Lose Yourself

==

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

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

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

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

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

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