. I was playing 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 cypher. 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 damn 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 trying to Feed and water my seed. Plus, see this harder part of between being a Father and a prima donna. Baby mama drama's screaming on her. Too much for me to wanna stay in one Spot. Another day of monotony'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 option, Failure's not. Mom, 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 'cause maybe 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, 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, Yo. You better. You can do anything you set your mind to, Man.
