Lose Yourself (Live at Oscars 2020) - Eminem

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

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 ope there goes gravity ope

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 d**e

He knows that but he's broke he's so stagnant 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 capture this moment and hope it don't pass him and

You better lose yourself in the music

The moment you own it you better never let it go

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

Go

You only get one shot do not miss your chance to blow

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

You better

No more games I'ma change what you call rage

Tear this motherf**kin' roof off like two dogs caged

I was playin' in the beginning the mood all changed

I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage

But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher

Best believe somebody's payin' 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 of life for my family

'Cause man these godd**n food stamps don't buy diapers

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

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

Tryna feed and water my seed plus teeter-totter

Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna

Baby mama drama screamin' on her 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 motherf**kin' 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

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

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 lose yourself lose yourself
