Lose Yourself
Champs United Lyrics

Look, if you had, one shot, or one opportunity
Imagine if you had one chance, one moment, to grab everything you want.

To seize everything you ever wanted. In one moment
Would you take advantage of the opportunity or let it go?

Would you capture it, or just let it slip?
The choice is yours: will you take the opportunity or let it pass?

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
He's incredibly nervous, and his physical reactions show it.

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
His anxiety has caused him to vomit on his clothing.

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
Despite his nerves, he's doing his best to look confident and ready.

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
His nerves are causing him to forget his prepared lines.

The whole crowd goes so loud
The audience is very loud and energized.

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
Despite his efforts, he can't seem to speak.

He's choking how, everybody's joking now
Everyone is making light of the situation despite his distress.

The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
He has run out of time to perform.

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
He has been brought back to the present moment, despite his wish to be somewhere else.

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He has failed in his performance.

He's so mad, but he won't give up that Easy, no
Despite his failure, he knows he can't give up that easily.

He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
He is committed to making it, despite feeling defeated.

It don't matter, he's dope
Despite his flaws, he has talent and potential.

He knows that but he's broke
He recognizes his own skills, but his financial state is lacking.

He's so stagnant, he knows
He's not making progress in his current situation.

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again, yo
He's not giving up, and plans to keep working on his craft.

This whole rhapsody
This experience is a masterpiece of its own.

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
He needs to seize opportunities and hope they don't slip through his fingers.

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
To seize the opportunity, you need to completely immerse yourself in the present moment.

You own it, you better never let it go (go)
This is your moment, and you can't afford to let it slip by.

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
The opportunity may only come around once, so don't waste it.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)
This is an incredibly rare chance you need to take advantage of.

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
It feels like something important is slipping away.

This world is mine for the taking
He feels like he's in control of his own destiny.

Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
He has big aspirations to be the leader of the pack.

A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
Living a life of normalcy is too dull for him; he wants to be a superstar.

It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
Despite his struggles, he's becoming better over time.

He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him
He has succeeded and now has a lot of attention from women.

Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
He's performing all around the world and is gaining a lot of recognition.

Lonely roads, God only knows
Despite his success, he's feeling quite alone.

He's grown farther from home, he's no father
He's lost touch with his family and friends; isn't a father figure either.

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
He has weak connections with the most important people in his life.

But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
Without warning, he's brought back to reality which is tough to swallow.

His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
Now that he hasn't been active in the scene, he doesn't have as much appeal.

They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
People have found another trendy artist to follow.

He nose dove and sold nada
His career has taken a nosedive, and he isn't making money anymore.

So the soap opera is told and unfolds
His story is now being told as a dramatic, fallen-star tale.

I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes on
This might be a typical story, but it's still happening to him.

No more games, I'm a change what you call rage
He's done with messing around; he's all in.

Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
He's going to be explosive and intense.

I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
He started off lightly, but things have suddenly turned serious.

I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
He's been knocked down and criticized, but he's not out.

But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher
Despite the difficulties, he's kept going and put himself back in the game.

Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
People are listening and following him again.

All the pain inside amplified by the
He's channeling the pain he's felt throughout his life into his music.

Fact that I can't get by with my 9 to 5
His regular job isn't cutting it financially.

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
He's struggling to support his family in the way he wants to.

Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
He's stuck in a difficult financial situation that is directly impacting his ability to provide for his child.

And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
This isn't a fictional story; it's his real life.

And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Things are already tough, but they're getting worse.

Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
He's working hard to take care of his child, in addition to providing for himself.

Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a primadonna
He's having trouble balancing his desire for success and his responsibilities as a parent.

Baby mama drama's screaming on her
His child's mother is causing conflict by being aggressive and dramatic.

Too much for me to wanna
It's overwhelming and he can barely handle it.

Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's gotten me
His routine is becoming boring and he's craving change.

To the point, I'm like a snail
He feels like he's not making any progress in his life.

I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
He needs to come up with a plan to turn his life around or else he could end up in a dangerous situation.

Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
He has to succeed in order to provide the life he wants for himself and his family.

Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
He wants to get out of the trailer he's living in and create a better life for himself.

I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
He doesn't want to live in the same place for the rest of his life.

So here I go it's my shot.
He's ready to make the most of his opportunity.

Feet, fail me not
He's counting on his strength and ability to keep pushing forward.

This may be the only opportunity that I got
He knows he may not get another opportunity, so he needs to make this one count.
