jon connor - lose yourself lyrics

[intro: eminem (sampled)]
“well i definitely think that people have seen me…push boundaries, and maybe, you know, some people get inspired to do the same thing, but i got that from other people, know what i mean? like, hip-hop has always been about seeing, and feeding off of, you know, getting inspired off of other emcees in the game, and you know, everybody gets inspired from everybody, and hopefully people could look at – i guess my career, and see how i came up or whatever and know the story, and know everything and maybe they can be inspired from it. every few years there’d be certain rappers that’ll come along and do that and some tend to do it better than others, push in front of others, someone who stood up for what they believed in, as far as freedom of speech, and you know, don’t back down”

[verse 1: jon connor]
i earn my respect, i wasn’t born with a connect
i didn’t have somebody leave me an inheritance check
i didn’t have a rich uncle out here droppin’ my name
i didn’t have an easy way for me to get in the game
i had to create the hype through the sh-t that i write
‘cuz i wouldn’t follow the trends so i could blow over night
it ain’t about ya talent it’s about how long will you fight
for what you believe in, like it’s a fight for your life
i worked jobs that i hated, restaurants cleaning tables
boss is an -ssh0l-, co-workers is racist
swallow pride ’til i was hollow inside, i had to take it
all the while in the back of my mind i knew i would make it
beat down and degraded, f-cked up and frustrated
yeah sometimes it’ll hurt you learning the virtue of patience
for all the time i was waitin’, writin’ rhymes in my bas-m-nt
the gratification of not quitting, it feels so amazing

[hook x2: jon connor]
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

[verse 2: jon connor]
would you play through the pain, injured in the championship game
‘cuz all you can think about now is how far you done came
didn’t stop for the snow, went hard in the rain
weekdays and weekends was exactly the same
look, they say when money come, that’s when most people change
they say losing yourself is the price of the fame
but they got it wrong, the glitz ain’t the cause of the change
consistent evolution with every sacrifice that was made
constantly on the stage, hardly ever got paid
every time you gave your all and hardly ever got praised
but you just go your hardest like you hardly ever get phased
studio, no sleep, same clothes for days
that’s when you ask yourself how bad do you want it
when the man in the mirror is your only opponent
when you got the final say on if you blow, or blow it
when everything that you worked for come down to one moment
