Lose Yourself Lyrics » Eminem
[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?
Yo
[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 chokin’, how? Everybody’s jokin’ 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 old rhapsody
Better go capture this moment and hope it don’t pass him
[Chorus]
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better lose yourself in the music
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (Go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo
You better

About Eminem’s Lose Yourself from The Singles (2004)
“Lose Yourself” is the theme song from Eminem’s semi-biographical 2002 movie
8 Mile
. Eminem is narrating the life of the film’s protagonist, Jimmy, up until the third verse, where Jimmy and Eminem’s journey converge.
Engineer Steven King told
Rolling Stone
in 2003
that Eminem “laid down all three verses in one take”, which Eminem has since
shed doubt on
.
Eminem stated in his 2008 autobiography,
The Way I Am
, that he wrote “in-between shooting scenes [for
8 Mile
] and taking care of [his] kids” (pg 108-109.) Scans of the scrawled lyrics on A4 writing pad pages were also featured in the autobiography (pg 217-218.)
In 2014, the
demo version
appeared on Shady Records’
SHADY XV
compilation album, which featured the same beat and tone but almost entirely different lyrics.
Commercially, “Lose Yourself” was hugely successful and reached #1 in 20 countries, including the US. It marked Eminem’s first US #1, and held the top position for 12 weeks, becoming the third-longest chart-topper from a movie soundtrack (behind
“I Will Always Love You”
and
“End Of The Road”
). As of 2022, it is
13x Multi-Platinum
in the US.
The song was lauded critically, too. It won
two Grammys
(Best Male Rap Solo Performance & Best Rap Song) and became the first rap song to win the Oscar for
Best Original Song
. Eminem didn’t attend the ceremony as he
didn’t think
he’d win, meaning he didn’t perform it, which is atypical for winners of the category. This was
remedied
when he performed the song at the
2020 Oscars
.
The song has also had a huge cultural impact. Apple used the song for
two commercials
in the mid-‘00s to promote iTunes and the iPod, with Eminem featuring in the latter video. Chrysler used the instrumental and Eminem for their 2011
“Born of Fire”
Super Bowl commercial. In 2021, Eminem opened up a restaurant in Detroit called “Mom’s Spaghetti”, which is a lyric that’s been meme’d extensively (even being given its
own fan-made song.
)
