louden swain - lose yourself (live) lyrics

[intro]
look, if you had one shot, or one opportunity
to seize everything you ever wanted, in one moment
would you capture it, or just let it slip?

[verse 1]
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—blaow!
snap back to reality, ope there goes gravity, ope
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 this mobile home, that’s when it’s
back to the lab again yo, this whole rhapsody
you better go capture this moment and hope it don’t

[chorus]
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
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 (you better)

[verse 2]
his 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
these 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, and so the soap opera
is told, it unfolds, i suppose it’s old, partner
but the beat goes on: da-da-dom, da-dom

[verse 3]
no more games, i’ma change what you call rage
tear this motherf-ckin’ roof off like two dogs caged
i was playin’ in the beginning, the mood all changed
i’ve been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
but i kept rhymin’ and stepped right in 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 nine-to-
five and i can’t provide the right type of life for my family
’cause man, these godd-mn food stamps don’t buy diapers
and there’s no movie, there’s no mekhi phifer, this is my life
and these times are so hard, it’s gettin’ even harder
tryna feed and water my seed, plus t–ter-totter
caught up between bein’ a father and a prima donna
baby mama drama, screamin’ on her, too much for me to wanna
stay in one spot, another day of monotony’s
gotten me to the point i’m like a snail, i’ve got
to formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
success is my only motherf-ckin’ 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

[outro]
and you can do anything you put your mind to
everyone give it up for louden swain!
