Lose Yourself Lyrics

   This is what it means:
   'The soul's escaping, through this hole that it's 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 super stardom's close to post mortem '
   Because of all the pressure and expectations lofted on me, I'm losing who I am and what I initially loved about being an artist. My status as a superstar seems contrived to me because my handlers have rearranged in my head my perception of the real world. I thought life was boring, but being a superstar is almost like being dead.
   'It only grows harder, only grows hotter
   He blows us all over these hoes is all on him
   Coast to coast shows, he's know 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 '
   The problem with being a superstar is that you need to keep producing and keep producing bigger and better things... That usually means working harder and sacrificing more. Eventually that takes its toll in the form of loneliness and alienation.
   'But hold your nose cause here goes the cold water
   His 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
   So the soap opera is told and unfolds
   I suppose it's old partner', but the beat goes on
   Da da dum da dum da da '
   This is the game: find the newest, hottest artist and exploit him until he stops producing. The fame of a rapstar is owned by the game, not by the artist, and will go where the game tells them to go. As soon as the current hot artist falters, a new one is already waiting in the wings, and the spotlight shifts... leaving only public examination and humiliation at the hands of the media. The irony is that this process is obvious and well known, but it still keeps happening because it is the nature of the beast.
   The real question is why did E write this verse into the middle of the song and not into the end. It's like he's trying to tell himself coming up something about what he's striving for...
   It has nothing to do with the right-wing NWO crap, so just stop.

   The song is about having one shot and being able to take it.
   it also refers to the film 8 mile(hense it being the theme song for the film)
   it is about him having only one shot to show his true potential.
   in the film he failed his first opportunity and knew the 2nd time he got he had to take it- his one opportunity to do everything he ever wanted.

   On the hook he doesn't say it to the fans. He quotes the ones who used to say it. They said 'Take the chance' he took it and he regreted it. 'This opportunity comes once in a lifetime' when someone asked him if he wanted to work as a rapper, being famous and all. The song fucking talk about him, how he feels... Only him can say how he feels bad. Listen the lyrics. Listen it really and not just the chorus.

    Who are these people talking about this song and the illuminati ?
    I'm having trouble imagining these people even knowing who Eminem is let alone analysing his lyrics.
    I think that if you asked them to interpret Mary Has a Little Lamb they would find Masonic/illuminati symbolisim there too.
    These lyrics are what they are, mean what they mean - there's no hidden agenda, coded messages or anything else.
    Get over it, seriously.

    new world order is Masonry in which alot of mason are in the illuminati. This world is mine for the taking, the illuminati is all about controlling the world and total domination

    It's exactly what it is, just like what you guys have said.
    You'd better lose yourself in the music, the moment ;
    If you’re going to do anything in life, put your all into it. The greatest of opportunities aren’t exactly commonplace, so make sure that you do everything you can to make the most of any that come your way. You may never get a second chance.
    It's Eminem's greatest song in my opinion @

“Lose Yourself” is a song by American superstar rapper Eminem. The song contains lyrics that are about the life of the character Jimmy “B-Rabbit” Smith Jr. from the 2002 film “8 Mile” starring Eminem (who played the role of B-Rabbit). It also stars Kim Basinger, Mekhi Phifer and the late Brittany Murphy, among other popular actors and actresses. The movie, which is heavily based on numerous events in Eminem’s real life, follows the challenges of B-Rabbit, who is an aspiring white rapper. B-Rabbit struggles against all odds to make it as a rapper and gain the respect of his fellow rappers – just like Eminem did in real life.

All in all, “Lose Yourself” is truly an inspirational song. Owing to this, the lyrics do nothing but motivate and inspire listeners. They encourage listeners to lose themselves in the moment and endeavor not to miss the golden opportunities that life presents them with.

Facts about “Lose Yourself”

• The song reached number 1 in over a dozen countries across the globe, including in the United Kingdom and the United States.
• The song was Eminem’s first ever number 1 hit in the United States.
• In 2003, when the song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, it made history by becoming the first rap song to ever win an Academy Award.
• Aside being regarded as one of the greatest hip hop song ever released, the song also made it into Rolling Stone magazine’s 2004 list of the “500 Greatest Songs of All Time”. It was placed at the 166th position, making it only one of the handful of hip hop songs to ever make it into the list.
• In 2014, Eminem filed a lawsuit against The National Party of Australia after the party used an unlicensed version of the song in a campaign video.
• In 2015, while sentencing a pair of twins to prison for violently attacking a gay man, D.C. Superior Court Judge Yvonne Williams took a quote from the song. She went on to refer to it as an inspirational song.

Notable Performance

This song won an Academy Award (aka an Oscar) in 2003 in the category of Best Original Song, as it was featured on Slim Shady’s autobiographical movie “8 Mile” (2002). Eminem was not present at the ceremony that year to receive the award. He was also supposed to perform the song live at the Oscars. However, he decided not to because the organizers would not allow him perform the uncensored version of it. As a result of that, “Lose Yourself” became the first Academy Award winning song that wasn’t performed at The Oscars.

However, he did shock the world so to speak by performing “Lose Yourself” at the 2020 Oscars. And there are three reasons why the decision to feature Eminem caught so many people off guard.

The 3 Reasons

First is that as aforementioned, the song he performed won an award almost two decades prior. Second is that the producers of the show kept his performance a top secret. It was such a secret that there was reportedly a clause where Em could cancel if his appearance was made public beforehand. But perhaps most notably is that Oscars in and of themselves are not really a venue for rappers. And this is apparently the main reason why Shady didn’t attend back in 2003 when he was actually nominated.

Did “Lose Yourself” win a Grammy?

Yes. At the 46th Annual Grammy Awards in 2004, the song clinched two Grammy Awards. It won in the below categories:

• “BestRap Solo Performance
• “BestRap Song”

Did Eminem write “Lose Yourself”?

Yes. Eminem alongside American music producers Jeff Bass of the Bass Brothers fame and Luis Resto penned this classic. According to Em, he wrote the song while he was on the set of the iconic film “8 Mile”.

FYI: There is a scene in “8 Mile” where Eminem’s character B-Rabbit is writing the song’s lyrics on a sheet of paper. Interestingly enough, that is the actual sheet on which Eminem penned down the lyrics of this classic.
