OST: 8 Mile

Song Lyrics

Lose Yourself Song Lyrics


[intro]
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted
One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
Yoo

[Verse]
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 now, everybody's jokin now
The clock's run out, time's up over, blouww!
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
Is he? 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 rhapsody
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
You better

[Verse]
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 mortar
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 partner, but the beat goes on
Da da dum da dum da da

[Chorus]
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

[Hook]
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf**kin 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
See dishonor caught up bein a father and a prima donna
Baby mama drama's screamin on and
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another jam or not
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 mothaf**kin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has 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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

"Lose Yourself" is a different song from that artist's most of the oeuvre but also differs in the history of hip-hop. Eminem co-produced the song with Jeff Bass and Luis Resto, and it saw the light in 2002 on the soundtrack of the movie "8 Mile." The track imitates the intensity and high-stake battle rap scenes in the movie, which at the same time also show Eminem's parallel real-life experiences. Notably, "Lose Yourself" became Eminem's first No. 1 single in the United States and the first hip-hop song to garble the Academy Award for Best Original Song. The striking guitar line and other rock tendencies of the song give the song an element of motivation and urgency, making this song one of the favorite inspirational tracks of athletes and with many other audiences around the globe.

The true meaning of "Lose Yourself" is an anthem to both determination and seizing the moment. The story unveiled in the lyrics of the song is actually formed as a contained narrative within the lyrics that paints a vivid picture of a character at a breaking point, looking up to the moment in life when he stands a chance to change his destiny, only on condition he would have the guts to grab it. The first iconic opening lines set the stage for a journey of high stakes and intense emotional depth. The lyrics of "Lose Yourself," the persona of B-Rabbit, Eminem in "8 Mile," are all about inner turmoil and performance intensity, or the fear of not making good on the only chance to leave a mark. It speaks to experiences commonly shared when pivotal moments in life arrive and our choices define our future. Not to mention the aggressive themes of the song, the narration of Eminem himself in the song, and the universal fight for success against all odds that has long been appreciated for capturing the spirit of the character and the universal fight for achievement.

The song is built around a mid-tempo number with a piano, drums, violins, and one of the most memorable guitar licks. In essence, these serve as building blocks of the critical success and an existing monument to his pervasive influence within hip-hop culture and beyond. The message from Eminem of not wasting an opportunity in the lifetime and that motivational drive that the song imparts has turned it into a classic for everyone.

"Lose Yourself" transcends being a song; it is almost a form of lyrical motivation. It's a reminder of all the missed opportunities and just having to get up and act. Eminem really feels strongly here, and with these powerful images in his lyrics, he empowers "Lose Yourself" into a kind of empowerment anthem. He addresses, in short, any moment of someone's truth: not to be held back by one's fears and doubts of realizing one's potential. Through "Lose Yourself," Eminem delivers an eternal message of hope and tenacity that waits to survive and resonate with the people of the world.
