Lose Yourself Original Demo

[Intro]

Yo, if you could just, for one minute

Or one split second in time, forget everything

Everything that bothers you

All your problems, everything, and follow me

[Verse 1]

If I was froze inside of a moment

If I could capture time inside a capsule, an hourglass full

Of sand in the palm of my hand, it passes through it

If I can grasp it and just control what happens to it

Then I can trap it, so no more time elapses through it

If raps could do it, maybe I could tap into it

Then I could try to channel it through Cadillacs and Buicks

To transmit through 'em, to make you put your ass into it

And that's when you hit the roof because you can't sit through it

Your passions too much for you to not be dancin' to it

And as you do it, your movements become fast and fluent

You're mashin' to it, moshin' 'til you're black and bluish

You're actin' foolish, this music it has influenced

You to be rowdy but in an orderly fashion, true it's

Chaotic but it's got your body movin' as a unit

Unitin' together tonight, so make it last and you better just—

[Hook]

Lose yourself in this music, this moment

We own it, we won't never let it go (go)

You better move yourself 'cause tomorrow's ass can wait

There is no time to sit there and procrastinate (you better)

Lose yourself in this music, this moment

We own it, we won't never let it go (Go)

You better move yourself 'cause tomorrow's ass can wait

There is no time to sit there and procrastinate

You better—

[Verse 2]

'Cause when we descend together, we begin to move as one

In perfect unison just like the moon and sun

Illuminate the room and humans soon become aluminum

Rhythmically in sync, if you'll excuse the pun

But if you could lose it once, I mean if you could let shit go

Relax, take a breath, and just let it exit slow

To rest your soul, you could leave the rest to me

If I could give the world a hit of ecstasy

To make 'em feel the feelin' that I'm feelin' right this minute

'Cause I feel like the night won't end 'til I get finished

So close the shades, makin' sure no light gets in it

The sky's the limit tonight because the night's infinite

A high percentage of black people and white mixed in it

But no one really gives a fuck 'cause they just like what's spinnin'

His life was spinnin', the whole entire night just spinnin'

Like life's beginning

So come out from inside your skin and quit hidin' in it

[Hook]

Lose yourself in this music, this moment

We own it, we won't never let it go (go)

You better move yourself 'cause tomorrow's ass can wait

There is no time to sit there and procrastinate (you better)

Lose yourself in this music, this moment

We own it, we won't never let it go (Go)

You better move yourself 'cause tomorrow's ass can wait

There is no time to sit there and procrastinate

You better—
