Lyrics

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 choking how, everybody's joking 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's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope, 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 back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him

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 (You better)

The soul's 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 hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known 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
His hoes don't want him no more, 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

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 (You better)

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfucking 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 booed 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 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screaming 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 motherfucking 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
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 (You better)

You can do anything you set your mind to, man...

Notes & Trivia

  • "Lose Yourself" is a song by the American rap artist Eminem, released as the first single from the soundtrack to his movie 8 Mile.
  • Eminem says that Lose Yourself was written on set and even during breaks during the filming of 8 Mile. Taryn Manning (actor of Eminem's ex-girlfriend "Janeane" in the movie) said in an interview with MTV, that during the filming of the movie, at any downtime given, Eminem was writing lyrics to the song and that "you could just see him formulating stuff in his head."
  • Released on October 28th, 2002, it was written and produced by Eminem himself, along with Jeff Bass, one half of the production duo Bass Brothers. The song was largely written during the filming of 8 Mile, as it is loosely written from the viewpoint of the character of Jimmy "B-Rabbit" Smith, Jr. -- portrayed by Eminem himself.
  • The song was critically acclaimed, earning Eminem five Grammy nominations at the 2004 46th Grammy Awards and the Academy Award for "Best Original Song" in 2002, making it the first ever rap song to have received this much praise.
  • In 2004, it was one of only three hip-hop songs from the 21st century to have been included on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time," and was also the highest ranking at number 166.

Relevance on Niconico

Later on, a series was made called the "Eminem Will Tell You What's Up Series" based on the rap battle scene from 8 Mile, which all started with a video called "Eminem Disrespectin' All The Utaites," which is the rap battle scene, but subtitled to make it look like Eminem is better than famous Utaites on Niconico, like 96neko, Soraru, Itou Kashitarou, Reol, and more.

Fortunately, the video hasn't been taken down for slandering these notable names, but has been taken to account as just a joke and fun times. Maybe in response to all the tweets and such about how people think their voices are better than the Utaite's voices.

Luckily, the Eminem Will Tell You What's Up Series, Lose Yourself, and Eminem respectively has still been going relevant as on February 16th, 2013, a video called "Eminem Will Tell You What's Up 'Bout Super Street Fighter IV," was uploaded and has garnered over 86,700 views. It was also the main representative for Lose Yourself being selected in the main set list for Asaoka Hieton's 2525/2013.

  • In the case of Niconico medleys, ever since Asaoka Hieton put Lose Yourself in the set list of 2525/2013, the song has been coming up in recent medleys, and has been (as of now) one of the many songs to come into the forefront for International-centric sources on Niconico.

Other songs that share the situation with Lose Yourself are:


-- I Will Always Love You by Whitney Houston

-- My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion (most iconically known as the theme from the movie "Titanic")

-- All I Want by The Offspring (most iconically known from the arcade game "Crazy Taxi")

-- Everybody (Backstreet's Back) by The Backstreet Boys

-- Everywhere You Look by Jesse Frederick (most iconically known as the opening theme from the TV show "Full House")

-- Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye

-- 4'33" by John Cage
