Lose Yourself

[Intro]

Dm
Look
Bb/D
    If you had
Dm
  One shot
Bb/D
    Or one opportunity
Dm
  To seize everything you ever wanted
Bb/D
    In one moment
          Dm
Would you capture it
        Bb/D
Or just let it slip?
Yo

[Verse 1]
              Dm
His palms are sweaty, knees weak,
arms are heavy
        Bb/D
There's vomit on his sweater already,
mom's spaghetti
     Dm
He's nervous,
but on the surface he looks calm and ready
        Bb/D
To drop bombs,
but he keeps on forgettin'
        Dm
What he wrote down,
the whole crowd goes so loud
    Bb/D
He opens his mouth,
but the words won't come out
        Dm
He's chokin', how,
everybody's jokin' now
               Bb/D
The clocks run out, times up, over,
blaow!
     Dm
Snap back to reality,
oh there goes gravity
   Bb/D
Oh,    there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad,
            Dm
but he won't  give up that easy? No
He won't have it,
        Bb/D
he knows    his whole back city's ropes
                           Dm
It don't matter, he's dope,  he knows that,
but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows,
Bb/D
    when he goes back to his mobile home,
that's when its
Dm
Back to the lab again yo,
this whole rhapsody
   Bb/D
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

[Chorus]
           Dm
You better lose yourself in the music,
the moment
        Bb/D
You own it, you better never let it go
                Dm
You only get one  shot,
do not miss your chance to blow
          Bb/D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
Dm
Lose yourself in the music, the moment
        Bb/D
You own it, you better never let it go
                Dm
You only get one  shot,
do not miss your chance to blow
          Bb/D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better

[Verse 2]
    Dm
The souls escaping,
through this hole that its gaping
Bb/D
    This world is mine for the taking
             Dm
Make me king,  as we move toward a,
new world order
  Bb/D
A normal life is borin',
                    Dm
but super stardom's close to post mortem
                        Bb/D
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
                               Dm
He blows us all over these hoes  is all on him
Coast to coast shows,
          Bb/D
he's known    as the globetrotter
Lonely roads, God only knows,
Dm
  he's grown farther from home,
he's no father
       Bb/D
He goes    home and barely knows his own daughter
    Dm
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
        Bb/D
His hoes    don't want him no more,
he's cold product
     Dm
They moved on to the next schmo who flows,
            Bb/D
he nose dove    and sold nada
                         Dm
So the soap opera is told  and unfolds,
I suppose it's old partna,
        Bb/D
but the beat goes on
Da da dumb da dumb da da

[Chorus]
           Dm
You better lose yourself in the music,
the moment
        Bb/D
You own it, you better never let it go
                Dm
You only get one  shot,
do not miss your chance to blow
          Bb/D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
Dm
Lose yourself in the music, the moment
        Bb/D
You own it, you better never let it go
                Dm
You only get one  shot,
do not miss your chance to blow
          Bb/D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better

[Verse 3]
       Dm
No more  games,
I'm a change what you call rage
          Bb/D
Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
      Dm
I was playin' in the beginnin',
the mood all changed
       Bb/D
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
      Dm
But I kept rhymin' and stepwritin' the next cipher
Bb/D
Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper
Dm
All the pain inside amplified by the
Bb/D
Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
Dm
Five and I can't provide the right type of
Bb/D
Life for my family 'cause man,
                          Dm
these God damn food stamps  don't buy diapers
And its no movie,
        Bb/D
there's no  Mekhi Phifer
                          Dm
This is my life and these times are so hard
                                       Bb/D
And it's getting even harder tryin' to feed and water my
seed, plus
                       Dm
See dishonor caught up between bein' a father and a
prima-donna
     Bb/D
Baby mama drama screamin' on and too much

[Verse 4]
                  Dm
For me to want to say in one spot,
another jam or not
           Bb/D
Has gotten me  to the point,
I'm like a snail I've got
        Dm
To formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
   Bb/D
Success is my only motherfuckin' option,
failures not
Dm
  Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go,
Bb/D
I   cannot grow old in Salem's lot
          Dm
So here I go is my shot
                              Bb/D
Feet fail me not 'cause maybe the only opportunity that I
got

[Chorus]
           Dm
You better lose yourself in the music,
the moment
        Bb/D
You own it, you better never let it go
                Dm
You only get one  shot,
do not miss your chance to blow
          Bb/D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
Dm
Lose yourself in the music, the moment
        Bb/D
You own it, you better never let it go
                Dm
You only get one  shot,
do not miss your chance to blow
          Bb/D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime you better
