Lose Yourself
歌词:
[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
...

语法:
-
If you had one shot or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment
➔ 第二条件句
➔ **第二条件句** (If + 过去式, would + 动词原形) 用于谈论现在或将来不真实或不太可能的情况。 在这里，这是假设性的 - 他实际上还没有*拥有*一次机会。
-
Would you capture it or just let it slip?
➔ 使用'Would'的条件问题
➔ 这行使用 'would' 来形成关于假设行为的问题。 'Would you capture it' 表达了在想象的场景中*会*发生什么。 "let it slip" 中的动词 "let" 意味着允许某事物丢失或浪费。
-
He's nervous, but on the surface, he looks calm and ready To drop bombs, but he keeps on forgetting What he wrote down
➔ 对比连接词 (but), 现在进行时强调习惯性动作 (keeps on forgetting)
➔ 'But' 显示了他的内在紧张和外在表现之间的对比。 'He keeps on forgetting' 使用现在进行时来强调他反复忘记的性质，这使它更加令人沮丧。 'Keep on + verb+ing' 是一个表示坚持的习语。
-
Snap back to reality, ope, there goes gravity Ope, there goes Rabbit, he choked, he's so mad
➔ 祈使语气 (Snap back), 一般现在时 ('there goes' - 用于强调和即时性)
➔ 'Snap back to reality' 是一种祈使语气，一种直接命令。 'There goes gravity' 和 'There goes Rabbit' 以一种不同寻常的方式使用一般现在时。 通常，'there goes' 表示某物正在远离，但在这里，它表示情况迅速失控。 使用它会增加场景的影响和即时性。
-
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
➔ 非正式缩写 ('back's', 'don't')、对比连接词 ('but')
➔ 这行使用非正式缩写，如 'back's' (back is) 和 'don't' (does not) 来反映对话式的街头风格。 'But' 再次在他的才华 ('dope') 和他目前的状况 ('broke', 'stagnant') 之间形成了对比。
-
You better lose yourself in the music The moment, you own it, you better never let it go (go)
➔ 'Better' (had better) + 动词原形 (lose)，祈使语气。
➔ 'You better lose yourself' 是一个强烈的建议或警告。 'Had better' 在非正式场合通常缩写为 'better'。 它表达了紧迫感。 祈使语气提供了方向。
-
No more games, I'ma change what you call rage Tear this motherfuckin' roof off like two dogs caged
➔ 非正式缩写 ('I'ma'), 名词性从句 ('what you call rage'), 明喻 ('like two dogs caged')
➔ 'I'ma' 是 'I am going to' 的非常非正式的缩写。 'What you call rage' 是一个名词性从句，充当动词 'change' 的宾语。 'Like two dogs caged' 是一种明喻，将他强烈的愤怒与被囚禁的动物的愤怒进行比较。
-
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
➔ 省略 ('best believe' - 应该是 'you best believe')、被动语态 ('amplified by')、关系从句 ('that I can't get by...')
➔ 'Best believe' 是省略号的一个例子，其中省略了单词以使其简洁且具有影响力。 'amplified by the fact' 中的被动语态用于强调正在作用的痛苦，而不是行动者。 'That I can't get by...' 是一个修饰单词 'fact' 的关系从句。
