The Lyrics

Haven't done a double-parody for quite some time, where I take the lyrics of one song and "port" it to another in a parodic way, in a similar manner to Filipino comedy duo Moymoy Palaboy's parody of "Single Again" by Mariya Takeuchi, juxtaposing the lyrics of Teeth's booze anthem "Laklak".

Last time I did that was when I slapped the lyrics (or at least the basic gist) of "On The Good Ship Lollipop" into Katy Perry's "California Gurls" in 2010, but that didn't seem to work out as well as I hoped. Here's hoping this parody of "Lose Yourself" by Eminem to the tune of Idina's climatic ballad from Frozen II would make for quite a laugh. Some of the stuff has been abridged to fit the original melody, but I think this'll do.
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

There's this battle, of emcees
(Ah ah ah ah)
And some paintballs*
(Ah ah ah ah)
Couldn't help but glee
"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
* - In reference to that scene where Rabbit and his homies were carrying out a paintball drive-by as a morbid form of amusement.
