Lose YourselfAdapted from “Lose Yourself” by Eminem, Luis Resto, Jeffrey BassFrom the film, ‘8 Mile”

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?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavyand there are burns on his sweater already.He is nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to win,but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down.The whole crowd goes so loud,he opens his mouth, but the words will not come out.He is choking but everybody's joking now!The clock is running, time is up, it is over!Snap back to reality, and there goes gravity!He is so mad, but he will not give up that easy, no.He will not have it, he knows his whole back is tied to these ropes.It does not matter, he knows that but he is broken.He is stagnant, he knowswhen he goes back to home, that is when it is back to the lab again.This whole rhapsody, he better capture this moment and hope it does not pass him.

You better lose yourself in the music, the momentYou own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to roarThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

The soul is escaping, through this hole that is gaping.This world is mine for the taking, as we move toward a new world order.A normal life is boring, but it only grows harder.Lonely roads, God only knows.He has grown farther from home, he is no father.He goes home and barely knows his own daughter.So the soap opera is told and unfolds.I suppose it is old but the beat goes onDa da dum da dum da da

No more games, I am the change to your rage.Tear these walls, wood, bolt and nail.I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changedI been chewed up and spit out and booed off stagebut I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher. All the pain inside amplified by the factThat I cannot provide the right type of life for my family.

This is my life and these times are so hard, and it is getting even hardertrying to feed and water my dreams.Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a pre-madonnaBaby mama drama's screaming on andToo much for me to want to stay in one spot.Another day of monotony has gotten me to the point,to formulate a plot or I end up lost.Success is my only option, so here I go, it is my only rave.Feet fail me not, this maybe the only opportunity that I have.

You better lose yourself in the music, the momentYou own it, you better never let it goYou only get one shot, do not miss your chance to roarThis opportunity comes once in a lifetime.

You can do anything you set your mind on.
