Lose Yourself - Eminem



You can't ignore Eminem or his songs! Slim Shady makes a statement every time he performs. Even the cuss words make sense sometimes and go with the flow of the song. Just that anger, man! Lose Yourself is hands down one of the greatest hip hop tracks and playing in my head non-stop for the last few days.  Due credits to azlyrics.com for the verses!


"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?
Yo

His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
There's vomit on his sweater already, mom's spaghetti
He's nervous, but on the surface he looks calm and ready
To drop bombs but he keeps on forgetting what he wrote down,
The whole crowd goes so loud
He opens his mouth, but the words won't come out
He's choking how, everybody's joking now
The clock's run out, time's up, over, blaow!
Snap back to reality. Oh, there goes gravity
Oh, there goes Rabbit, he choked
He's so mad, but he won't give up that
Easy, no
He won't have it, he knows his whole back's to these ropes
It don't matter, he's dope
He knows that but he's broke
He's so sad that he knows
When he goes back to his mobile home, that's when it's
Back to the lab again, yo
This whole rhapsody
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 go)
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime (yo)
You better lose yourself in the music, the moment
You own it, you better never let it go go
You only get one shot, do not miss your chance to blow
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime yo

The soul's escaping, through this hole that is 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 superstardom's close to postmortem
It only grows harder, homie grows hotter
He blows. It's all over. These hoes is all on him
Coast to coast shows, he's known 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
But hold your nose 'cause here goes the cold water
His hoes don't want him no more, 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 da da

No more games, I am a change what you call rage
Tear this m…ing roof off like two dogs caged
I was playing in the beginning, the mood all changed
I've been chewed up and spit out and booed off stage
But I kept rhyming and stepped right into the next cypher
Best believe somebody's paying 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
'Cause man, these goddamn food stamps don't buy diapers
And it's no movie, there's no Michelle Pfeiffer, this is my life
And these times are so hard, and it's getting even harder
Trying to feed and water my seed, plus
Teeter totter caught up between being a father and a prima donna
Baby, mama drama's screaming on her
Too much for me to wanna
Stay in one spot, another day of monotony's gotten me
To the point, I'm like a snail
I've got to formulate a plot or I end up in jail or shot
Success is my only m….ing option, failure's not
Mom, I love you, but this trailer's got to go
I cannot grow old in Salem's lot
So here I go it's my shot.
Feet, fail me not
This may be the only opportunity that I got!

Streets of Philadelphia --- Bruce Springsteen

Haunting song from a brilliant movie!! By the Boss!! 'Nuf said!!






I was bruised and battered and I couldn't tell!
What I felt,
I was unrecognizable to myself!
I saw my reflection in a window I didn't know!
My own face,
Oh brother are you gonna leave me,
Wastin´away,
On the streets of Philadelphia!
[
I walked the avenue till my legs felt like stone,
I heard the voices of friends vanished and gone,
At night I could hear the blood in my veins,
Black and whispering as the rain,
On the streets of Philadelphia!

Ain't no angel gonna greet me
Its just you and I my friend,
My clothes don't fit me no more,
I walked a thousand miles,
Just to slip the skin!

The night has fallen, I'm lying awake,
I can feel myself fading away,
So receive me brother with your faithless kiss,
Or will we leave each other alone like this ,
On the streets of Philadelphia!

Ughad Daar Devaa (Marathi) - Aamhi Jaato Amuchya Gaava

Some of the few things that bind me to my Mumbai past - an absolutely soulful song from a delightfully engaging movie!



Dehaachi tijori, bhaktichach thevaa,
This body is a safety box filled with devotion itself,

Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva...!
Open the door, O Lord, please open the door!

Pite doodh dole mituni, jaat maanjarachi,
The cat's nature is to drink the milk with her eyes closed,

Mani chortyachya ka re bhiti chaandanyachi!
Why is there fear of moonlight in the heart of the thief?

Saraavalya haatanahi kampa ka sutava?
Why do expert hands tremble when they do something wrong?

Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva............,

Ujedaat hote punya, andharaat paap!
Good deeds are done in daylight; evil, always in the darkness!

Jyache tyache hati aahe kartavyache maap!
Everyone has the measure of responsibility in his own hands!

Dushta durjananchi kaisi ghade lokseva?
How can evil people do community service?

Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva............!!

Swarth janu bhintivarcha aarasa bilori,
Greed is like the tricky mirror on the wall,

Aapulich pratima hote, aapulich vairi,
Its our own reflection, which becomes our enemy,

Ghadoghadi apradhyancha tol savarava,
From time to time the sins need be measured / balanced,

Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva............!

Tujhya hati panduranga tijori tutavi,
This safety box (the body) should be broken by your hands, O Panduranga (Krishna),

Muktapane bhakti majhi tujhi tu lutavi,
Freely you may loot me of your devotion,

Marga tujhya raulacha, mala to kalava,
Please help me understand your way of enlightenment,

Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva............!


Balepansathi koni bure pana kela,
To do a good deed, sometimes people do bad things,

Bandhanat asuni veda jagi mukta zala,
Though bound by earthly desires, they are ignorant of their freedom,

Aapulyach saukhyachahi karil to heva!
A person will also envy his own happiness!

Ughad daar deva aata, ughad daar deva............!

Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day

Need I say more? Green Day with one more song on the futility of War!!



Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
7 years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
20 years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends!

U2 - With or Without You

Blaring out of the headset into my ears all day long for the past week!



See the stone set in your eyes!
See the thorn twist in your side!
I wait for you!

Sleight of hand and twist of fate,
On a bed of nails she makes me wait,
And I wait without you!

With or without you!!
With or without you!!

Through the storm we reach the shore,
You give it all but I want more,
And I'm waiting for you,

With or without you!!
With or without you!!
I can't live
With or without you!!

And you give yourself away;
And you give yourself away;
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away!

My hands are tied,
My body bruised, she's got me with
Nothing to win and
Nothing left to lose!!

And you give yourself away,
And you give yourself away,
And you give...
And you give...
And you give yourself away!

With or without you!!
With or without you!!
I can't live
With or without you!!

With or without you!!
With or without you!!
I can't live
With or without you!!
With or without you!!

Hoobastank - The Reason

Don't ask me why! Playing again & again in my mind like a record, this song. Maybe I am hurting too!






I'm not a perfect person. there are many things i wish i didn't do,
But i continue learning! I never meant to do those things to you,
And so i have to say before i go, that i just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you

I'm sorry that i hurt you, its something I must live with everyday,
And all the pain i put you through, I wish that i could take it all away
And be the one who catches all your tears, that's why I need you to hear

I'm not a perfect person, I never meant to do those things to you
And so I have to say before I go that I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me, to change who I used to be,
A reason to start over new, and the reason is you
I've found a reason to show a side of me you didnt know,
A reason for all that i do, and the reason is you!!
