Lose Yourself
[Intro]
Look, if you had one shot, one opportunity
To unbreak healthcare in this moment
Would you capture it, or just let it slip? Yo

[Verse 1]
Her palms are sweaty, gloves tight, arms unsteady
There's vomit on her scrubs already, Room 4's spaghetti
She's nervous, and so the nurses, they look on with pity
She won't stop, student loan default ain't pretty
So she clicks on, her inbox grows so loud
She opens the chart but the labs won't be found
She chokin' now, while the patient's holdin' out
To connect, but how? Times up, over—BLAOW!
HCAHPS is reality, oh the Press Ganey means those
Depressed ladies get hosed with those Valium
Holdin' hands with 'em? No code for that, meaning
She don't get jack, paperwork stacked and stacked on em'
Heartbroke, she's so sad, system broken so bad
That she knows when she thinks back to that Oath she took
That's when it's back to the goal again, yo
She ain't sellin' her soul
Time to wake up and unbreak it, yo!

[Chorus 1]
Don't ever lose yourself in the system
The moment, you wishin' you shoulda gone to business school
You only get one shot, do not let them crush your soul
You should be proud to be workin' that IV pole
Don't ever lose yourself in the system
The moment, you wishin' they woulda told you this in school
You only get one shot, let doctors be doctors, yo
Cuz it's a calling you got, so don't let it go
[Verse 2]
No more games, unbreak this cuz we got played
Tear this muthaclickin' crap off, yo, ants, meet Raid
It was noble in the beginning, the mood all changed
We been chewed out and split up by suits all day
But we kept whining and kept trying to step backwards
Time for unitin' and writin' the next chapters
Assembly line grind is fine to build tractors
The "why" we strive hidin' behind these distractors
Trying to define quality via these lame factors
Time to rise up, make a stand cuz goddamn, we can't work no faster
Healthcare's no movie but plenty of bad actors
This is our time, but our dreams are so scarred
And it's just like Harry Potter
Tryin' to lead but gotta concede, fear's a teeter-totter
Caught up between being a doctor and a decent father
That Obama drama bleedin' on and too much
For us to wanna stay in this spot, our scalpels' frayin' this knot
Together with our patients, this entire team has got
To formulate a plot, 'fore our whole economy's shot
Success is our only therapeutic option, failure's not!
Gasping for breath, so our inhaler's got to flow
No, we will not hold, we won't be stopped
Health 3.0 is our shot, hospitals, nurses, and docs
This may be the only opportunity that we got
[Chorus 2]
Don't ever lose yourself in the system
The moment, you own it, you better never let it go
You only get one shot, do not bow to status quo
This opportunity comes once in a lifetime, yo!
Don't ever lose yourself in the system
The moment, we own it, we better never let it go
We only get one shot, do not miss this chance to grow
This opportunity come once in a lifetime, yo!

[Outro]
We can do anything we set our minds to, Doc
