Lose Yourself
Mike Vincent Lyrics

Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
He's feeling extremely nervous and anxious.

There’s vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's so anxious that he just threw up on his own clothes.

He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready to drop bombs
He's trying to hide his nervousness and put on a confident front for his performance.

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down
He's having trouble remembering the lyrics he wrote for his performance.

The whole crowd goes so loud
The audience is getting loud and rowdy, making it harder for him to focus.

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's so nervous that he's having trouble speaking or singing.

He's choking now, everybody’s joking now
He's choking on his performance and people are starting to make fun of him.

The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
He's run out of time for his performance and it's over.

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
To succeed, you need to completely immerse yourself in the experience.

You own it, you better never let it go
Once you've achieved success, don't let it slip away.

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
You only have one opportunity to succeed, so make sure you take it.

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
This chance to succeed is rare and may not come again.

The soul’s escaping, through this hole that is gaping
He's expressing his desire to succeed and escape his current reality.

This world is mine for the taking
He believes he can achieve anything he sets his mind to.

Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
He wants to be in charge and change the world around him.

A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to postmortem
He's not satisfied with an ordinary life and wants to become a superstar.

It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
The more successful he becomes, the more difficult it is to stay on top.

He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him
Once he loses his success, people will no longer be attracted to him.

I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
He acknowledges that success is temporary and eventually fades away, but life still goes on.

Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Musical bridge.

Yeah, once in a lifetime
Reiteration of the idea that this chance for success is rare and may not come again.
