EMINEM - LOSE YOURSELF
Hello Gem, this is the Lyrics of my all time fav Eminem song.
"Lose Yourself"
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?
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 forgettin
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 jokin 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 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 shit
He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
[Hook:]
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
The 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 mortem
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 cuz here goes the cold water
His hoes 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 partna', but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da
[Hook]
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
Cuz man, these goddam 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
Tryin to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being 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 fore 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 cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got
[Hook]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

lol I don't even know Praney and i have to agree, my son listens to eminem and stuff like that and it realy irritates me.Rhutobello wrote:Well I for one put Praneys work miles ahead of that one...
I try to be open-minded about it because i hate to sound like my mother ("turn that racket off!!!") Lol but (IMO) how can anyone be open-minded to that kind of sexist, racist, derogatory @#$%* where (not so much in this particular song Vish) women are Hoes, (whores) bitches etc and...well you get the picture. I hate that my kids now talk like this and go around making gang symbols and gestures to one another (they see on music clips) i think it's sad.

Praney is one of our 16 years old members....He has made some "rap songs" that he posted way back....I found what he wrote as very good and enlighten...I have searched for those song....but haven't been able to find them....I hope when he read this...that he will post them again.
For me this song show how you try to make yourself popular on "cases" that is on the "brink" what our society allow.
Never had any "Dop" or "Brandy" or any other stimulus saved anyones life...or given them "the bright moment", that is all an illusion that vanish when you stop...if you don't stop you will die from it.
When such "known" persons use this kind of stuff in their song...many will think it is "though" that the lyric is good and so on....BUT what about all those weaker persons that have problems....that have those persons as their "Idol", They might think : hell why not use it...why not fetch that moment of glory...why not.....he is saying why not?

Eminem works so well with teenagers, I have very happy memories of this song and using it amidst a rampaging teenage class lol they quietened and turned to me and were stunned lol, the old lady spouting Eminem! One chance! Phewwwwww, it really helps to understand the mindset of teens and why oldies seem to be so out of touch with the torrid emotional upheaval of maturing and puberty coupled with exams and defending oneself in the pack and not appearing weak. And walk down a street in one of the big cities in the UK or USA and what do you find? Depends how open your eyes are......
