Lose Yourself

Tom:

[Intro]
[Riff]
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? Yo
      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 forgetting
          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 choking, how? Everybody's joking now
             Bb/D
The clock's run out, times up, over, blaoh!
       Dm
Snap back to reality, oh, there goes gravity
Bb/D                                                    Dm
Oh, there goes Rabbit. He choked, he's so mad but he won't
                                             Bb/D
Give up that easy, no, he won't have it he knows
                                                    Dm
His whole back's to these ropes, it don't matter he's dope
                                                    Bb/D
He knows that but he's broke, he's so stagnant he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Dm
Back to the lab again, yo
                       Bb/D
This whole rhapsody better go capture this moment
And hope it don't pass him

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

             Dm
You better lose yourself in the music
                    Bb/D                            C/D
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
              Dm
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
           Bb/D                         C/D
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
      Dm
His soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
              Bb/D
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
      Dm
As we move toward a new world order, a normal life is boring
              Bb/D
But superstardom's close to post mortem
      Dm
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
              Bb/D
He blows. It's all over, these hoes is all on him
      Dm
Coast to coast shows, he's known as the Globetrotter lonely roads
              Bb/D
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
      Dm
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
              Bb/D
But hold your nose cuz here goes the cold water
      Dm
These hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
              Bb/D
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
      Dm
He nose dove and sold nada, so the soap opera is told it unfolds
              Bb/D
I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
      Dm
Da da dum, da dum da da da

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