Lose Yourself
Letra:
[English]
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
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
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-
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-
You better-
His soul's escaping through this hole that is gaping
This world is mine for the taking, make me king
As we move toward a new world order
A normal life is boring, but superstardom's
Close to post-mortem, it only grows harder
Homie grows hotter, he blows, it's all over
These hoes is all on him, coast-to-coast shows
He's known as the Globetrotter, lonely roads
God only knows he's grown farther from home, he's no father
He goes home and barely knows his own daughter
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
These hoes don't want him no mo', he's cold product
They moved on to the next schmoe who flows
He nose-dove and sold nada, and so the soap opera
Is told, it unfolds, I suppose it's old, partner
But the beat goes on, da-da-dom, da-dom-
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-
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-
You better-
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
I was playin' in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin' and stepped right in the next cypher
Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper
All the pain inside amplified by the
Fact that I can't get by with my nine-to-
Five and I can't provide the right type of life for my family
'Cause, man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And there's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's gettin' even harder
Tryna feed and water my seed, plus teeter-totter
Caught up between bein' a father and a prima donna
Baby-mama drama, screamin' on her, too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's gotten me
To the point I'm like a snail, I've got
To formulate a plot or end up in jail or shot
Success is my only motherfuckin' option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's Lot
So here I go, it's my shot
Feet, fail me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got
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-
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-
You better-
You can do anything you set your mind to, man

Gramática:
-
If you had one shot or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
➔ Segundo Condicional
➔ El **segundo condicional** (If + pasado simple, would + forma base) se usa para hablar de situaciones irreales o improbables en el presente o futuro. Aquí, es hipotético: él realmente no *tiene* una oportunidad todavía.
-
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
➔ Pregunta Condicional con 'Would'
➔ Esta línea usa 'would' para formar una pregunta sobre una acción hipotética. 'Would you capture it' expresa lo que *pasaría* en el escenario imaginario. El verbo "let" en "let it slip" significa permitir que algo se pierda o se desperdicie.
-
He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting What he wrote down
➔ Conjunciones contrastantes (but), Presente Continuo para enfatizar una acción habitual (keeps on forgetting)
➔ 'But' muestra un contraste entre su nerviosismo interno y su apariencia externa. 'He keeps on forgetting' usa el presente continuo para enfatizar la naturaleza repetida de su olvido, haciéndolo más frustrante. 'Keep on + verb+ing' es una expresión idiomática que muestra persistencia.
-
Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad
➔ Imperativo (Snap back), Presente Simple ('there goes' - usado para énfasis e inmediatez)
➔ 'Snap back to reality' es un imperativo, una orden directa. 'There goes gravity' y 'There goes Rabbit' usan el presente simple de una manera inusual. Por lo general, 'there goes' indica algo que se aleja, pero aquí, significa la rápida pérdida de control de la situación. Usarlo añade impacto e inmediatez a la escena.
-
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
➔ Contracciones informales ('back's', 'don't'), Conjunción contrastante ('but')
➔ Esta línea usa contracciones informales como 'back's' (back is) y 'don't' (does not) para reflejar un estilo conversacional y callejero. 'But' nuevamente crea un contraste entre su talento ('dope') y su situación actual ('broke', 'stagnant').
-
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
➔ 'Better' (had better) + forma base del verbo (lose), Modo Imperativo.
➔ 'You better lose yourself' es una fuerte recomendación o advertencia. 'Had better' a menudo se acorta a 'better' en el habla informal. Expresa urgencia. El modo imperativo proporciona dirección.
-
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
➔ Contracción informal ('I'ma'), cláusula sustantiva ('what you call rage'), símil ('like two dogs caged')
➔ 'I'ma' es una contracción muy informal de 'I am going to'. 'What you call rage' es una cláusula sustantiva que funciona como objeto del verbo 'change'. 'Like two dogs caged' es un símil, que compara su intensa ira con la de los animales confinados.
-
Best believe somebody's payin' the Pied Piper All the pain inside amplified by the Fact that I can't get by with my nine-to-Five and I can't provide the right type of life for my family
➔ Elipsis ('best believe' - debería ser 'you best believe'), voz pasiva ('amplified by'), cláusula relativa ('that I can't get by...')
➔ 'Best believe' es un ejemplo de elipsis, donde las palabras se omiten por brevedad e impacto. La voz pasiva en 'amplified by the fact' se usa para enfatizar el dolor que se está actuando, no el actor. 'That I can't get by...' es una cláusula relativa que modifica la palabra 'fact'.
