If I cancel do I lose my music?

When you cancel your Apple Music subscription, you will lose access to all of the music you've saved from the service as well as any playlists from Apple Music. You may want to take screenshots of the artists, albums, and playlists before canceling your account.

But if you cancel a paid subscription, you'll have through the paid billing cycle to keep listening before the cancellation takes effect.
