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 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 that he knows When he goes
back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again yo This 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
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 boring, 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 cause 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
[Hook]
No more games, I'ma change what
you call rage Tear this motherfucking roof off like 2 dogs caged I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed I
been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage But I kept rhyming and stepwritin 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 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 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 fore 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 is my shot. Feet fail me not
cause maybe the only opportunity that I got
[Hook]
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Copertina del singolo 'Lose Yourself' (2002) |
NOTE: Tratto dall'album "8 Mile",
dei Eminem (2002). Un estratto del brano è stato utilizzato dalla band come intro registrata, subito prima dell'ingresso
sul palco. Brian May ha dichiarato che la scelta è caduta su questo pezzo per via del testo, che parlerebbe di rivalsa (qui
in riferimento al ritorno della band sulle scene).
