I had someone send me some lyrics to a song yesterday! I didn't really see it before I got my anti-anxiety pills.I opened them up these lyrics are the lyrics of a soundtrack for a new movie coming out called 8- mile. Now I am not ususally a fan of Rap but these lines caught and held me.I had not quite heard anyone sum up my positive feelings about this surgery quite so well.In some of the lines I think figureatively because I am not a Rapper but it's all there.
I want to share them with you all today I have edited some stuff out that doesn't partain for me if you want the whole deal it's on the internet everywhere right now.I thought this was perfect as I will be going under the Knife Monday!
So Here goes...
Eminem - Lose yourself
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To seize everything you ever wanted-In One moment
Would you capture it or just let it slip?…….
…When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's Back to the lab again yo
This whole rap sh**
He 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
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo…..
…No more games, I'ma change what you call rage
Tear this mothaf**kin roof off like 2 dogs caged
I was playin in the beginnin, the mood all changed
I been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhymin and stepwritin 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 9 to 5
And I can't provide the right type of life for my family…
…And it's no movie, there's no Mekhi Phifer, this is my life
And these times are so hard and it's getting even harder
Tryin to feed and water my seed…
…Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another jam or not
Has gotten me to the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot fore I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only mothaf**kin option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trail has got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go is my shot.
Feet fail me not cuz maybe the only opportunity that I got
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo…..
You can do anything you set your mind to, man
This is my theme music.This is it. I tell you this my once in a lifetime shot!This is my opportunity to seize everythng I ever wanted in one moment I can't let it slip I gotta capture it.
I've known for a while what I wanted and needed, I tried everything to get it right.Thia whole weight thingI had to capture it and hope on itI don't own the past it is gone already and I can't change it, I can't own the fture it belongs to God.But I can choose to own the moment,To live in it and not let go of it.For years I have lived either in the past or fture and wondered why none of my dreams are comingto. This surgery has forced me to live in the moment.When come to my daily life I only got one shot,once it passes it becomes past. If I am focusing else were the oppurtunites that only come once with this moment will slip away. If you want sucess you got to live in the moment and cease every oprtunity.My new Motto is then
-You only Got one shot...You can do anything you set your mind to!
