Lose Your PhoneEminem
00:00 / 05:24

VERSE 1

 

His palms are empty 

Cab’s here, bags are ready

He’s clawin’ on his sweater and dreading 

that off we’re heading

 

He’s nervous

cause on the surface 

he looks dressed and ready, 

with his Cell PHONE 

But he keeps on forgetting

 

where he’s thrown it down  

and He won’t go before it’s found

He pokes all around,  

in couches and on the ground  

 

and He’s frozen now.

Everyone’s out smokin now  

The clock’s run out

The damn phone’s nowhere. How?

            

He tracks back to the living room

Ope, There goes wiggle room 

Ope, that’s bro’s habit. He

holds us all back when he

 

won’t let go passively 

No he goes at it. He 

knows we’re so mad and it     

shows he’s so scattered. He 

 

owns this whole pattern is

old And so he casually 

jokes that-he’s so bad with his

Mobile phone. That’s when it’s 

 

Back to the cab 

To Recap His whole rap-sheet 

And hope to adapt to the

happenstance. Tho We told him

 

CHORUS

 

You’re gonna 

lose your cell phone 

the moment, you want it 

We told you 

You better never let it go

You only had one job,
To not lose your fancy phone

So maybe you-need-to 

move back to a Landline 

 

You’re gonna 

lose your cell phone 

the moment, you want it 

We told you 

You better never let it go

You only had one job,
To not lose your fancy phone

So maybe you-need-to 

move back to a Landline 


 

VERSE 2


 

Steps retracing

Through the zones of misplacing

No word on time, while we’re waiting

And here’s the thing:

 

He could find order

He’s no hoarder

Afford a time for storing

 

That isn’t  now-when-we

chose-to-go  out-and-he 

Only goes harder, 

He only grows bothered

And throws shit all over 

 

He knows it’s all on him 

And fo-mo grows right as 

He knows ‘at-the show started 

 

Cost some rows, and god only 

knows by now how many 

homes he’s bom-barded, with

phone woes due to his 

A.D.D. fodder.

 

And hold the boat cause 

there goes the regatta. 

His bros don’t want him no more, 

we forgot him 

 

We moved right  Onto 

the show. We chose, 

I suppose, that we owe nada 


 

and so the phone opera 

unfolds, I’m told

he don’t even know we’ve departed 

So the hunT goes on

Da-dum di-um 



 

CHORUS

 

You’re gonna 

lose your cell phone 

the moment, you want it 

We told you 

You better never let it go

You only had one job,
To not lose your fancy phone

So maybe you-need-to 

move back to a Landline 

 

You’re gonna 

lose your cell phone 

the moment, you want it 

We told you 

You better never let it go

You only had one job,
To not lose your fancy phone

So maybe you-need-to 

move back to a Landline 


 

VERSE 3

 

No more games.

I’m enraged that he won’t change

Tore this god-forsaken house up 

Like Nicolas cage 

 

I was sayin-in the beginn-in

How RUDE it plays 

I’ve been stood up and 

without a clue for days

 

But I kept fighting

White knightin’ 

Despite times where 

Best believe I’d rather leave him

and ride bikes there 

 

All the waiting time

Amplified-by the

Fact that I 

can’t rely on nights I’m his 

Ride. And I 

can’t deny we might fight there 

in light of the time scramblin

 

But dammit, he might stand

to plan if it’s my rideshare

 

And this slow movement, 

Ya know what, it’s my nightmare

 

This is my time and 

he’s making it so hard 

 

And it’s getting 

even harder Tryna 

even bother to

BE.  RUSHED. 

 

We don’t wanna cause up 

a scene  

bringing the drama

when we’re screamin’ on him

days he’s gonna wanna lead us ON.

 

izit too much 

For him to leave it 

All in SPOT ?

 

Another day of 

forgotten things gotten me

 

To the point.

I might just bail and watch 

Him forced to take some knocks

Or set up a salient spot 

Unless he chose his only 

other fuckin’ option: 

Mail and CLOCKS 

 

And it’s getting 

even harder Tryna 

even bother to

BE.  RUSHED. 

 

We don’t wanna cause up 

a scene  

bringing the drama

when we’re screamin’ on him

days he’s gonna wanna lead us ON.

 

izit too much 

For him to leave it 

All in SPOT ?

 

Another day of 

forgotten things gotten me

 

To the point.

I might just bail and watch 

Him forced to take some knocks

Or set up a salient spot 

Unless he chose his only 

other fuckin’ option: 

Mail and CLOCKS 

 

Bro, I love you but this 

failure’s got to go.

I cannot grow old with phones forgot. 

So here we go, it’s your shot. 

Set sail or not

This may be the only 

opportunity that you got

 

CHORUS

 

You’re gonna 

lose your cell phone 

the moment, you want it 

We told you 

You better never let it go

You only had one job,
To not lose your fancy phone

So maybe you-need-to 

move back to a Landline 

 

You’re gonna 

lose your cell phone 

the moment, you want it 

We told you 

You better never let it go

You only had one job,
To not lose your fancy phone

So maybe you-need-to 

move back to a Landline
