Lyrical Analysis of...
Lose Yourself by Eminem
- //Intro//
- 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
- //Verse 1//
- 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 choking, how? Everybody's joking now
- The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
- Snap back to reality, op! There goes gravity
- Op! 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's so sad 'cause he knows
- When he goes back to this mobile home, that's when it's
- Back to the lab again, yo, this whole rhapsody
- Better go catch this moment and hope it don't pass him
- //Chorus//
- 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
- //Verse 2//
- His soul is 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, homie grows hotter, he blows, it's all over
- These lows is all on him, coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
- Only grows, 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, 'cause here it goes to cold water
- These fans don't want him no more, he's cold product
- They moved on to the next shmoe who flows
- He knows, dove and sold nada, he sold his soul proper
- He was told it unfolds, I suppose it's ol' partner
- But the beat goes on, da da dum, da dum dada
- //Chorus//
- 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
- //Verse 3//
- No more games, Imma chance what you call rage
- Tear this (this, this) roof off, like two dogs caged
- I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
- I've been chewed up and spit out and boo'd off stage
- But I kept rhyming, and stepped right into the next cypher
- Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
- All the pain inside amplified by the
- Fact that I can't get by with my nine to
- Five and I can't provide the right type o'
- Life for my family, 'cause man, these foodstamps don't buy diapers
- And there's no movie, there's no Mikhi Phifer
- This is my life
- And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
- Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter totter
- Caught up between being a father and a pre Madonna
- Baby mama drama screaming on it, too much for me to wanna
- Stale in spot, another damn or not, he's gotten me to a point I'm a snail, I've got
- To formulate a plot, or end up in jail or shot, success is my only option, failure's not
- Man I love you, but this trailer's got to go, I can not 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
- //Chorus//
- 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
- //Outro//
- You can do anything you set your mind to, man
