Lose Yourself
Vincent Vinel Lyrics

Yo, his palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
He is nervous and trembling so much that his palms are sweaty and knees are weak

There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He is so anxious that he has puked on his sweater which is now embellished with spaghetti of his mom’s signature dish

He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready to drop bombs,
Although he is anxious, he masks it well and appears calm and prepared to give a great performance

But he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
He is forgetting the lyrics he prepared for the performance due to excessive nervousness

The whole crowd goes so loud
The audience is so loud and boisterous that he can hardly hear himself think

He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He tries to start singing, but no words come out due to anxiety-induced inability to perform

He's choking how, everybody's joking now
As he continues to face difficulty in performing, people start mocking and making fun of him

The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
He has run out of time to prepare and must now face his fears and perform

You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
To avoid anxiety and self-doubt, he should immerse himself in the music and be in the moment

You own it, you better never let it go
Once he finds his groove, he should take ownership of it and not let it go

You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
He only has one opportunity to shine, therefore he should not waste it

This opportunity comes once in a lifetime
The chance he has to perform and prove himself may never come again, hence he should make the most of it

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is gaping
He expresses his desire to escape from his current state of anxiety and apprehension, as if he is moving through a hole created by his situation

This world is mine for the taking
He is resolved to take advantage of his present situation and make something of himself

Make me king, as we move toward a new world order
He is aspiring to become a leader in the music industry and shape the new future of the music industry

A normal life is boring, but superstardom's close to postmortem
He finds ordinary life tedious and therefore seeks a life of stardom as if it's the only way he can live his dream

It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
While he gets the opportunity to grow in popularity and bank balance, but on the other side it becomes more difficult too

He blows, it's all over, these hoes is all on him
He knows that in the music industry, one tiny mistake can bring an end to his career, and the people that were supportive of him will now back out and take advantage of his downfall

I suppose it's old partner, but the beat goes on
He acknowledges that all things come to an end, including his career, but that's not something that should stop him from doing what he loves

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Adlib

Woah oh oh oh oh oh
Adlib

Yeah, once in a lifetime
Despite the difficulties, he is grateful for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity he has to perform and pursue his dreams
