Lose Yourself
Paroles:
[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

Grammaire:
-
If you had one shot or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
➔ Conditionnel de type 2
➔ Le **conditionnel de type 2** (Si + prétérit, would + base verbale) est utilisé pour parler de situations irréelles ou improbables au présent ou au futur. Ici, c'est hypothétique - il n' *a* pas réellement une chance pour l'instant.
-
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
➔ Question conditionnelle avec 'Would'
➔ Cette ligne utilise 'would' pour former une question sur une action hypothétique. 'Would you capture it' exprime ce qui *se* passerait dans le scénario imaginé. Le verbe "let" dans "let it slip" signifie permettre que quelque chose soit perdu ou gaspillé.
-
He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting What he wrote down
➔ Conjonctions de contraste (but), présent continu pour insister sur une action habituelle (keeps on forgetting)
➔ 'But' montre un contraste entre sa nervosité intérieure et son apparence extérieure. 'He keeps on forgetting' utilise le présent continu pour souligner la nature répétée de son oubli, ce qui le rend plus frustrant. 'Keep on + verb+ing' est une expression idiomatique qui montre la persistance.
-
Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad
➔ Impératif (Snap back), Présent Simple ('there goes' - utilisé pour l'emphase et l'immédiateté)
➔ 'Snap back to reality' est un impératif, un ordre direct. 'There goes gravity' et 'There goes Rabbit' utilisent le présent simple d'une manière inhabituelle. Généralement, 'there goes' indique quelque chose qui s'éloigne, mais ici, cela signifie la perte rapide de contrôle de la situation. L'utiliser ajoute de l'impact et de l'immédiateté à la scène.
-
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
➔ Contractions informelles ('back's', 'don't'), Conjonction de contraste ('but')
➔ Cette ligne utilise des contractions informelles comme 'back's' (back is) et 'don't' (does not) pour refléter un style conversationnel et de la rue. 'But' crée à nouveau un contraste entre son talent ('dope') et sa situation actuelle ('broke', 'stagnant').
-
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
➔ 'Better' (had better) + forme de base du verbe (lose), Mode Impératif.
➔ 'You better lose yourself' est une forte recommandation ou un avertissement. 'Had better' est souvent abrégé en 'better' dans le langage informel. Cela exprime l'urgence. Le mode impératif donne une direction.
-
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
➔ Contraction informelle ('I'ma'), proposition substantive ('what you call rage'), comparaison ('like two dogs caged')
➔ 'I'ma' est une contraction très informelle de 'I am going to'. 'What you call rage' est une proposition substantive qui fonctionne comme l'objet du verbe 'change'. 'Like two dogs caged' est une comparaison, comparant sa colère intense à celle d'animaux confinés.
-
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
➔ Ellipse ('best believe' - devrait être 'you best believe'), voix passive ('amplified by'), proposition relative ('that I can't get by...')
➔ 'Best believe' est un exemple d'ellipse, où les mots sont omis pour plus de concision et d'impact. La voix passive dans 'amplified by the fact' est utilisée pour souligner la douleur sur laquelle on agit, et non l'acteur. 'That I can't get by...' est une proposition relative qui modifie le mot 'fact'.
