In his new book A Promised Land, the former President gave accolade to JAY-Z’s “My 1st Song” and Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” as the two songs that helped get his “head in the right place.”

“Both were about defying the odds and putting it all on the line,” he said during an Instagram Reel for ATTN:.

He then recited the lyrics from Eminem’s 2002 hit off the 8 Mile soundtrack: “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?”
