The Lyrics

Wrote this one day as a double-parody where I take one song's lyrics and "port" it to another song's melody in a humorous or ironic manner since I haven't done that in a while, and it so it just occurred that Eminem did a performance of "Lose Yourself" at the Oscars with Idina Menzel herself in the audience. I thought maybe juxtaposing the two together would make for quite a laugh.

Yo, his palms are getting sweaty

And knees trembling cold

Puked with mom's spaghetti

Tried to spit out some rhymes; stage fright took hold

What he just wrote down

With the crowd, he couldn't groan

He's all nervous

And he dropped the microphone



He has always been impoverished

Stayed in a trailer park

Waged rap battles, too

Yet he's afraid to bark



Lose yourself

The moment, you own it

Lose yourself

It's your chance

This is the moment you're yearning for

All of your life

Lose yourself

Yo, mate, it's your turn

Ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah ah



His soul is all escaping

All this world I could own

A normal life is boring

But stardom feels stale; he's far from home

Barely knows his only daughter

Feeling washed up deep inside

The beat goes on

'Till break of dawn

I'm taking on them with rhymes!



Lose yourself

The moment, you own it

Just one shot

Will get you far

This is the moment you're yearning for

All of your life

Yo, lose yourself

Let us see what you got



Cease all these games

Change what's called rage

Tear this roof off

Like two dogs caged

Oh, the mood all changed

Like a new page

This is my shot

Feet fail me not



You got paintballs, I can see

(Ah ah ah ah)

If you shoot them

(Ah ah ah ah)

It's a felony

"Come on homies, cops around

We'll be found!"



Lose yourself

The moment, you own it

Lose yourself

Never let it go

This is the moment you're yearning for

All of your life

(All of my life)

Oh, lose yourself



You

Ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah

Ah ah ah ah
