Lose Yourself Lyrics - X Factor (us)

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity 

To seize everything you ever wanted, one moment 

Would you capture it? 

Or 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 chokin' how, everybody's chokin' now 

The clock's run out, times up, over, blaw! 

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 so stagnant he knows 

When he goes back to his 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 

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 

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, only grows hotter 

He blows it's all over, these h**s is all on him 

Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter 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 cuz here goes the cold water 

These h**s don't want him no mo', he's cold product 

They moved on to the next schmoe who flows 

He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds 

I suppose it's old partna, but the beat goes on 

Da da dum, da dum da da da da 

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 

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 mothaf****n' roof off like two dogs caged 

I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed 

I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage 

But I kept rhymin' and stepped, writin' the next cipher 

Best believe somebody's payin' the pied piper 

All the pain inside amplified by the fact 

That I can't get by with my 9 to 5 

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family 

Cuz man, these *** damn food stamps don't buy diapers 

And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life 

And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder 

Tryin' to feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter 

Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna 

Baby mama drama's screamin' on and 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 mothaf****n' option, failure's not 

Mom, I 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, this may be 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, 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 

You better 

You can do anything you set your mind to, man
