Stage Fright
to the tune of Lose Yourself by Eminem
Look, if you had only one shot, one opportunity
To impress your Oral Comm class and get a good grade
Would you go for it? Or just screw it up?
Yo!

My palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy
I feel like I could vomit already, pulse unsteady
I�m nervous, I wish I�d been prepared and ready
for my speech, but I just keep forgetting
what I wrote down, boy, this is one tough crowd
I open my mouth but only stutters come out
I�m dyin�, wow, everybody�s booin� now
The time�s run out, my life�s over, sit down!

This is my reality, my voice defies gravity
oh, my tongue�s twisted, I choked
This is bad, my stomach�s so queasy
I can�t stand it
I just wanna get out and run
Well, this sure isn�t fun!
I know that but I�m stunned
Froze to the spot, I�m numb
I wish that someone could take me home
I just wanna
hug my mom and cry
I�m so embarrassed
I�d better remember this moment and hope it don�t happen again

You better know, that this is my big shot, my moment
I�ve blown it, my mind has gone completely blank
Was my speech about football, Greenland, The Cosby Show,
or all the camels that I�ve owned in my lifetime???

I�m gonna lose, my good grade, my good name, it�s a shame
put the blame, on all these butterflies and nerves
I want to disappear, my face is so red, I know
I�ve never been so embarrassed in my lifetime

I�m never speaking publicly again, man.
