Lose Yourself
Kellylee Evans Lyrics

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
He is afraid and anxious.

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's so afraid that he is throwing up.

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
Although he is scared, he's trying to be tough.

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
He's so scared that he's forgotten his own lyrics.

The whole crowd goes so loud
The audience is really excited.

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's so scared that he can't speak.

He's choking how, everybody's joking now
Everyone is laughing at him for being scared.

The clock's run out, time's up, over, bloah!
The time limit for his performance is over.

Snap back to reality, Oh there goes gravity
He's come back to the real world where he's not famous.

Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
Everyone is disappointed that he messed up his performance.

He's so mad, but he won't give up that
He's angry but he's determined to keep trying.

Easy, no
It won't be easy.

He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
He's backed into a corner and has no other option.

It don't matter, he's dope
He knows he's talented.

He knows that but he's broke
He's aware of his financial struggles.

He's so stagnant, he knows
He's stuck in the same situation.

When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
He's only successful when he's performing.

Back to the lab again, yo
He needs to keep working on his music.

This whole rhapsody
His whole life and story.

He better go capture this moment and hope it don't pass him
He needs to take advantage of any opportunity that comes his way.

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
Get lost in the moment of the performance.

You own it, you better never let it go
He needs to own his success.

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
He needs to take advantage of any opportunity that comes his way.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo
This success may only come once.

(You better)
He must succeed.

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
He's expressing his innermost feelings.

This world is mine for the taking
He's going to take control of his life.

Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
He's aiming for greatness and control over his destiny.

A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to post mortem
He's willing to risk everything for the chance at fame.

It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
It gets harder to succeed as people want him to fail.

He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him
Now that he's famous, everyone wants to be around him.

Coast to coast shows, he's known as the globetrotter
He's famous all around the world.

Lonely roads, God only knows
Despite the fame, he feels alone.

He's grown farther from home, he's no father
Despite his success, he's not a good father.

He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
He's not around for his daughter because of his music career.

But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
He's about to face a harsh reality check.

His hoes don't want him no more, he's cold product
People are only interested in him as long as he's successful.

They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
People are constantly on the search for the next big thing.

He nose dove and sold nada
His career took a major fall and he earned nothing.

So the soap opera is told and unfolds
His life story is a dramatic and ongoing narrative.

I suppose it's old partner but the beat goes on
His struggles may be common, but he won't give up.

Da da dum da dum da da
The music continues.

No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
He's going to channel his anger into his music.

Tear this motherfucking roof off like two dogs caged
He's going to give an explosive performance.

I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
He started his music career as a hobby but now it's serious.

I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
He's faced rejection and failure in his career.

But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher
He kept going and found another chance to perform.

Best believe somebody's paying the pied piper
He's going to make it big and people will pay to see him perform.

All the pain inside amplified by the fact
He's expressing his emotional pain through his music.

That I can't get by with my 9 to 5
He can't make a living from a regular job.

And I can't provide the right type of life for my family
He can't take care of his family with his current job.

Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
He's struggling financially to support his family.

And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
His struggles are not a movie or a performance, it's his actual life.

And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
His life is becoming more difficult.

Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
He's trying to provide for his child.

Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
He's balancing his music career with his responsibilities as a father.

Baby mama drama's screaming on and
His child's mother is nagging him.

Too much for me to wanna
He's overwhelmed and wants to escape the situation.

Stay in one spot, another day of monotony
His life is become repetitive and boring.

Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
He feels stuck and sluggish like a snail.

I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
If he doesn't do something soon, he's going to end up in a bad situation.

Success is my only motherfucking option, failure's not
He's going to succeed, no matter what.

Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
He loves his mom but he needs to leave his current living situation.

I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
He can't stay in this area and be successful.

So here I go it's my shot.
He's going to make a big move and take a chance.

Feet, fail me not, this may be the only opportunity that I got.
He can't fail and must take advantage of the chance he's been given.
