🎶 Lose Yourself

Verse
His [Eb]palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit [B#]on his sweater already, [A#]mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, [Eb]but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop [B#]bombs, but he keeps on [A#]forgetting
What he [Eb]wrote down, the whole crowd goes so loud
He [B#]opens his mouth, but the words [A#]won't come out
He's [Eb]choking, how? Everybody's joking now
The clock's [B#]run out, times up, [A#]over, blaoh!
Snap [Eb]back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
[B#]Oh, there goes Rabbit. He [A#]choked, he's so mad but he [Eb]won't
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he [B#]knows
His whole back's to these [A#]ropes, it don't matter he's [Eb]dope
He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant he [B#]knows
When he goes back to his mobile [A#]home, that's when it's
[Eb]Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody [B#]better go capture this moment
And [A#]hope it don't pass him

Chorus
You better [Eb]lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#]it, you better never let it [A#]go
You only get [Eb]one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [B#]opportunity comes once in a [A#]lifetime, yo
You better [Eb]lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#]it, you better never let it [A#]go
You only get [Eb]one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This [B#]opportunity comes once in a [A#]lifetime

Verse
His [Eb]soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
This [B#]world is mine for the [A#]taking, make me king
[Eb]As we move toward a new world order, a normal [B#]life is boring
But [A#]superstardom's [Eb]close to post mortem
It only grows harder, [B#]homie grows hotter
[A#]He blows. It's all over, these [Eb]hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's [B#]known as the Globetrotter [A#]lonely roads
God only knows [Eb]he's grown farther from home, he's no father
He [B#]goes home and barely [A#]knows his own daughter
But [Eb]hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
These [B#]hoes don't want him no [A#]more, he's cold product
They [Eb]moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose dove and sold [B#]nada, so the soap [A#]opera is [Eb]told it unfolds
I suppose it's old partner, but the [B#]beat goes on
[Eb]Da da dum, da dum da da da

Chorus
You better [Eb]lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#]it, you better never let it [A#]go
You only get [Eb]one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#]comes once in a lifetime, [A#]yo
You better [Eb]lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#]it, you better never let it [A#]go
You only get [Eb]one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#]comes once in a lifetime, [A#]yo

Verse
[Eb]No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this [B#]motherfucking roof off like [A#]two dogs caged
I was [Eb]playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been [B#]chewed up and spit out and [A#]booed off stage
But I [Eb]kept rhyming and stepped, writing the next cypher
[B#]Best believe somebody's [A#]paying the pied piper
[Eb]All the pain inside amplified by the [B#]fact
That I can't get [A#]by with my 9 to [Eb]5
And I can't provide the right type of [B#]life for my family
Cause [A#]man, these goddamn food [Eb]stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's [B#]no Mekhi Phifer, [A#]this is my life
And these [Eb]times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Trying to [B#]feed and water my seed, plus [A#]teeter-totter
Caught up [Eb]between being a father and a prima donna
Baby [B#]mama drama's screaming on and [A#]too much for me to wanna
[Eb]Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's
Gotten [B#]me to the point I'm like a [A#]snail
I've got to [Eb]formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success [B#]is my only motherfucking [A#]option, failure's not
[Eb]Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I [B#]cannot grow old in [A#]'Salem's lot, so here I [Eb]go it's my shot
Feet fail me not, [B#]this may be the only opportunity [A#]that I got

Chorus
You better [Eb]lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#]it, you better never let it [A#]go
You only get [Eb]one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#]comes once in a lifetime, [A#]yo
You better [Eb]lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own [B#]it, you better never let it [A#]go
You only get [Eb]one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity [B#]comes once in a lifetime, [A#]yo
You [Eb]better⠀⠀
