LOSE YOURSELF
8 MILE
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, time's up over, bloah!
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 city's ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that, but he's broke
He's so stacked that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap city
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Chorus:]
You better **** ******** 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 **** ******** 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 you better,
His soul's escaping, through this hole that it's gaping
This world is mine for the taking
Make me king, as we move toward a, new world order
A normal life is borin, but superstardom's close to post mortom
It only grows harder, only grows hotter
He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's know 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 cause here goes the cold water
These ho'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 and unfolds
I suppose it’s old partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Chorus]
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothafuckin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin 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 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddam food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Makai Pfeiffer, 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 trying to be 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
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothafuckin 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 is my shot.
Feet fail me not or not this may be the only opportunity that I got
[Chorus]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Oh my love
It's a long way we've come
From the freckled hills
To the steel and glass canyons
From the stony fields
To hanging steel from skies
From digging in our pockets
For a reason not to say goodbye
These are *** **** **** ***** *******
Ah ah ah...*******
Last saw your face
In a watercolored sky
As sea birds argue A long goodbye
I took your kiss
On the spray of a new lined star
You gotta live in your dreams
Don't make them so hard
And these are *** ***** **** ***** *******
Ah ah ah...*******
Of all of the promises
Is this one we can keep
Of all of the dreams
Is this one still out of reach?
Its early fall
There's a cloud in the New York skyline
Innocence...dragged across a yellow line
These are *** ***** **** ***** *******
These are *** ***** **** ***** *******
Ah ah ah...*******
Ah ah ah...*******
* **** **
*******
While truckin’ down the road of life, although all hope seems gone,
* just **** **.
When I can’t find a single star to hang my wish upon, * just **** **,
* **** **.
I run so fast, a shotgun blast can hurt me not one bit.
I’m on my toes cause heaven knows a moving target’s hard to hit.
So as we play an ice ballet, we’re not the dying swan, we just **** **,
we **** **.
Just when it seems we’re out of dreams, and things have got us down.
We don’t despair, we don’t go there, we hang our bonnets out of town.
So there’s no doubt we’re well cut out to run life’s marathon, we just **** **,
we just **** **.
So fleet of foot, we can’t stay put, we just **** **.
Yes, we **** **!

Analyze this

I'm gonna break the cycle
I'm gonna shake up the system
I'm gonna destroy my ego
I'm gonna close my body now
Uh, uh
I think I'll find another way
There's so much more to know
I guess I'll *** ******* ***
It's not my time to go
For every sin, I'll have to pay
I've come to work, I've come to play
I think I'll find another way
It's not my time to go
I'm gonna avoid the cliche
I'm gonna suspend my senses
I'm gonna delay my pleasure
I'm gonna close my body now

**** this house
**** ** ****
Heart running on empty
So lost without you
But the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she's free to fly
Woman so weary
Spread your broken wings
Fly free as the swallow sings
Come to the firework
See the dark lady smiles
She burns
And the night sky blooms with fire
And the burning bed floats higher
And she's free to fly
**** this night
Black and blue
So cold in the morning
So cold without you
And the night sky blooms with fire (Y la noche que se encendia)
And the burning bed floats higher (Y la cama que lleva)
And she's free to fly (A volar)
And all of the dark days
Painted in dark grey hues
They fade with the dream of you
Wrapped in red velvet
Dancing the night away
I ****
Midnight ****
Spread those wings
Fly free with the swallows
Fly
One with the wind
Y él es flama que se lleva
Y es un pájaro a volar
Y es un pájaro a volar
En la noche que se encendió <br>(...)
Luces del cielo
And the night sky blooms with fire (Y eres flama que se lleva)
And the burning bed floats higher (Y eres un pajaro a volar)
And she's free to fly (Y eres un pajaro a volar)
Just a swallow in the sky (Y eres la noche que se encendia)
...
much brighter (bla bla bla y la oscuridad)
**** this house

Heart running on empty
So lost without you

There's no where else on earth I'd rather be

And tonight we make our dreams come true
It's a new world - it's a new start
It's alive with the beating of - young hearts
It's a new day - it 's a new plan
I've been waiting for you

Here we are - we've just begun
And after all this time - our time has come
Ya here we are - still goin'strong
Right here in the place where we belong
Chorus

And suddenly the world is all brand new
Here I am - where I'm gonna stay
Now there's nothin standin in our way

If you ever awake
In the mirror of a bad dream
And for a fraction of a second,
You can't remember where you are
Just open your window
And follow your memories
Upstream
To the meadow in the mountain
Where we counted every falling star
I believe the light that shines on you
Will shine on you forever
(forever)
And though I can't guaruntee there's nothing scary
Hidin' under your bed
I'm gonna
Stand guard
Like the postcard
Of the golden retriever
And never leave
'Til I leave you
With a sweet dream in your head
[CHORUS]
I'm gonna watch you shine
Gonna watch you grow
Gonna paint a sign
So you always know
As long as one and one is two
Ooh ooh
There could never be a ******
Love his ******** more than I love you
Trust your intuition
It's just like going fishin'
You cast your line and
Hope you get a bite
But you don't need to waste your time
Worryin' about the marketplace
Trying to help the human race
Struggling to survive
It's as harsh as night
[CHORUS x2]
