Lyrics Comparison (Intro Section Only) "Lose Yourself": 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? SCP-XXXX-1: 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

Neither Resto, Graves or Mathers were aware of SCP-XXXX or SCP-XXXX-1's existence. However, Marshal B. Mathers recognized that the rhyme schemes from SCP-XXXX-1 are similar to his style. He also confessed that he spoke with what he thought to be [DATA EXPUNGED] while under the influence in 199█, which later inspired him to write the intro to "Slim Shady EP" and his song "My Darling."

Mathers: There was another version of that song, that I don't even remember recording, I don't remember where I was at when I recorded it, I don't remember any of the first verse, I don't remember- I don't remember! So when he told- he called me one day and told me about it I was like "What?" It was like "Remember the scratch version of 'Lose Yourself'?"
